These bedrooms from the issue of Lonny are mostly furnished by professional decorators, so they boast a certain polish, but they each contain inspiration and ideas that could easily be applied on your own. I'm particularly interested in how designers balance different qualities in a room: symmetry balanced with playfulness; dark walls balanced with light and air; all white balanced with warmth and coziness. I also find these bedrooms find a good mix of textures, each incorporating something shiny, like a metallic lamp or a mirror wall, and something tactile, like a grasscloth wallcovering or a faux-fur blanket.

Z2 iPod Dock and Wi...
None of these are that spectacular to me :-(
Pretty. And I need to know where the headboard in #3 is from.
Loving the turquoise and gold in the second bedroom.
I really like #1...
..but that single curtain panel behind the bed of #4 - it's undersized and chintzy & makes the room appear cheap.
I only really like #2. I mean, they are all nice, but I expect more from professionally decorated apartments.
