Shades of Gray

"This bed is all about texture," says Woods. "The charcoal blanket has a luscious loose weave that you want to just fall into. The muted colors lend a bit of masculinity, but the interplay of textures softens the look."

Woods added the bolster pillow to pick up the charcoal color of the blanket and the leaf detailing on the pillow cases. "I married the different shades of gray, and the organic pattern is not too feminine," she says.

This is the only look without a bedskirt, with all of the blankets, sheets, and coverlets tucked in. "Tucking in the linens creates a cleaner, finished look and is another way to emphasize the headboard," explains the designer. "It also shows off the nailhead trim."
