Mirror, Mirror
Bedroom Four

afm designer showhouse bedroom four

The first thing you’ll notice upon entering this lower-level bedroom, also designed by Ladlow’s Fine Furniture, is the use of mirrors, including a mirrored screen and entertainment center. The purpose of these luxe looking glasses is two-fold: 1) they create the illusion that the room is much larger than it is, and 2) they accentuate the stunning view. “There will be a point of reflection from each side of the room that we hope will capture both the view and [act as] an invitation into the room from the entry way,” says Sam West, one of the room’s designers.

Another dramatic feature of the room is the bed, with its distressed black coloring and ornate headboard. (West notes that the bed always sets the mood and style of a bedroom.) The use of the color black actually acts as a unifying theme between the pieces in the space, tying together the bed, the frame around the mirror screen and the fabrics used throughout. —M.L.
