BEDROOMS
Traditional Bedrooms
Five collected bedrooms shaped by warm wood, timeless color, tailored pattern, and pieces with character. Each offers a different expression of traditional design while sharing the layered, welcoming spirit of Merritt Home.
ROOM ONE
Blue & White Collected
A bright, layered bedroom where tailored blue pattern meets warm walnut, aged brass, and pieces that feel gathered over time.
WHY WE LOVE THIS ROOM
Blue and white establish the room’s classic foundation, but warm wood and antique-inspired details keep the palette from feeling cool or coastal. Varied checks, stripes, and small prints create depth while the cream architecture gives every element room to breathe.
DESIGNER NOTES
Use blue in three different scales, then interrupt the palette with walnut, woven texture, and aged brass. Keep the walls and largest textiles quiet so the pattern feels collected rather than coordinated.
THE ROOM RECIPE
ROOM TWO
English Chintz
A colorful English-inspired bedroom with chintz, moss green, faded rose, and the easy character of a room assembled over time.
WHY WE LOVE THIS ROOM
The floral fabric brings movement and personality, while cream walls, antique wood, and tailored bedding keep the room grounded. Moss green and pale blue make the muted rose feel sophisticated rather than sweet.
DESIGNER NOTES
Limit the hero chintz to one or two applications, such as curtains and a chair. Pull quieter colors from the fabric for the bedding, rug, and lampshades instead of repeating the floral everywhere.
THE ROOM RECIPE
ROOM THREE
Tailored New England
Crisp, handsome, and quietly traditional, with blue walls, walnut furniture, ticking stripes, and cognac accents.
WHY WE LOVE THIS ROOM
This room feels polished without being formal. Blue walls provide a confident backdrop for cream bedding and warm walnut, while tailored stripes, plaid, brass, and a small cognac note give the space structure and warmth.
DESIGNER NOTES
Keep the architecture crisp and the textile palette restrained. One plaid, one ticking stripe, and one warm leather or cognac accent are enough to create a tailored, layered result.
THE ROOM RECIPE
ROOM FOUR
Warm Wood Traditional
A welcoming bedroom anchored by a handsome wood bed, soft linen, olive accents, and the mellow color of a vintage rug.
WHY WE LOVE THIS ROOM
The substantial bed gives the room a sense of history, while cream walls and crisp linen keep the darker wood from feeling heavy. Olive, muted red, and quiet blue make the palette feel layered and lived-in.
DESIGNER NOTES
When the bed is visually strong, let the surrounding pieces support it. Choose lighter bedding, smaller-scale patterns, and a rug with enough warmth to connect the wood and textiles.
THE ROOM RECIPE
ROOM FIVE
Garden House Bedroom
Fresh and cheerful, with soft sage, selective floral pattern, butter yellow, and the warmth of traditional wood furniture.
WHY WE LOVE THIS ROOM
This room brings the garden indoors without becoming overly feminine. Sage and cream form the foundation, while a controlled mix of floral, check, muted pink, and butter yellow adds joyful color and personality.
DESIGNER NOTES
Choose one floral as the hero and balance it with solids and a small check. Repeat green in the bed, artwork, and one textile, then use pink and yellow only as supporting accents.
