"When New York interior designer Nancy Pearson decorated this Hamptons bedroom, she began with the key piece in any sleeping quarters: the bed. &amp;quot;A fussy bed won&amp;#039;t work in a beach house,&amp;quot; she says. So she chose a spare platform design with caned headboard panels and &amp;quot;a modernized pan-Asian look.&amp;quot; Next Pearson found a vivid cotton fabric in seascape hues-sky blue, lemon yellow, acid green-which she used on a tufted ottoman and oversized pillows for the bed. &amp;quot;That fabric set the tone for the room,&amp;quot; she says, &amp;quot;including the chartreuse paint, which really makes the walls pop.&amp;quot; She fleshed out the scheme with furnishings from different eras, including an ornate carved-wood Eastlake mirror and rattan chairs that mimic the headboard&amp;#039;s woven motif.  Nancy Pearson&amp;#039;s Tips Wake it up: I love antiques but dislike rooms that look too serious. Enliven a traditional piece by covering it in a whimsical, contemporary fabric, as I did with this turned-leg ottoman. Open your eyes: Look for inspiration everywhere. I might be flipping through a magazine and see-in the background of a picture-a beautiful sunset that moves me. I&amp;#039;ll then take the orange from that sunset and match it with a paint or fabric. Add a focal point: Every room should have one standout element that catches the eye and anchors the space, like the antique mirror does here.
