When designing a bold space, the popular train of thought is often that the furniture needs to be as bold as possible. Anne Hathaway's California home shirks this convention. Rather than inviting boldness and color through furnishings, she uses paint and accessories to brighten the furniture grounds.
I'll admit that I've long held the misconception about bold furniture, but now that I've seen Anne Hathaway's bedroom, I will never look at the role of furniture in the same light. Especially for a bedroom, I think this might be one of the smartest, most beautiful, and most cost-effective ways to design a space. In the Les Misérables actress's home a washed gray farmhouse-style side table sits by a natural wood, open-concept bed. Above, a simple mid-century modern lamp grants some design contrast. These simple pieces create the perfect backdrop to allow the pink bedding, pink paneled walls and blue accent bowls on the side table.
