In the Bedroom

Bedrooms by Brynne

Monday morning, 7 a.m. You roll out of bed, strip down to your skivvies, press play, and dance.

By 8, you’ll be all professional, but right now, the bedroom is your sanctuary.

What goes on in your boudoir is your business. And, well, the business of Brynne Rinderknecht, a set designer for Playboy who recently launched interior design company Bedrooms by Brynne.

Rinderknecht considers the bedroom a stage where comfort and sex appeal are crucial (especially for those of us who haven’t yet earned our ears) and believes that the space should reflect things that inspire you (an Anäis Nin novel, an exotic trip to Lamu, or a smooth scotch).

With charm, creativity, and unnerving innovation, Rinderknecht combines salvaged pieces from warehouses and flea markets with what you already have. (Once she used old butcher hooks to make a chandelier.)

She just asks that you keep an open mind and let go of your inhibitions.

Now where have you heard that before?
