1 Bedroom Photo
A bedroom finished in Wheatberry rewards the time you spend in it. The color is deep enough to feel intentional and luxurious, but not so saturated that it becomes visually tiring over time — it strikes the perfect balance for a space meant for both deep sleep and the slow, reflective hours before it.
