SIMPLE PLEASURES

This poolside guest suite is located in an old outbuilding close to a renovated holiday home in Sóller, Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain. It features a sculptural built-in bed—topped with a tumble of cushions in a plethora of natural textiles—as well as a delightfully rustic and barefoot-friendly flooring finish that was handmade by laying small river pebbles in concrete.

Decorative touches are essential in simple bedrooms, but shouldn’t overwhelm or clutter the space. The metal light fitting used in this bedroom is of precisely the right scale, as are the vases by Mallorcan ceramicist Dora Good on the built-in shelf behind the bed.
