Do you dream of a colorful bedroom? Thanks to architect Jess Thomas, we do; it was her pale pink-on-pink guest room that really piqued our interest. A monochromatic bedroom telegraphs an inviting completeness and calmness. The trick? Use serene colors and avoid monotony by introducing a range of hues and textures: the goal is a tone-on-tone, single-color space that’s both nuanced and restful.
