20 ways to create a soothing, luxe bedroom both genders will love

I find mixing solid, earthy elements with some subtle glam notes like furry pillows and gilded accessories strikes the right note. Herewith is a bedroom that would make us both happy. — Joslyn from Simple Lovely
Woodland Slumber Canopy Bed, Beige
This modern take on a canopy bed manages to feel masculine and romantic at the same time, which is not an easy feat.
Woods Poster by Debbie Carlos
Debbie Carlos's giant "Woods" poster is dreamy and a bit mysterious. I'd splurge on a giant gilt frame and hang this over the bed.

These pillows manage to feel organic and luxe at once. I especially love that dove gray.
Arimatsu Quilt

Glazed Pillow Cover
I'd mix these gilded pillows in with the furry ones to temper the earthiness and up the glam ratio!

Round Handle Basket: Large
A big basket next to the bed for stashing blankets and magazines is an essential in every bedroom.

I'd mix a few of these little iron taper holders with some glass ones to add a rustic element.
