Sweet Dreams
Krista Watterworth Design Studio (561-530-3983) joined the Ivy League–chic faction of the preppy movement for this Wellington bedroom. “This room was meticulously designed for a former Connecticut debutante who loves bold style but loathes flamboyance,” Watterworth says. “I was inspired by the French phrase bon chic, bon genre (good style, good attitude), a description of the country’s most elite, whose fashion is sophisticated and colorful but never flashy. With this in mind, I chose the highest quality linens, lush textiles, and silver and crystal accents to button up the look.”
Fixture Upper
Harness whimsy in your interior design with Stray Dog Designs’ Girly hanging lantern ($950) in a delicious pumpkin hue with white-trimmed scallop edges.
