He’s what one might consider a 19th-century flâneur—someone who enjoys a leisurely pace of life, acutely attuned to the beauty they encounter and the stories that reveal themselves as they stroll through the world. Rupert is also a collector, and he prefers his home to be a living museum of wonders—a place to exhibit all the treasures and trinkets he’s accumulated on his many adventures. Rupert and his love for eclectic, worldly pieces was the inspiration for this primary bedroom design (I even hung his portrait prominently on the wall!).\u003C/span>\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"2\" link=\"none\" size=\"large\" ids=\"33483,33484\"]\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">Shop the Bedroom Design\u003C/span>\u003C/strong>\u003C/span>\u003C/h3>\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Cdiv class=\"row\">\u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/25006-Quade-Sugarshack-Pearl-Performance-Upholstered-Matte-Black-Iron-Canopy-Bed-King?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33501\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_25006.jpg\" alt=\"king-sized iron four-poster canopy bed\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div>\u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/169388-Visual-Comfort-Karam-Modern-Classic-Brass-Shade-Cream-Ceramic-Table-Lamp?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33500\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_169388.jpg\" alt=\"Visual Comfort Karam ceramic table lamp with brass shade\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div>\u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/99764-Caspian-Brass-Bell-Cluster-Small?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33504\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_99764.jpg\" alt=\"Bell cluster decor\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div>\u003C/div>\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Cdiv class=\"row\">\u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/40028-Padma-Coastal-Beach-Brown-Rattan-Gold-Antique-Brass-Steel-Wall-Sconce?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33503\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_40028.jpg\" alt=\"antique brass and rattan wall sconce\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div>\u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/160294-Fibreworks-Arlo-Coastal-Beach-Dark-Wheat-Braided-Jute-Rug-x?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33691\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_160294.jpg\" alt=\"Fibreworks jute rug\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div>\u003Cdiv class=\"col-lg-4\">\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/115805-Ayra-Mid-Century-Modern-Dusk-Brown-Oak-Wood-Drawer-Nightstand?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-33494\" src=\"https://d307biz9bwtpmz.cloudfront.net/articles/content/product_115805.jpg\" alt=\"brown oak nightstand with one drawer and two shelves\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\u003C/a>\r\n\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003C/div>\u003C/div>\u003C/span>\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 24pt;\">\u003Cb>Designing a Collected, Layered Primary Bedroom\u003C/b>\u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular; font-size: 14pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This bedroom began as a totally blank space—think white walls, clean lines, and all the character of an empty new-build home. Incorporating layered textures, both tactile and visual, was such a key element to making this room feel warm and inviting. We used a sensorial mix of materials to achieve this—cashmere, linen, matelassé, velvet, brass, rattan, and jute, just to name a few. And we brought in items that provide a sense of visual depth to a space, like our \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.kathykuohome.com/Product/Detail/164885-Chandi-Modern-Classic-Brown-Teak-Mother-of-Pearl-Inlay-Sideboard?utm_source=social&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=house-beautiful-bedroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandi sideboard\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with mother-of-pearl inlay.
