Black Wall as Headboard

A dramatic but interesting idea! Too masculine or do you like it? Via The Brick House.

Funky Bunk Designs

by Christine Hart

If you’re helping a teen redecorate his or her bedroom, consider contemporary bunk beds for the colorful, distinctive styles and creative layout possibilities.

To make the most of your space and to choose the design that will delight your teen, there are several imaginative types of bunk frames you’ll want to browse. These bunk bed frame styles are great for inspiration while you’re in the idea-generating phase.

Funky Bunk Styles:

• Loft bunks (just 1 bed on top)
• Bunks with stairs (instead of a ladder)
• Bunks with desks
• Triple bunks

Rockin’ & Vibrant

Nothing says urban or edgy like bold blacks, paired with intense vivid color. Look for collections that come in multiple finishes to achieve this look. You’ll have a coordinated style, without committing to a complete bedroom set in one strong color. Browse Lea bunk beds from collections like My Style (shown above).

Soft & Subtle

Alternately, your teen might be into the softer side of design, and you’ll find bunks for this look too. Try the Secret Garden Collection (shown above with a pink loft bunk). Just the name can inspire more décor accents to really personalize the room. Think vine decals, a skeleton key-shaped wall rack – for keys or jewelry – and a wicker chair on the side.

Adaptable Foundations

Bunk beds are such a versatile design choice, you might opt for an understated finish that lets other interior accents establish your theme. In those cases, look for natural shades of wood, choosing the unique layout that best fits your space before you decide on the colors and shapes to surround it.

Vintage Poster Beds

I’ve been searching for a twin or full size vintage bed (like one of these) on Etsy/Ebay for weeks. I am hoping to purchase something under $100 to paint- so preferably something a bit chippy and not perfect/shiny maple! I love all 3 of these which I found on Ebay but they are all $250 plus… I’ll keep looking!

1000 Square Foot Montreal Apt.

This 1000 square foot Montreal apartment completely blew me away! My favorite room is the colorful master bedroom with those gorgeous pocket doors and unique vintage chandelier.

Loving the vintage artwork and stripe-y black and white run. They sell a similar one at IKEA.

WOW = the bright yellow lamp base. Create one using spray paint!

Needlepoint pillows add so much interest.

Icelandic Sheepskins

I’m obsessing over these long haired Icelandic sheep skins from Black Sheep White Light. They are so beautiful and surprisingly affordable!

can pink be masculine?

there is something really cool and confident about this man’s room. if you were dating a guy and he showed you his pink bedroom would you immediately judge? can a straight guy realistically have a pink bedroom? i don’t think so, but i do love this room!
