The imperfect horizontal grain of the wood creates the illusions of a larger space, despite the darker colour of the wood is a contemporary bedroom version. The hard lines of the wood, bookshelves and books are contrasted against the soft qualities of the comforter and lava lamp accessory, allowing comfort to penetrate the intensity of the room. To keep this space from being oppressive, the white bedding lightens the room and the frosted glass provides the appearance of a window. An interesting feature in this space is the headboard, which is untraditionally concave.
