Steal This Look: Bohemian Mix in an LA Bedroom

October 4, 2016

Our friend Jamie Rosenthal, owner of Lost & Found in LA, tipped us off to the work of interior designer Frances Merrill of Reath Design. Merrill, who lived in Greenwich Village, NY, before moving to Los Angeles, works with vintage furniture, bohemian fabrics, and isn’t afraid of color or pattern. Here’s a look at the vibrant bedroom with a list of key sources straight from Merrill.

Above: “This bedroom was for one of my favorite clients,” says Merrill. “Her children were getting older and she suddenly found herself with the occasional hour to read a book in her bedroom. I really relished creating that space for her.”

Above: “The first thing we did was change the color of the plaster from yellow to a pale gray/cream and then layered all my favorite textures, textiles, and designers,” she says.
