We’ve thought recently which should be the most comfortable room in the entire home and the answer we found is: the bedroom. Why? Because bedroom is the place where every day our mind and body recover, contributing to a better health during our lifetime, a place to keep books and a lamp to set the mood. That’s why, there’s no wonder that choosing a comfy bed along with soft linen goes hand in hand with creating the right ambient which induce relaxation and rest.

A bedroom should have enough storage to keep your clothes sorted and enough personality to keep you inspired. Designing your retreat is very individual and your personal style dictates how it should look like such a place. Whether you like elegant, traditional style, cozy, down-to-earth-country one, artful, bohemian interiors, vintage ones or you prefer a clean, minimalist style, nowadays you can accomplish any wish you have in terms of bedroom interior design. Here are some bedroom designs that help you find what style is working for you.

An open, airy bedroom that mixes antique style with gorgeous architectural details is all about balance. Few accessories, a beautiful custom designed bed perfect for sleep, an overdyed floral rug that add texture to the scheme, white paneled walls, intrincate antique chandelier and a wonderful wrought-iron balcony create a traditional chic look.

Combining textures and juxtaposing them cleverly can transform a simple space into a one-of-a-kind luxurious bedroom. Clean lines, sheer curtains, twisted high gloss tables, furry blanket and rug, all in a cool white color scheme create a contemporary look that makes the bed with black leather headboard and art painting pop against  the wall and add a sexy masculine feel. Pastels touches soften the dramatic black and white combination and together with the beauty of the light fixture that seems to capture the essence of this dreamy bedroom, set up a space of a versatile and elegant style.

A warm color scheme with bold splashes and wood furniture create a sophisticated feminine look in a modern bohemian bedroom. Art, layered fabrics, shoes on display, chandelier, which does not necessarily fit together, are strong signpost of the bohemian style, while clean lines and matching nightstand lamps are clearly modern touches.

Stylish furniture pieces with traditional look, a soothing color palette combined with a cozy reading area in the front of a fireplace embellished with stone infuse a large French country bedroom with incomparable warmth and inviting atmosphere. Everything blends in sophisticated yet unstudied harmony, highlighted by the natural light coming from the bay windows dressed in a beautiful way with mustard and light blue curtains grouped.

Minimalism doesn’t mean a lack of style or uncomfortable room. Less visual noise, clean and simple design with limited color palettes is the style’s secret. Light wood cabinetry and floor beautifully contrasting with white color scheme of walls, linen and lampshades add a contemporary feel to a modern space, creating an airy retreat with a great view. The clutter is eliminated and everything seems in its place.

A 457 m2 modern residence located in an exclusive waterfront Buenos Aires neighborhood with privileged views of sky and lagoon, that integrates two amazing pools is for sure a dream house for anyone with a passion for swimming, not only for the owner of this permanent home. Characterized by minimalist elegance, the Pool House inspires extravagant modern living, taking the client’s love for swimming to another level.

Envisioned by Vanguard Architects, the sleek retreat features an angular architecture, designed as an inverted L layout in order to accomplish the main owner’s desire of having wider perspectives at the rear of the land, to the vast lagoon. This geometry allowed as well to create a long path towards the entrance of the residence, where both pedestrian and vehicle access is possible. In front of it, there are aligned the garages, the service rooms (laundry, pantry), a study room, one bedroom, one bathroom and a barbecue area. The main entrance is revealed by a sleek steel bar in a façade of wood, concrete and glass. The architects used Kiri wood tinged with a darker tone and placed it as cladding of a brick wall and concrete structure, which is connected to the ground of the house.

Inside, a series of open spaces were created, strongly connected with the magnificent surrounding environment. Thus, every room is positioned to embrace the beautiful view of the lagoon, being flooded with natural light thanks to the façade of clear, translucent glass. The social areas (the kitchen, the dining room, the gallery and the living room) are placed on the ground floor from the access hall around an inner yard showcasing stylish contemporary design in a neutral color palette mixed up in visual harmony.

One of the main elements, which immediately draws attention is the large swimming pool that have an interior-exterior placement, which makes you think that it is one and the same, but in fact there are two separate pools, the continuity of them being only visual. The wonderful view of the lagoon can be seen  from the minimalist white kitchen as well. The upper floor is designed around the double-height space as well as the living room accommodating two full guest suites and a large office with sliding doors made for the owners’ work which opens to a balcony with splendid unobstructed vistas of neighboring properties and an endless sky.
