The most popular bedrooms around are inclined to be beige or gray and conventional, so I know the way-out bedrooms here aren’t going to be everyone’s personal cup of tea. But that’s the interesting part: peeking into the rooms of people who have taken their own style to the most edge and created rooms that are truly one of a kind. Everyone can purchase a plantation-style bed along with a elegant beige bedspread, but how many people can successfully incorporate graffiti, sexy pink or Abraham Lincoln to our decoration?

This is my favourite sort of design voyeurism.

What is not going on in this area? There are conventional silk drapes, a zebra rug, a formal ottoman and vivid pink background. It could be a bold eclectic beauty without the mural, but include that and it is a work of art. It is so crazy and mixed up it works.

It is one thing to chose lime green and hot pink because your colours, but it is a whole other level to use them in layers of busy patterns and bright, bold pictures.

This can be over-the-top femininity and glamour (I think of Lana Turner or Liz Taylor when I see peacock) combined with an eclectic mixture of traditional pieces. Oh, and then there is that crystal bed from the planet Krypton.

When my son was obsessed with pirates, he got a Playmobil pirate island. The small boy whose area this is got a ship embedded in the wall along with his own gangplank. Not bad.

This little girl is either going to grow up to become pageant Lady, or she is going to rebel and become a punk rock biker.

Another dream children’ bedroom but using a clean, contemporary look and a few real staying power. An adult could be happy sleeping under this tree.

See? The adults that reside here are presumably happy sleeping under a tree. I love this mattress.

This bedroom itself is all Zen minimalism. But the walls (or absence thereof) are fairly dramatic.

Midcentury modern meets African motifs, with just a small amount of dungeon chic thrown in for good measure.

I have truly never seen anything like this, and I don’t have any design terms to describe it. The shapes in the ceiling and wall remind me dividing. Saturated biological contemporary?
