The room is beige with a rusty red accent wall behind the deep brown leather bed. I really like this type of bed, there is just something about the bed end that appeals to me. Simple lines, rich colors and heavy drapes combine into a masculine bedroom.

*

The beige wall color could be something like Pantone 467 C, while the red is Pantone 1675 C.

*

The huge round mirror over the bed is probably this one (right) from Heal’s at £825.oo ($1,240).  A similar style mirror by Furniture in Fashion is priced at merely £99.95  ($150). Both Mirrors are 100 cm (40 in). Laura Ashley also has a smaller one.

*

Off topic; Australia is one of my dream destinations, I am under the impression there is a wicked wildlife over there, with the super cute Koala Bears and the crazy looking Armadillos (the latter of which I always associate with roadkill, LOL). Anyone been to- or live in Australia? Am I way off with my conception?

UPDATE: Apparently I was way off with the Armadillo, but I’d love to go to Aus and see one of those super cute Koalas. Thanks Beachtropic for filling me in!!

*

Lots of Asian influence here, from the wall panels to the bamboo bench and cobalt blue foo dogs. The color scheme of coral red, crisp white and beige is very fresh and clean. I find that all the neat little details carry my eyes across the room. Rooms like that never become boring to look at.

*

The panels on the wall flanking the bed looks like framed fabric. Cute idea.

On a side note: Every time I see a foo dog, I am reminded of my cat Professor (a Persian). He was not created correctly, lol!

*

Bedroom seating area. Coral red throws add a splash of color to the beige chairs.

*

Have you noticed it is quite popular to stack pretty throw pillows under side tables like this?

The thing that really strikes me, apart from the playful color palette, is the shiny ceilings:

*

Turquoise  and chocolate brown living room. When you have a large feature that you want to stand out, like the huge silver mirror, you can “frame” it by opting for one chandelier on each side, instead of one in front. The gold ceiling is beautiful and functional as it reflects the light from the pair of lanterns. I am absolutely in love with the chocolate colored sofa.

*

The second living room is a deep purple color, accented with various shades of blues and aubergine. The area rug is hot!

*

This turquoise and white kitchen is amazing! I love the seating area furniture!

*

The bedroom walls and ceiling is completely covered in a patterned silver and white wall covering. The result is amazing, as the light is reflected everywhere, washing out all boundaries. It’s like a red bed in a cloud, lol!

*

Cream walls with crisp white trim. I just love how the alcove window seat is made part of a dining area, and see how the round table fits in perfectly. The result is a semi formal dining area, surely perfect for entertaining. Every detail in this room is great, and I especially love the lamp!

*

Cream living room with blue-gray, rich brown and rust red.  Classic elegance perfectly mixed with exotic patterns. No lack of natural light either.

*

Beautiful outdoor seating area of white, brown and red. The tiles are so pretty.

*

This white bed is amazing! Looks especially good as a contrast to the red wall!

*

Classic tall living room with gray walls and polished dark stained wood floors. The chandelier looks huge!

*

Talk about a picture coming to life, haha! Really creative idea, would you go for it?

*

Nice patio furniture!

*

Gorgeous photos via House to Home! Click pics to visit!

*

Coral red and antique-white two bed guest bedroom. The headboards are HOT! The bright color and bold fabric gives this room a 70’s vibe, but still it is so “now”!

*

This spectacular living room is painted a glossy gray all over. Even the huge bookshelf, which is placed directly behind the sofa, by the way. Hints of purple adds a regal touch, all topped of with a huge crystal chandelier.

*

Two shades of purple in this super modern bedroom. The crisp white details really pop!

*

Divine pink dining room. Nothing softens a room like light translucent curtains.. And what about the carpet? It’s pretty fabulous, right?

*

Orange hallway with crisp white furniture and accents. The lamp is designed by Jonathan Adler:

*

*

How about you? Are you bold enough to take on bright colors like these? Do you think you would grow bored of a bright color quicker than of a neutral color?

Love this exotic bedroom. The cool white walls are contrasted by the dark canopy beds, and a rust red accent color gives a healthy color boost.

The orange red color on this wall is so pretty! Gorgeous cozy living room with an oriental twist. The tree mural really adds a lot of charm to this room.

*

The carpet behind the mirror adds some depth and some extra flavor to this

*

Each room is designed in a different theme. This is the Old Mill family room with two king sized beds and a hand painted mural. To read more about each room, click the pic!

*

Carin is the super girly all pink bedroom. Perfect for Barbie and Ken!

*

The Chestnut Foal is a green and brown horse themed room. Check out the Merry-Go-Round ceiling lamp!

*

This tyrian purple and burgundy red bedroom is accented with golden mirror frames and classic teardrop chandeliers. To achieve a baroque theme, go for regal colors and velvet (or velour). I would go for another color carpet though. This room is named Dez, and might not be suited for a kid, lol.

*

The Mountain view has a nice relaxed atmosphere with brown carpeting, green walls and a great white bed with some wild zebra prints!

*

Merry is a sparkling pink bedroom with chandeliers by the dozen.
