A City View
Our first set of bedroom retreats features chic city rooms with a view. How do you decorate these dramatic spaces? The boudoir below is filled with neutral tones, clean lines and tropical greenery–the perfect counterparts to the city lights outside. [from Interior Design Ideas]

An Earthy Retreat
Our next featured trio of rooms celebrates warm tones and earthy details, all within a modern context. Wooded views await outside this next lofty bedroom that may as well be a resort cabin! A four-poster bed and bedside tables with matching lamps create a sense of symmetry. [from Ward Young Architecture & Planning]
A faux fireplace is one of many features that brings this next grand bedroom down to earth. An accent wall filled with wooden planks and a celebration of texture on throw, rug and pillows adds another layer of comfort. [photo by Sue Murray for Capital Building]
With a view of the rooftops, the warm-toned bedroom below is anchored by wooden flooring. Yet the use of charcoal on the rug, bedding and accessories provides a much-needed cool-toned element that is contemporary and soothing at the same time.

It’s hard to imagine anything more pure than white loungers, gauzy curtains and an expansive view of the crystal blue ocean. By going with a “less is more” approach punctuated by shades of sea blue, pure tropical style can reign at home, as shown by the Jennifer Post-designed bedroom below.

There’s something so glam about this Boca Raton bedroom. A monochromatic look in shades of cream creates a sophisticated vibe, while dramatic greenery adds tropical flair. Also note the abundance of plush surfaces. [photo by Barry Grossman via Interiors by Steven G]
We end with a space that’s as colorful as it is tropical. It’s the master bedroom of designer John Barman. This Miami Beach sleeping space features an array of unexpected details in vivid tones. Radiant modern style is the perfect modern counterpart to white walls and the placid ocean just outside. [photo by Dan Forer via Architectural Digest]
