" Jane Margolies: When I see you on HGTV, you&amp;#039;re so full of energy. Do you just bound out of bed in the morning? Erinn Valencich: Actually I hit snooze, roll over, and sleep for another half-hour. My bed is so comfortable! And beautiful. It&amp;#039;s one of three beds in your furniture collection. What inspired the design? Morocco was one influence. I wanted a sculptural headboard that would feel modern and elegant. The antiqued mirror and silver leaf give it the look of oyster shell. I&amp;#039;m sick of fully upholstered headboards. It is padded, though. Is that for a softer look? For comfort sitting up in bed? An upholstered headboard just adds a nice softness. The bedroom has a lot of hard surfaces \u2014 nightstands, armoires. There aren&amp;#039;t a ton of soft goods. What came first here, the bed or the wallpaper? The wallpaper. I used it on a job a few years ago and loved it. There were a few rolls left but not enough for all four walls, and the colorway had been discontinued so I couldn&amp;#039;t buy more. So I painted two walls and used the paper on the other two.  The colors are so tranquil \u2014 seafoamy blue-green, ivory, that soft metallic gold. Yet I know you&amp;#039;re not color-shy. I like a softer bedroom, even with dark colors. My last bedroom was deep purple, lavender, and gray. This room has lots of light, so I played off that. That gorgeous wavy stripe on the pillow \u2014 that has slightly more intense versions of the wallpaper colors. I&amp;#039;m obsessed with that fabric. I&amp;#039;ve tried to get clients to use it for years. It&amp;#039;s from Old World Weavers and is extremely expensive, but I only needed a small amount. There&amp;#039;s a shimmery quality to it, and also to the wallpaper, the bed, the lamps... The matte gold on those lamps is so pretty. Isn&amp;#039;t mixing silver and gold tricky? Gold and silver are totally fine together. I wouldn&amp;#039;t put a gold faucet in a bathroom that has a lot of silver door handles. But otherwise I don&amp;#039;t think it matters. We wear black and navy today, and that used to be a no-no.  The duvet adds taupe to your color scheme. Tell me about your bedding. The duvet is from Calvin Klein. I&amp;#039;ve had it for years. The sheets are Macy&amp;#039;s Hotel Collection, their highest-end line. They wash up really soft. It&amp;#039;s so disappointing to get into a bed with sand papery sheets. I&amp;#039;m renting an apartment in Paris for three weeks, and I&amp;#039;m taking my sheets with me! Make the Bed... Astra bed and Hope side table: erinnvmaison.com.
