Stickybeak of the Week: Glamorous Bedroom With a Welcoming Vibe
It may look like it's straight out of a five-star hotel, but this elegant master bedroom is designed for parents, kids and dogs alike
This master bedroom had a ’90s dusty rose, fusty floral theme. Knowing her clients were big travellers who appreciated a relaxing hotel suite feel, interior designer Susan Glick came up with a modernised luxe design. While the room serves as a serene getaway for these parents of three, it’s not just for them. Glick also designed it as a spot where the whole family can flop down together to catch up and watch TV.
Glick played with a range of iridescence. “There’s a lot of nice contrast between matte and shine,” she says.
While the wall-to-wall carpeting and velvet bed are soft and subdued, the crushed mica wallpaper on the ceiling and glass bubble chandelier add the right dose of glitz. Close to the ceiling, polished nickel rods capped with glass finials play off the chandelier.

Velvet, metallic beads, flokati and iridescent fabrics add a careful dose of glamour to the bed.
Mock-croc fabric in soft, neutral taupe adds luxurious texture without going over the top. Framed sea urchin shells and a shaggy throw pillow bring in touches of amethyst, while the curtains throw a geometric print into the mix. “Everything casts a little toward amethyst,” Glick says.
STYLING NOTE: You may have noticed that some gorgeous silver d’Orsay Manolo Blahnik shoes made their way around the room during the photo shoot. That’s because they are extra special, as decreed by Carrie Bradshaw in the “A Woman’s Right to Shoes” episode of Sex and the City.

Here’s what’s sneaky about this elegant room: the family of five has plenty of space in which to lounge together and watch TV on the chaise longue, the bed and the armchair. The bedside tables offer stealth storage, including two drawers to help keep them free of clutter, and pullout trays serve as spots for books and drinks for whoever is lounging on the chaise and the armchair.
Glick came up with a palette in soothing grey and taupe neutral hues, then accentuated them with platinum and amethyst touches. Sticking to muted tones meant she could add a range of luxe textures, including raised croc-print velvet, metallic beads and nailheads, flokati pillows, crushed mica wallpaper and an antiqued mirror.
