With a refreshing color palette and sharp details, T. Keller Donovan, a designer based in New York and Miami Beach, transformed this master suite into a cool, comfortable retreat.

• Bold scale. "A smaller-scale toile would look country, while this looks more sophisticated and dramatic," says Donovan.

• The settee. It reiterates the main fabric and also serves as a bench for pillows, blankets, or clothes.

• Plenty of white. On the walls, headboard, linens, lamps, mirror, and even prints framed with wide white mats in simple white frames, it lessens the intensity of the intricate toile pattern.

Bedroom Basics: Bedside tables should have closed drawers and doors. Everyone has clutter next to the bed, so invest in a good nightstand to store these items neatly.
