One of the hallmarks of PaperCity in digital, and particularly in the print magazine, is the reverence for beautiful interiors. Those magnificent rooms, featured in stunning photographs and lyrical writing, became ever more important in 2020 as COVID-19 kept us at home and we began examining our surroundings.

Though 2020 was a miserable year in so many ways, PaperCity home design editor Rebecca Sherman brightened our days with her discoveries and reporting on those splendid living environments.

In this year-end period of thoughtful reflection, we revisit some of the stunning and inspiring interiors featured in PaperCity digital throughout the past year. In this particular piece, we are focusing on sumptuous bedrooms.

Several of those, we selected come from the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas. Others were winners in the PaperCity Design Awards 2020. And others originated in feature stories in PaperCity’s print magazine, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. We also salute remarkable bedrooms and their seating areas created by Texas interior designers and we sneaked in one or two that were particularly compelling from real estate articles.

Among the interior designers who are included in this 2020 wrap-up are Ann Wolf, Kirsten Kelli, Philip Thomas Vanderford, Alvise Orsini and Judy Aldridge.
