Commanding Retreat

Sanctuary of Strength, Part II: A Commanding Retreat in White Marble and Power


Last week, I invited you inside the Sanctuary of Strength — a Daddy Dom-inspired master bedroom designed to honor control, comfort, and quiet dominance. That space was moody, commanding, and wrapped in rich black tones and sultry details — a clear visual manifestation of the man who owns it.

But a true sanctuary extends beyond the bed.

This week, I’m taking you deeper into the suite to experience the sitting area and private bath — two spaces that shift the mood without softening the power. This is where he unwinds in full confidence. Where he reflects, rejuvenates, and remains in control. And once again, Erfe Designs delivered in every way that mattered.





The Pharaoh Lives Here: A Sitting Area Designed to Reign

Walking into the suite’s adjacent lounge, the shift is immediate — but intentional. Where the bedroom seduced you in black, this space commands in white. This is a throne room cloaked in clarity and opulence.

At its heart is the Pharaoh Living Room Set, proudly sponsored by Erfe Designs. Every piece is finished in layered whites and neutral tones that speak of purity without ever feeling delicate. These aren’t soft furnishings. They’re structured. Sculptural. Built to support power, not cushion it.



The set sits directly beneath a jaw-dropping awe-inspiring chandelier that hangs like a crown from a custom-designed coffered ceiling. This detail wasn’t just about luxury — it was about hierarchy. When he enters this space, you feel it. Eyes rise. Bodies still. The chandelier doesn’t ask for attention — it demands it.

We continued using the Rich Modern Curtains from last week’s Sanctuary post — those deep, grounding panels remain, giving this space a thread of continuity and control.


Marble Mastery: Flooring Fit for a King

The original wood floors used in the main bedroom were replaced with a polished marble flooring, sourced directly from the Erfe Design showroom. This material change was more than cosmetic. It’s symbolic. Where the bedroom is grounding, the sitting area is elevating. The light dances differently here, reflected off every vein and tile.

Although the marble wasn’t sponsored, it was selected with reverence — and it serves the suite beautifully, balancing the contrast between white and shadow.



And, of course, nearly every piece in this space is PBR or Blinn Phong textured, giving this room the tangible, cinematic quality worthy of a sovereign.


The Medusa Bathroom: Where Nature Bows to Stone

Just off the sitting area is the Medusa Bathroom, another offering from Erfe Designs, and it is nothing short of breathtaking. Black returns here — but this time, it’s polished concrete. Heavy. Cool. Purposeful.



The Medusa’s strength lies in its contrast. It feels both organic and divine. Warm, outdoor elements — lush greenery, soothing cottons, stone planters, and natural light — are intentionally placed to disrupt the snake skin embossed hard materials. It’s a reminder that even the most dominant forces take time to be still. To breathe. To let the world happen around them without ever surrendering control.



Touches of marble continue here, and the concrete finishes blend seamlessly with the masculine energy that defines this entire suite. The Medusa isn't just a bathroom — it's a ritual chamber. IYKYK!


A Space to Worship the Moment

In these rooms, the design doesn’t coddle — it supports. It mirrors the energy of a man who is intentional, assertive, and quietly unshakeable. As a woman — and as a designer whose submissive nature is not a limitation but a gift — I understood the assignment deeply.




This isn’t just luxury. This is honor in spatial form.
