Beauty in the Bedroom(18)

Elegant Proportions

This St. Louis home’s beautiful master bedroom is a celebration of beautiful proportions. The architecture is just right, from the dimensions of the coved ceiling to how the ceiling relates to the scale of the small-pane casement windows. The sweep of the poster bed conquers vertical space with just spot-on precision, and the bench at the foot of the bed adds necessary weight to keep the room balanced. Note how the chandelier’s large scale but delicate form is exactly what is needed.
