A bedroom in Montauk by Roman and Williams.
This room almost feels unplanned, yet it’s incredibly sophisticated. It’s a perfect example of using contrast and scale in a restrained setting: the dark accent pieces with the light bedding, and the diminutive, delicate table with the heavy lamp. We love the block-printed shams and nubby throw; we’ll be using both of these ideas in our project.

This room is almost 40 years old but looks great because it is well-edited and features simple, high-contrast colors and textures.
