OK so I could keep a lot of the same decorations in our new bedroom and most likely I will. But it’s time to step it up just a notch. As I mentioned, I’m not a fan of the uber popular coastal look going around. I mean, it’s GORGEOUS but it’s just not my style. Pretty sure I will forever be a fan of reds, oranges, browns and greens. I love dark woods. I love for it to feel WARM, COZY and INVITING.
So given that, here are my Top 10 Dream Bedrooms.
#10 What I love about this? DARK. I love the feeling that I’m sleeping in a library with all of that dark wood. Just wrap me up and put me to bed! Not a fan of the lamps, rug or picture necessarily. Just like that it’s so dark.
#9 I don’t think I could handle such light walls, furniture AND carpet but I love all the green pillows and love the interesting light and bench.
#8 Blue is not usually my thing but I do love all the shimmer. The chandelier is outstanding and I just like the overall chic look.
#7 I don’t love everything about this room (please cover those chairs!) but I do love the mirror, I love the mixture of red, orange and brown. I like the black and white artwork. The lighting just makes it feel cozy.
#6 These white walls usually would be a turn off but I think the tile is interesting. Again, I love the red, orange and brown. I particularly like that the headboard and bed are both dark, similar to ours.
#5 I love the orangey/peachy colors in this room. I think this is less the cozy feel but still a nice, bright room I would be happy to walk into.
#4 OK, now we’re getting to my favorites. I love, love, love the green floor to ceiling curtains. I Love the shimmery rug and art. I love the dark furniture and dark floors. I’m surprised I love it given the walls are ivory.
#3 I just LOVE this room. Again, floor to ceiling curtains. We have the brown and orange with some great pattern in the blanket. I love the rug. Love the geometric design in the lamp and side table.
#2 Now, this is just a pipe dream but this room was built as a college thesis and I am just IN LOVE with all the cozy lighting and the green on the bed and curtains. Love the mirror on the bottom of the bed. Love all the wood accents. This is so not happening but I love it.
#1 And this might surprise you, but this was my favorite out of the bunch. It’s not perfect but there’s a lot to love. I love the floor to ceiling green curtains (those are green right?). I love the dark furniture. I love the pattern in the rug. I love the mirror to the left. I love the black and white photography. I am very surprised I like the light blue walls and blue accents in the pillows. I’m not a huge fan of the bed and chest but overall, I think this room evokes the right mix of modern, traditional, light and dark, cozy, livable space.
I think I’m going to pull some of my favorite things from all of these to make our new master bedroom a cozy retreat. I think we’re really going to need a nice place to escape to in the coming years!
Which of these are your favorites?

Aren’t they great? I’m such a sucker for b&w photography

Yep! That was a rate my space one! I would love to get you over to our house when it’s done and help me figure the room out! I love your style!
Cool list! I like #9 the best. I agree with you about the walls though, too light, but I love the green!

Oooooh I LOVE this list! #3 is definitely my favorite, but #9 is close behind it – I love the simplicity!
I love #1 too but #3 looks to most “Amy” to me. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

I actually went back and forth between those two 🙂 I think I need some type of shimmer in #3 to kick it up to #1.
So pretty! #4 and #9 are my favorites! I feel well-rested just looking at all those beautiful bedrooms!
Last one is def my favorite, although I tend to go for a more girly look than any of these pictures, really. More lace for me! 😀

I am with you on the color scheme. Green is my favorite color. I think #10 is my favorite, because it’s more funky. Have fun decorating!
