I kept coming back to cranberry.
When I first started working on the Fig House, I thought I was going to take the palette in a much earthier direction.
But the longer I spent in the house, the more I kept feeling pulled toward blush and deep cranberry tones.
I couldn't really explain why. They just felt right here.
So I trusted it.
In this bedroom, I kept most of the room quiet and neutral and let that deep cranberry show up in just a few places. A patterned pillow. A layer across the bed. Just enough to give the room some depth without taking away from how soft I wanted it to feel.
Later, the homeowner told me the existing wall color actually had blush undertones.
Suddenly my obsession with those colors made a little more sense.
That's one of the things I love about working with a home instead of trying to force an idea onto it.
Sometimes I know exactly why I'm making a decision.
And sometimes something just keeps pulling me in a certain direction until the reason reveals itself later.
I also chose not to put art over the bed.
There was already a large woven piece on the opposite wall, paired with a tree and soft linen at the window. Adding another large piece over the headboard would have given the room another focal point it didn't really need.
Sometimes a wall can simply be a wall lol.
