10 Fabulously Fanciful Bedrooms
Embark on a trip to sleeping spaces that dare to dream, far from the shores of traditional
The most popular bedrooms on Houzz tend to be beige or gray and traditional, so I understand that the way-out bedrooms here aren't going to be everyone's personal cup of tea. But that's the fun part: peeking into the rooms of people who have taken their personal style to the very edge and created rooms that are truly one of a kind. Anyone can buy a plantation-style bed and a tasteful beige bedspread, but how many of us can successfully incorporate graffiti, hot pink or Abraham Lincoln into our decor?
This is my favorite kind of design voyeurism.

What isn't going on in this room? There are traditional silk drapes, a zebra rug, a formal ottoman and bright pink wallpaper. It would be a daring eclectic beauty even without the graffiti mural, but add that and it's a work of art. It's so crazy and mixed up that it works.
It's one thing to chose lime green and hot pink as your colors, but it's a whole other level to use them in layers of busy patterns and bright, bold images.
This is over-the-top femininity and glamour (I think of Lana Turner or Liz Taylor when I see that peacock) combined with an eclectic mix of traditional pieces. Oh, and then there's that acrylic crystal bed from the planet Krypton.
When my son was obsessed with pirates, he got a Playmobil pirate island. The little boy whose room this is got a ship embedded in the wall and his own gangplank. Not bad.
This little girl is either going to grow up to be pageant princess, or she's going to rebel and become a punk rock biker.
Another fantasy kids' bedroom but with a clean, modern look and some real staying power. Even an adult could be happy sleeping under this tree.
See? The adults who live here are presumably happy sleeping under a tree. I love this bed.
This bedroom itself is all Zen minimalism. But the walls (or lack thereof) are pretty dramatic.
I have truly never seen anything like this, and I have no design terms to explain it. The shapes in the ceiling and wall remind me of cells splitting. Saturated biological modern?
