At their best, bedrooms are soothing, calming escapes we retreat to at each day's end and start from afresh with each new day. What better way to make them such places than to link them closely to the outdoors? Here are some bedrooms that have amazing views of their beautiful outdoor surroundings:
My humble bedroom has mainly a street view, but one window does look out directly on a large tree. This alone is such a relaxing attribute for the room. Seeing a little greenery outdoors and hearing the birds when lazing in bed on a Sunday morning does wonders for relaxation! What view of the outdoors does your bedroom have?

ok love all of the incredible pics how about some now that are more down to earth.. so we can see how many of us live.. what happened to the painted headboard?
They look awesome ... I'm not quite sure I could sleep and live in one of those rooms though, I'd feel very exposed and as living in a fishbowl.
Love them!
All the windows make me wish that a bathroom nightmare wasn't postponing our sunroom plans :(
wow, very nice collection.
iam- 2 as a curtain that you can pull. 1,3, and 4 each look out with nothing but nature able to see in.
so perfect if one lives where there aren't any mosquitoes...that sound they make at night will drive you insane....

I LOVE number 3!
IAMSNWFLK - I always thought that too, but we've recently found ourselves blessed with a bedroom with windows comparable to #3 & #4, and because they face a private corner of the yard, and we're up on a hill above a ton of houses, it feels surprisingly unfishbowl-like. As long as you know people can't see in unless they went out of their way (creepers!) it just feels peaceful and relaxing :)
