021610_newparis.jpgIf you're looking for a solution on how to fit a bed, shelves, a small couch, and a desk all in one room, take a look at this set up: Putting the couch at the foot of the bed (especially one with high back like this antique one) offers a point of separation between the sleeping and living areas.

We love the mix of modern with antiques: by keeping the bedding simple and white (not to mention the bleached floors and white walls), the focus is all on the beautiful lines of the gold settee and the round drum table and chair. The biggest compromise that we can see is putting the nightstand right up against the bookcase and sacrificing easy access to that section of shelves.
