There’s no one way to decorate a room. These 50 rooms show that anything is possible.
Most of us spent more time at home in 2020 than any other year. And because of this, many of us want to make few changes.
Yes, it’s easy to ignore the parts of your home that you don’t like when you can go out as much as you want. But when you’re stuck indoors, your home’s imperfections can really start to grate.
And if anyone needs any room redesign inspiration, then just look at the stunning examples ahead.
Why have windows when you can have clock windows?
This penthouse apartment is located in Brooklyn. So it should be pretty affordable, right? After all, Brooklyn is famously cheaper than Manhattan.
No points for guessing which country this is located in
Yes, it’s in Japan. And it’s a hotel room, so it may lack personal touches. But it makes up for that in authenticity!
What’s your favorite feature?
That spiral staircase? The marble floor? The grand piano?
The perfect reading nook
This must be a church that was converted into apartments. The Last Supper painting is a clever nod to its former role. And only having parts of stained glass windows shouldn’t work, but they do!
This is no ordinary swimming pool
Sure, most of us won’t be converting our corridors into pools any time soon. But it’s fun to imagine! Just think, your houseguests would be confused and amazed.
This is located on the Baltic coast of Poland
The Scandinavian influence from the north is clear. That wood panelling could look like something from the 70s. Instead, it looks super modern.
Another successful wood panel theme
This cabin is located in Upstate New York. That little fireplace looks like it was built just for this room. And the built in bookshelves are incredible.
No, this is not an M.C. Escher painting
This apartment is so well designed, it’s easy to forget that it’s tiny. Yes, it’s a studio. But it’s in London, and it’s such a nice environment.
This building originally dates to 1914
It’s in Belgium, which saw lots of devastation in World War One. Luckily, this building survived. This is a recent renovation, and it really does the space justice.
A British conservatory
You can just imagine the owners sipping tea in here. Sure, the garden looks a little small by US standards. But this extra little room really helps!
The height of this is amazing
Yes, open plans are popular right now. And when you look at spaces like this, it’s easy to see why. This home is located in the woods near Portland, Oregon.
A Scandinavian attic
That wood sure looks sturdy! The only issue is that there’s no curtain/blind. A sleep mask will do the trick though.
A Parisian paradise
Yes, it’s located in the capital of France. And look at those chandeliers. And the marble coffee tables!
At least that picture above the fireplace gives people something to stare at
And if for some reason people get bored of the picture, then they can also enjoy the stunning view from those huge windows. There aren’t many rooms that would suit a large carved baby elephant. But the little guy looks completely at home here.
That high up, no one’s going to be able to watch you bathe
But you are able to stare down at all the tiny people as they go about their day. Are those plants real? If so, that’s a fantastic addition.
The thick woodland could have blocked out the light
So they just built huge windows! And this room leads to a patio among the treetops. It’s in California.
No, this isn’t from Harry Potter
This is a library in Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Ok, so this is another one that’s gonna be pretty hard to replicate in a typical home. But just look at the beauty!
A Scandinavian style in Scandinavia
This apartment is located in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. Judging by the walls, this is in the attic. Those beams are very nice.
A celebrity home
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, from A Quiet Place, live here. And as the sign suggests, it’s located in Brooklyn. If only all celebrity couples had such good taste!
Another spiral staircase
This one really gives the room an edge. And no, that thing in the front isn’t a sink. It’s a basket filled with rocks.
Who else wants that table?
This is a tea room in China. The garden that it looks out to is incredibly calming too! Who wouldn’t want to spend their breaks here?
Why don’t you just install some pretzel stairs?
Ok, this is another one that is going to be basically impossible for people to incorporate into their homes. Because where do you start? But it’s so fun to look at.
This room just goes on forever
Yes, it’s in California. Isn’t there something about this that says “California!”? It looks like a tech CEO lives here.
A Scottish castle’s dining room
How often have the guests enjoyed haggis? Also, that Union Jack flag doesn’t have the Northern Ireland cross included. To be fair, Britain only adopted that design in 1801.
