Gray Curtains/Ikea Cabinet Storage

The objective was to create a low contrast/soothing sleep space. No jangling contrasts or colors. My big fear conceptually was that I would end up with 70's glossy modern, Tom Ford style bachelor pad glam. Because that style had become hip, it had also become easy to find. I worried that I might end up with swank to spare out of search fatigue or sheer laziness. To avoid this, I restricted my choices to satin and matte finishes, and avoided polished metal or retro embellishments of any kind. Catherine Memmi, Henri Becq, Armani Casa, CasaMilano, and Interieurs NYC were my inspirations and references.

 

The "built in" storage is a set of Ikea kitchen cabinets with brown/black doors. The kitchen systems at Ikea are head and shoulders above the "closet and wardrobe" storage systems at Ikea. If you need bedroom storage, skip the Pax units and pay slightly more for the Akurum kitchen cabinets. Well worth it.

 

I am still looking for the right white paint. If you have a suggestion, let me know.
