Blanketed in White

For the first look, Woods wanted something soft and feminine, so she chose a light palette and incorporated ruffles in the bedding. "When working with white, I tend to layer different shades," she says. "This gives the room dimension and helps keep it interesting." The lavender ikat pillow's rectangular shape and colorful pattern contrast with the white palette. "I always like when beds have punctuation -- this pillow is the exclamation point on the bed," says the designer.
