eCustomFinishes Bedroom #3 has my vote as best of the bunch. the pine ceilings and bunkbeds remind of a ski house.... a VERY nice ski house. Congrats to all those who are listed in as best of the year!

denton14 eCustomFinishes, I think you meant picture 4 was your favourite? Doesn't matter, I knew which one you were talking about anyway!

All these are absolutely gorgeous, but I think rooms 1 and 3 are my favourites because they both look light and airy, I loved the soft colours in the rooms, and I thought the bedding looked super comfortable haha!

simps214 Beautiful bedrooms! I like that comfort was King in the popular bedrooms last year instead of striking but possibly uncomfortable "statement" beds.

I also like all the light fixtures! If only I was glamorous enough for a large one directly over my bed but alas Final Destination has scarred me :'(

A. Peltier Interiors That room with the bunk beds is amazing! I would love to have a cottage one day and create a space like that. hen I can throw all of my kids and their friends in there for a giant sleep over. So much fun!

schweetlife Bedroom 2 is my favorite. I love crown molding and the brown walls are warm and welcoming without making the room too dark. Bedroom #6 is my second favorite but I don't like some of the design pieces.

gillianne What I see in most of these rooms is a restful neutral background to balance splashes of color. There's very little pattern, usually a rug, curtains, or pillows--rarely all 3. These spaces have plenty of eye candy in contrasting woods and metals and textures and architectural details. They're fresh and classic at the same time, and most won't date quickly. Barring an easily replaced color (e.g., orange) or pattern (e.g., Moroccan graphics), they're more timeless than "on trend." I'd say Houzz readers got it right. :)

highuintas Someone could tell me the color of the walls of room number 8? Thanks!

peterjh1964 All these bedrooms look staged not lived in. I think this article should be titled: How To Stage The Bedroom For The Sale Of Your House.

oldloghouse Yuck. What's with all the brown?

Michael #4. Santa Barbara bunkhouse is the only one that's really unique and interesting. The rest are pretty run of the mill and boring to me.

Paul D'Amico - Period Design As a designer I find bedrooms like dining rooms are a photo problem. The bedroom will in most cases look like a hotel room and a dining room is just about the table and chairs. I find the best photos are of environments that include more than just the bed or table and chairs. Henceforth, a bedroom including an open door to the bathroom, or dressing or something - as long as its not just an immaculate bed with cushions neatly positioned just like a hotel room.

bubsy The bunkbeds are great, but thank goodness I don't have to make up all those beds!! How the heck do you get the sheets all tucked in nicely?

cender Ohhh Bubsy, you are so right about the bunk beds. In 2002 I designed and built a ski house in Colorado with a bunk room. Our kids were in college in Denver and the bunk room was always full. The design was 2 double size bunks on the bottom and 2 twins on top. 4 drawers under the bottom bunks and a cubby ladder going up the middle. Each bunk had a bulkhead light and a little shelf for water and a book (or whatever). All custom built from rustic knotty alder. Very beautiful, and really cozy to sleep in. But the biggest pain to change the sheets and make up the bed. As much as I loved the idea and look of the bunks, I will never do this design again. I am now 4 houses past the "ski house", and am designing a smaller more efficient home near the beach in South Carolina. I always build green with Leed Certification. By efficient, I mean how the space is utilized. I am putting a Murphy wall bed/library system in the office. So the 3 bedroom house has both an office for my husband and a guest room for the kids, who also surf. We will see how this one shakes out. Cheers!

Lauren Elyse Hmmm, would have loved to see a more non traditional bedroom featured here. There was one I think I saved in an idea book that a woman designer put together with an old iron bed frame, & just that 'ohhh, I don't know' touch that made it so personal & amazing

Paul D'Amico - Period Design You don't mean like this one? its by a British artist called Tracey Emin and its titled 'To Meet My Past' its owned by the Saatchi Gallery in London.

neluki All these bedrooms are so sterile and cold, except for the last one.

sfnest You could make the bunk beds neat by using just fitted bottom sheets and a duvet folded at the end of each bed - no top sheets. Instead of washing the top sheets, you wash the duvet covers. Simple, no top sheets looking unkempt.

cender Dear sfnest, try putting that fitted sheet on that top bunk, close to the ceiling BEFORE you spend the money on this amazing custom bunk.

bubsy Just had an AHAH moment about those bunks--instead of making up the beds, either have everyone who sleeps in it, make it themselves, or better yet--CLOSE THE CURTAINS!!!!!

jkristamagee I love this idea book! So many different looks. Just what like to see. As for them being staged.... I wouldn't let anyone take a picture of my home not clean .... I do not think they looked staged at all- just looks like someone took the time to clean up or maybe they are very organized and wake before needed to put away all that is pulled out before leaving. Some people do take the extra time to put Away right away

sjmom There were a few I liked; the box bay windows in #7&8 and the oval window and ceiling in #10, All were very nice.

JAUREGUI Architecture Interiors Construction Thank you for all the wonderful compliments about our bunk beds! This beautiful home was actually built near Lake Conroe in Texas (near Houston), though. It was made for all those family and friend sleep-overs! Fun!

Flo Love the wall color in picture number three (the San Francisco bedroom). Who manufactures it and what is its name?

LaFatima Jones Number 6!!! Glam all day
