Most of us spend the majority of our time and money perfecting the look and feel of our living rooms, and then fail to offer the same attention to the space where we spend more than 1/4 of our lives: our bedrooms. Granted we’re unconscious for many of those hours, but it’s hard to overestimate the impact that good design can have on our mood and thus, ultimately, the quality of our rest. Today, Adam Charlap, co-founder of the bi-coastal architecture and interiors firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero, shares the ten objects you’d find in his fantasy bedroom, from midcentury lighting to a set of faux bois sheets his grandparents slept in that are still on the market today.

1. LP15 Tromba sconce

“I’m kind of obsessed with this sconce as I think it’s extremely beautiful, very functional, hard to place (in terms of when it’s from), and a little bit surreal. Luigi Caccia Dominioni, who designed it for Azucena in 1964, is one of my favorite architects.”

2. Malla tray

“I love the accessories and housewares brand Magnetic Midnight. The materiality of this tray made from woven Iraca palm leaves ($385) is so pleasing, and I think having a tray at your bedside is really nice to catch and contain all the random stuff that winds up there.”

3. Barovier & Toso wall mirror

“These classic 1940s Murano glass mirrors by Barovier & Toso ($3,800) are really beautiful on top of a dresser. I love the way the frame catches light from a lamp or a window — it’s almost liquid, or like candy.”

4. Nepal throw

“Chiarastella Cattana makes these cashmere blankets ($1,465) in the Dolomites, and they’re heavy, yet fine. They also look very tidy when put at the foot of a bed, or when spread out.”

5. Flower table lamp

“My office is obsessed with this 1930s chrome table lamp. I think someone just needs to get it already, and put it on a dresser or a nightstand!”

6. A Nastro Duo carafe set

“I love Yali’s Murano glass objects, and this carafe set ($503) is so light and elegant.”

7. Boise de Moiré bedlinens

“My grandparents had these D. Porthault woodgrain sheets ($305-3,500), and I’m very nostalgic for them. They can skew midcentury or Belle Époque. They’re delightful, while still looking a bit serious.”

8. Art Deco walnut nightstands

“I’ve been sourcing this kind of Art Deco nightstand for a lot of projects lately, and find that they’re generally a really great scale and have the perfect amount of open and closed compartments for bedside needs.”

9. Aida bed frame

“I’m really into this steel bed that Paolo Piva designed for B&B Italia in the 1980s. I just think it’s cinematic, sculptural, and incredibly cool.”

10. Natural Shag rug in lime

“Gregory Parkinson is a brilliant textile designer, and his rugs — like this hand-knotted wool rug in a darkened shade of lime for Christopher Farr — are made in the most vivid and unusual colors. They’re super soft and perfect for a bedroom.”
