Cool, Calm and Collected in Cabo

Photo by Douglas Friedman

Celebrated for her boldly contrasting yet always cohesive decor, Sasha Adler brought together a beautiful collection of historic pieces for a primary bedroom in Cabo San Lucas that evokes the spirit of Mexico and is infused with peaceful luxury. The Chicago-based designer, who launched her studio in 2018 after working with Nate Berkus, enveloped the room with two-toned Venetian plaster walls divided by hand-gilded pencil trim. “It provides a subtle yet sophisticated backdrop, allowing the fantastic antiques to really shine,” she notes. Adler scoured 1stDibs for the perfect pieces to complement the silk velvet bed she designed, with its undulating wave headboard, lighting on a gilded-iron gondola-style bench and a bedside Italian urn lamp from the 1830s. And as a sly counterpoint to the ornate lighting fixture in the Michael Eastman photograph that dominates the room, Adler wittily added a perfectly scaled Murano-glass André Arbus chandelier, also a 1stDibs find.
