The green spread is complemented by the colorful accents of the striped pillows and bedskirt. The black ultrasuede headboard, provided by the Great Couch Company in Raleigh, sets off the bed linens with dramatic flair. On either side of the bed, a pair of contemporary lamps stand sentinel on cherry bedside tables made by Vermont Precision Woodworks.
A few steps up from the sleeping area, one enters the elevated platform that serves as a teen’s study. “I wanted to create a sense of fun in the loft area,” Ferguson says, “a kind of space where you would want to hang out with friends.” To achieve that goal, she consulted with her nephews to get ideas. “I needed to select furnishings that would be appropriate for a teenage boy, yet still be versatile enough for guests,” she says. “I had in mind creating a room for a teenager who would soon be going off to college.” The simple contemporary desk of wood with black trim is accompanied by a wood and steel chair. A black study lamp and desk accessories add extra function and appeal.
A black shelf accented by natural baskets provides storage for the study space, and an indoor standing fountain provides a restful water feature for the room. “It’s definitely something different,” Ferguson admits, “but I thought it was a unique and fun piece for a teenage room.”
The bathroom’s neutral palette is

A

shade carries out the color scheme and further anchors the room. “There is
not much natural light in the bedroom,” explains Ferguson, “so I wanted to
be creative and add some additional lighting to help liven up the look.” A
three-level whiteshaded lamp from Crate & Barrel adds a further bold and
contemporary touch to the room’s lighting scheme, while the classic black
leather chair provides a comfortable place to recline and read or listen
to music. 
The
tan checkerboard pattern of the rug from Masland stands out against the
dark wooden floors; its color ties in with the “Camelback” shade of paint
in the suite. The vivid graphic design of the artwork adjacent to the desk
adds a colorful note to the study space. “It was a find at IKEA in
Washington, DC,” Ferguson says. “I thought it was perfect for the room,
but it was the only one in stock, so I had them take it off the wall for
me to use!”
