Top Designer creates modern elegance bedroom with craftsmanship

Driven by the desire to create a room that exemplified comfort, elegance and authenticity, designer Pat Harker of Harker Design used pieces from Woodland Furniture’s Patrician Collection—which encompasses its latest introductions––to fashion a timeless retreat. www.harkerdesign.com
	Decorative lighting was a reoccurring theme throughout the DreamRooms exhibit, and the Timeless Retreat bedroom was no exception. The base of Arteriors Home’s 30-inch-tall Seymour table lamp is detailed in a way that emulates one of the nightstand lamps in the bedroom display. www.arteriorshome.com
	The curvaceous wooden bed seen in Harker’s creation added an element of traditional authenticity to the room. Riverside Furniture’s Mansion bed from the Regal Heritage Collection can be used to bring a similar look to a showroom vignette. The piece features 18th Century design elements and a distressed Legacy finish. King and queen sizes are available. www.riverside-furniture.com
	A studded leather armchair added sophistication and style, as well as functionality, to the Timeless Retreat bedroom. Retailers can emulate this look by incorporating a comfortable armchair, like Sussex from Arin Intl., into a room vignette. Part of the Old English Upholstery Collection, Sussex wears antique leather and nailhead trim. www.arininternational.ca
	Elegant lines and beautiful textiles were essential elements of the Timeless Retreat. The clean-lined, upholstered bench featured in the room wore a soft green fabric from Zoffany and was situated to capture the attention of anyone entering the space. With its gold leather and button-tufted scroll arms, Marge Carson's elegant Borghese daybed makes an appropriate stand-in in a showroom vignette. www.margecarson.com
