Sigh. Can you believe we’re approaching the end of summer? I sure can’t. It’s zipped by in a blink, and I’m doing all I can to hold on to the sunshine and warmth. My favorite season will inevitably end, but before it does, let’s pretend we’re on summer vacation for a few more days. And what better place to do it than reclining in bed.

Take off your shoes, fluff up the pillow and let your eyes soak up these 17 soothing bedscapes. When you awake from your daydream, let us know in the Comments which image is your favorite.

Design Loves Detail

1. Tropical treat. Dramatic wallpaper immediately transports you to a tropical location lavished in luxury. You’d never guess this is actually a guest bedroom in Salt Lake City. The design team at Design Loves Detail completed the vacation feel with crisp bedding, a plethora of pillows and matching gold reading lamps.

Tracy Lynn Studio

2. Sea of calm. You can almost hear the ocean waves crashing outside this San Diego bedroom designed by Tracy Lynn Studio. The color palette immediately reminds you of the sea, with its mix of blues and creams. After a nap on this bed, I look forward to walking the beach to search for shells.

H&S DÉCO

3. Modern charm. This hip, Parisian bedscape beckons for me to set down my suitcase and take a quick nap before hitting the town. Thanks, H&S Déco, for designing the ultimate resting spot.

But before my head hits the pillow, I’d better set an alarm on my phone and place it on the geometric table next to the bed. I’ll see you soon, Paris. Right after my date with this bed.

Alex Dampsey Design

4. No cellphone service needed. A live-edge headboard immediately tells me to expect no phone reception, and I’m OK with that. Instead, I’ll unplug and enjoy this room designed by Alex Dampsey. Later, I can explore the nature that Canada has to offer — after I finish breakfast in bed, of course.

5. Breath of fresh air. Soft colors and nightstands stocked with books and candles turn this San Francisco bedroom into an escape from the busy world outside. If you need me, I’ll be here finishing a page-turner.

Graystone Custom Builders, Inc.

6. Relaxation in a box. The bed frames everything that’s serene about this room: the cool blue bedding, the beach-palette painting and the rays of summer sunshine. Graystone Custom Builders knew how to bring a beachy California vibe to a room.

7. Desert oasis. Sure, moose don’t live in the desert, but this is a daydream so it’s fine. Besides, this bedroom exists in Moscow, a place not known for its desert climate. Instead, let’s focus on the swath of colorful pillows ready for reclining and the cute cactus accents.

The Scientist Pte Ltd

8. Pretty with a touch of pink. Nothing says vacation like tropical pillows, a fresh cup of tea and trendy flamingo art. (Flamingos are having a design moment, if you hadn’t heard.) It would be impossible to wake up in this room designed by The Scientist and not feel just a little more relaxed.

The Home

9. Shabby Chic rest. A casual, country style adds a layer of comfort to your vacation adventures. Nothing beats your own bed, but reclaimed wood and a tussled throw come pretty close.

10. Party, party, party. The moment you enter this room, you feel energized to put on your swimsuit and go jump in the pool. After all the fun in the sun, you can return to this vibrant space designed by Color Concept Theory and invite your friends over for a game of cards or a glass of wine. When the room says party, you have to obey.

11. Attic adventures. Tuck yourself away in the attic with a good book and do nothing but relax for days. Quintana Partners also added a giant floor pillow next to the window in case you want to read by sunlight instead of the adjustable lamp.

12. Boho bliss. No headboard? No problem when you have a stack of fluffy pillows and an ocean view, or as close as you can get to an ocean view in Manhattan. Designer Angela Ferlita Hugo of Homepolish even gave us additional lumbar support through a playful pillow that brings a little color to the otherwise-white bed.

Austin Bean Design Studio

13. Hotel glitz. Does it feel like we’re stepping into a posh hotel? Well, it should. This jungle wallpaper has graced the walls of locations such as the Beverly Hills Hotel and celebrity homes. But this room reminds us that we can achieve celebrity status no matter where we live, even Tulsa, Oklahoma. So put up your feet and soak in the glam space designed by Austin Bean Design Studio.

14. Day at the beach. A flock of birds soars overhead as you end a day at the beach. This space redesigned by Rincon Rd is an ideal place to soothe your sunburn with a little aloe vera and then search online to find the best spot for dinner. Maybe somewhere along the water to take in the Santa Barbara views? Yes, please.

Echelon Custom Homes

15. Nautical notions. Bright blues and images of sea turtles tell us we’ve made it to our beachy retreat. Echelon Custom Homes didn’t shy away from reminding us that we’re staying in a beach town. We’re on vacation, so that’s exactly what we want. But right now, the water’s calling. Let’s head out for some boating or even some dolphin watching.

Lucy and Company

16. Vintage vibes. This bedroom designed by Lucy and Company makes us feel right at home. It has a curated bookshelf of knickknacks and some well-loved furniture. It’s exactly the type of space where we can let our hair down and tell stories among friends.

Find fresh bedding

17. Living decor. Our landscape comes inside as we travel to Australia in this room by Langford Jones Homes. As we tilt open the louver windows, a soft summer breeze floats in, jostling the plant leaves and bringing freshness to the space. Ahh, summer.

Your turn: Our summer daydreaming has come to an end, but please tell us which room was your favorite and why in the Comments.

Nos. 2 and 12 win the prize! No 12 invites you to leave your shoes at the door and plop on the bed for nap! No. 2 beach waves and calm seas relax and calm the soul as soon as you enter.

#8 It looks so calm and peaceful. I'm not a flamenco fan so I would leave that out, otherwise the room is perfection. Sigh, what a sweet sleep I would enjoy!!

All are great - love 7 and 16 the best with a close follow by 16. Not much makes me want to come back from a vacation, however your bedroom should be a retreat and all of these really do the trick.