A hotel lounge in Marrakech
Now this is an indoor pool that some people could actually incorporate. Sure, it’s not an easy installation. But look at that thing!
Do you think whoever owns this likes wine?
I’m gonna go out on a whim and say yes. Literally every bit of this room works. What do you think is worth more, the desk or the couch?
Could this be the world’s greatest bathroom?
It even has a Jack and Jill sink! That cow painting is an interesting choice. It works, in a quirky way.
Could you ever get bored of the exposed brick?
Once more, this is a room that could do with some curtains. In this case, there are definitely neighbors that can peep in. But maybe the owners just want to show off how nice their space is?
A hotel lobby in Venice
See, having a nice room isn’t hard. Just make it identical to a beautiful ancient courtyard. And don’t forget the rug!
Apparently The Hamptons have some nice real estate
Who would have guessed? After all, it’s only populated by the richest people in the world. And this is the home of a highly successful architect.
This used to be a Howard Hughes aircraft hangar
Now it’s the home of Google LA. If they can buy places like this, Google’s probably going to be successful. One day, we’ll all have heard of this company.
Even the ceiling looks great
If only every room could have a little walkway stretching around the top of it. That couch is also really unique. This is in Beirut.
Yes, a wedding reception in a medieval crypt
Because ghosts very rarely get to go to weddings these days. They’re dining and dancing on top of corpses. And this is in London.
Even without the view, this would look fantastic
The pink of those walls just scream “Paris” for some reason. It’s a shame that the TV is there though. Other than that, this looks ideal.
This is enough to make you wish all doorways could be circular
If it works for the Hobbits, then why not for humans? The older style decor makes a really nice contrast to the more modern stylings of the room. A very clever design here!
If only we could all have a yard under the stairs
To be fair, lots of people grow marijuana in their cupboards under the stairs. But this is a little more fancy. Don’t you just want to climb those steps and look around?
Of course, you can also have a rectangular door inside a circular window
Which fireplace is better, the indoor one or the outdoor one? And look at that rug. This is located on the Wasatch Mountains, part of The Rockies.
Yep, another California home
Of course, being right on the beach is another bonus. That view looks unreal! Does the homeowner own the beach too?
No prizes for guessing where this is
Hmm, Chrysler building in the background? Map of lower Manhattan on the wall? Is this Cleveland?
Don’t let the chair fool you. It’s not in Britain
This industrial modern masterpiece is in Bangkok, Thailand. That deck alone would be amazing. And loot at the exposed brick!
This kitchen was once a library
The high shelves and ladder are nods to its past. That chair with the twisty arms might just be the best feature. Well, apart from the lights.
Another Manhattan masterpiece
Yes, it’s the windows that sell this one. It’s nice and high up, meaning that the traffic doesn’t reach the area. And it only costs $30 million!
Do you think he likes Westerns?
And yes, of course this is for a he. This is a total man cave. The furry pillows are a little out of place though.
This is a yacht
The bed is stabilized so that the people sleeping on it don’t get thrown about so much. So when you’re all looking to renovate your yachts, be sure to include one of those beds! Are those lamps/tables fixed down?
Ok, no adult wants this
But imagine if you were a kid! You’d get to sleep in a castle! What a lucky child.
It’s an inverted pyramid
It’s so clever how those stairs are built into the wall. This is a whole new way to do an open plan. The black chairs are also very nice.
This was once a timber warehouse
That painting on the left really fits in with the style of the room. Just be careful of the wire running across the walkway. That’s a trip hazard.
A mid century style library
Those alcoves are so impressive. Also, how can a pink carpet work so well in this environment? This library is in the offices of Dropbox in San Francisco.
California really does have the best rooms
And the best views. And is that a fish tank at the very back of the building? You’d never need a TV in this home.
Yes, another man cave
If you’ve got the space, who wouldn’t install a bar and a pool table? The curved wall which leads to the in-built sofa is also great. And the ottomans are also ideal.
Sure, your homes may not be as lavish as these spaces. But hopefully you’ve been inspired to renovate. Time to put a mood board together, right!?
