Kips Bay Kathryn Ireland Shows Bed Perfection

Every once in a while you see a bed that

is done so that you can actually sleep in it.

At this years Kips Bay Show House in NYC

Kathryn Ireland did the bedroom in her

latest line of fabrics and trim from 

Scalamandre.

Her fabric combinations are so chic and lush.

This bed is a major statement, but you can

see that for the scale she only 

used 3 accent pillows

and actually shows the sleeping pillows

tucked in place.

Too often beds get overloaded with pillows, 

huge bolsters and more.

Your floor is littered with them each

 morning and it is tough getting up in the

 middle of the night without tripping

 over them.

It's still a tight squeeze with only

 3 decorator pillows in

this size bedroom.

You can "over dress" any size

bed, but finally that look is

becoming extinct I think.

 The Quintessence coverage of this

years Kip's Bay House is extensive

and so well done.  

Don't miss seeing all the details.
