I wrote about this bedroom in Boxford, Massachusetts designed by Jenn O'Brien for Boston Globe Magazine at the end of last summer. It's a great example of clean, transitional bedroom design that incorporates a canopy bed.
O'Brien used the Driftwood canopy bed from StyleCarrot partner Crate & Barrel which gives the room a stately feel thanks to its architectural lines. She also used it to create symmetry in the room by centering it on the window.
Since the clients wanted the bedroom to feel soothing, O'Brien employed a subdued palette, but punched it up with hits of black and sumptuous pattern underfoot. She actually painted the abstract artwork herself; I think it really makes the room!
You can pull together a similar look for a transitional bedroom with exact and similar matches to the ones used by the designer. I perused StyleCarrot partner sites to find them for you.
