Designing a pottery barn-inspired bedroom

A pottery barn-inspired bedroom blends the pottery barn-inspired look — relaxed + substantial, aged oak, washed linen, full-grain leather, wool, stone — with layouts and details that suit a bedroom. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

Pottery Barn-Inspired bedroom palette

Keep walls and the largest upholstery warm ivory, let tobacco oak establish the middle value and use faded navy near the floor. Cognac and iron work as smaller, harder accents; avoid turning every surface brown or every textile beige.

Color roles

Warm ivory

A softly reflective wall and upholstery base that keeps heavy wood from darkening the room.

Tobacco oak

A mid-depth brown with visible grain for one or two substantial furniture anchors.

Faded navy

A quiet grounding color for a wool rug, quilt or small group of accessories.

Cognac leather

A warm, aging surface best used on one chair or desk seat rather than a complete set.

Blackened iron

A restrained line for lighting and hardware that sharpens the soft palette.
