Not Chocolate, Not Cream – Dakota Johnson's Bedroom Features the Evocative, Expensive Colors That are Replacing Beige in 2026

Dakota Johnson.

In the early 2020s, beige was the pinnacle of luxury. We upholstered our furniture in it, painted our walls with it, and draped our bodies with it. However, in the latter half of the decade, we're shifting back in time to more nostalgic, evocative palettes to signify good taste. Dakota Johnson's mid-century modern bedroom indicates that burgundy and dark wood are the next frontier.

Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward of Pierce & Ward, designed Dakota's Los Angeles bungalow following her purchase of the property in 2016, to much acclaim. A 1947 mid-century home originally designed by architect Carl Maston provided a wonderful base upon which the duo layered a blend of vintage, cozy, and personal touches. Dakota's cozy yet elegant bedroom embodies this philosophy, featuring a sumptuous Persian rug and a mustard velvet bed layered over dark wood interiors. Wicker and cane furniture introduce an alternative texture that makes the walls appear all the richer. Finally, white, yellow, and burgundy bedding ties the look together with a bow.
