Even though this year’s Decorator Showcase in San Francisco has come to a close, I wanted to share one of my favorite spaces in the house, the Master Bedroom by Heather Hilliard. The serene bedroom is a great example of Heather’s ability to integrate classic detailing with the order of modern design. She states, “My concept for the room was inspired by a quote I read by a French designer, “Sometimes the beauty of a space is the empty space.” That idea resonated with me. I edited the room down to the essentials and used luxurious materials to create a serene environment with accents of color and a focus on contemporary art”.

Heather designed the room as an art installation, with white of cream 16” wide horizontal painted stripes integrated into the design of the space. To create softness against the striped walls, curvy, organic shaped furnishings like the kidney-shaped Vladimir Kagan-inspired sofa.

The space displays the beginnings of an exquisite contemporary art collection. Over the mantel hangs “Storm King” by Robert Kingston, while in the entryway “Specks of Dust” by Gary Blum. Also in the entryway, hangs the Coquille Chandelier by Remains that was inspired by the legendary Tony Duquette. The fixture is hand molded of opaline resin and directly cast from the original pattern found in Duquette’s archive.

A modern wooden sculpture by David Nash and brass fire screen by John Lyle add warmth and texture to the space. 

The custom oxidized brass screen was stunning and the room’s piece of jewelry. Love!

The custom striped headboard by Heather seamlessly lines up with the painted wall stripes.

Heather also applied the fashion advice of Coco Chanel to the room’s design, “before you leave the house, remove one piece.” Such great advice!
