Guest Picks: An Enchanted Forest Bedroom
Live out a fairy tale with heirloom-quality bedroom furniture, natural accessories and a sprinkle of gilt
When the nights grow longer and the weather blusters on, I find myself craving a bedroom retreat glowing with warmth and dotted with enchanting, nature-inspired finds. Mixed metals, leaf and branch motifs, and eclectic treasures bring a creative touch to heirloom-worthy classics like the iron bed frame and stately dresser. Spruce up your bedroom for winter (and beyond) with these 20 wonderful fairy tale finds. — Laura from Lolalina
Enchanted Forest Chandelier
This delicate chandelier from Terrain would set the tone for an entire room. It's enchanting, gilded and inspired by nature.
Handpainted Toile Pull-Up Chair
Every bedroom can use a little chair for tossing clothes onto, or for perching on to take off your shoes. My current favorite is this svelte little number from Anthropologie that is upholstered in a chic black and white toile.
'Winter is Coming' Art Print
I like to change up the artwork around my house each season. It's an easy way to change the mood of a room and costs relatively little when you purchase prints. Right now I have my eye on this one by Gabriella Barouch.
Ferns Wallpaper, Gold
This golden Ferns wallpaper designed by artist Lisa Congdon for Hygge & West is stunning, yet it's still subtle enough to work in a large space.
Boho Iron Bed
A classic iron bed feels snug and cozy, like something in a hidden attic bedroom from a time long past.
Cable-Knit Shag Pillow, Square
This wonderfully fluffy pillow combines plush faux fur with cable knit for a mixed-media confection you won't be able to resist hugging.
Crochet Throw
A crochet throw is delicate, bohemian, elegant and a bit granny-chic all at once. How could you not want one?
Sequined Fairisle Pillow, Small Rectangle
I love that this Sequined Fairisle pillow from Anthropologie combines silver and gold. It will pull together metallic elements of all shades, so go ahead and mix it up.
Silver Log Stool
I am a sucker for tree stumps in design, and this Log stool is one of my favorites. The gold version has been featured on Houzz before, but I couldn't resist adding the silver leaf stool as well. Cast from a real tree, it is extremely realistic.
Magic Magnetic Feathers
This collection of feathers has a secret: Each one is backed by a magnet and comes with a matching magnet that can be stuck to the wall, creating an instant magnet board anywhere you wish.
Bonne Nuit Set
It feels extra special to keep your nightly glass of water in a carafe. I am especially fond of this one with its etched "Bonne Nuit" and simple, elegant shape.
Light Gesso Box Shelf
Do you have a bunch of special little trinkets and jewels you never quite know what to do with? Well, why not use a petite wall-mounted cabinet like this one from Cox & Cox to corral your pretties? The wallpaper lining will make each little thing stand out.
Louis XVI Double Dresser
A capacious dresser is a must, and this one from Ballard Designs is so lovely. I could see using it in the living room just as easily.
Mini Gilded Gold Mirrors
These three little gold-framed mirrors come as a set, so you don't have to hunt for the perfect combination of vintage mirrors. I would hang them in a cluster over the dresser, beside a linen-covered pin board displaying favorite jewelry.
Tailor Loveseat, Peacock
If you have a great big master bedroom, don't let all of that extra room go to waste. Bring in a comfy upholstered loveseat that you can curl up in. This one from Crate & Barrel has a classic shape and nailhead trim, but the vibrant peacock blue upholstery sets it apart.
Twister Table Lamp
This little lamp from Room & Board strikes the perfect balance between mod and glam. Use a pair as bedside lamps, or place one on a side table next to your love seat.
Chestnut Roasting Pan
Roasting chestnuts over an open fire seems so romantic — and if this is a dream bedroom, there must be a fireplace, right?
Zinc Log Basket
If your bedroom actually does have a fireplace (even a non-working one), play it up by bringing in a handsome container for cut firewood.
Pip Berry Lighted Garland, White
Prettify your mantel (or windowsill) with one of these ingenious branch garlands from Terrain. There are tiny lights at the tips of each of the faux needles, creating a magical ambient glow.
Basket Tree Skirt
Bring in the ultimate enchanted forest accoutrement: a real tree! I love the idea of picking out a second (much smaller) Christmas tree to keep in the bedroom. This basket tree skirt is perfect: rustic, simple and chic.
