A floral upholstered bed is the showpiece in this bedroom created by Bea Doucet and Jim Davis of Doucet-Watts & Davis Interiors in Halifax.

They enlivened its blue/taupe palette with soft pinks in the custom bed linens and accents, with a hot pink chair giving a punch of colour. “It’s whimsical and uplifting but still sophisticated,” says Doucet.

Unique collections of dollhouses, Chinese porcelain and figurines abound in the space. “When you place an object well, it just sings,” says Davis. They opted for swing-arm lamps to maximize space on the night tables.

Tip: If you have space, pick generous-sized night tables that are at least the height of the bed.
