Dreamy bedrooms for all tastes

I'm not gonna lie. I'm no early bird. At my most shameful I wake up at 11 AM and don't shut my laptop until 1 AM. While I still easily put in an 8 hour day, I still feel guilty sleeping so late. Enough of my venting - long story short, I love a well designed bedroom. Here are a handful that caught my eye.

I don't remember where this photo is from but isn't it beautiful! I love mix and match bedding

This modern isn't usually my taste - but this room is so clean and spotless I think I'd have no problem resting in it!

I really like the eclectic look. You can mix patterns providing they share a palette.

So luxurious but not over the top

What do you think of this wallpaper? The headboard and bedskirt match. Could you live with it? I like the bedroom arrangement but I'd have to REAAAAALLLLYYY love the pattern.

An industrial and modern bedroom. If I remember correctly - this is actually from a boat house!

A little eye candy to brighten up your Monday

Mondays...blah. Especially when it's getting so cold out! It makes it so tough for me to crawl out from under the covers when I'm toasty warm. Hopefully these chic homes with a nod to the traditional can help brighten it up a little?

The beam above the window adds a nice rustic touch without being too "look how rustic I am."

Love the nooks for spices by the oven

Cappuccino maker!

I like the look of raw linen and canvas like they've used on the bar stools

This kitchen has such a 17th century Dutch air to it - even without the Vermeer

The rooms below are from another house -

A home office with gobs of natural light! Looks nice and tucked away.


Love the retro classic chair. I also like that this room, though it has modern retro elements is still most obviously lived in. Nothing is too precious. Evidence of human, and canine, life can be seen on the shelves, the coat rack, etc.


In this room I like the large prints on every wall, and of course, the lounge. I'm a sucker for a reading nook!
