When I think of the Spanish Colonial Revival look, I think of rustic natural wood, clay, and rough plasterwork. Though there's nothing wrong with this style, I have seen it done hundreds of times. Diane Keaton's bedroom makes the design brand new.
The bedroom furniture in Keaton's home follows the wooden convention but with one important twist: everything is stained extra dark, almost black. This dark stain against the classic white plaster walls creates a striking contrast. The vintage furniture brings an interesting twist to the modern color palette, creating a space that's unlike anything I've ever seen.
I love everything about this Spanish Revival space. First and foremost, I love how the room reflects Keaton's personal style. Diane Keaton has long been known as an enthusiast of a black and white color palette in her wardrobe, and the bedroom shows how she brings it into her home. It's a great inspiration point for those who want to take an established interior design style and inject their personal flair into the look.
Shop the look
If you are looking to exactly recreate Keaton's space, she swears by vintage Monterey furniture, and 1stDibs has a great selection. This sofa is especially charming and would fit well into a Spanish Colonial Revival bedroom.
Though not inspired by a specific piece in Keaton's bedroom, this candleholder pays homage to the Spanish revival trend that's so evident in the home. This earthy pair is perfect for bringing a warm, Southern European-inspired touch to any room.
Bring the charm of the Spanish revival aesthetic into your home with beautiful ironwork. This wall sconce has the full flair for half the price – so why wait to follow Keaton's lead?
Keaton brightens her space alive with colorful prints in dark frames. Create the same bold look with these dark natural wood frames.
This woven frame is at once rustic and sophisticated, once again tapping into the Spanish Revival aesthetic that's so synonymous with Keaton.
This artisan-quality planter has an organic shape and feel to add some texture and interest to any bedroom corner, entryway, or patio. Just add your favorite greenery and enjoy the actress-inspired aesthetic.
I also love how Keaton's design incorporates texture into the distinctly Western bedroom idea. From the boucle cushions on the bed, to the natural wood of the furniture to the gray patterned rug of the floor, it's full of beautiful materials that make eachother look more interesting and bold.
Finally, I adore how Keaton has brought color into the room using a deconstructed gallery wall, allowing the natural texture of the wall to shine rather than covering it up. On each of the side tables next to her bed, she has filled a different-sized collection of frames with colorful prints and photos arranged in an artful format. She has chosen a different format on each side of the bed for a refreshingly asymmetrical look. If you want to show off personal items but aren't sure how to tastefully, this is a great way to start.
If you're hoping to create a similar look, it's worth decorating with antiques and sourcing custom furniture. Stephen Shadley, Keaton's longtime interior designer, states: 'Di became an avid collector of vintage Monterey Furniture, and sometimes we designed our own king-size beds and TV cabinets made by artisans using faithful woods, finishes, and ironwork.'
For those replicating Keaton's look, I would also opt for choosing white bedding. The high contrast of this style against the black headboard and furniture is striking and bold, while simultaneously grounding. You can always add visual interest with brighter throw pillows, as Keaton has done.
Incorporating your personal style into your design can never be a bad thing, and by blending her personal style with the established Spanish revival look, Diane Keaton creates a bedroom that is a true work of art.
