We've blogged about Normal Room before, taking looks at both bathrooms and living rooms from around the world. Today we take a peek inside the most personal room in the house, the bedroom. We pulled 15 examples of sleeping spaces from around the world and we have to say that color seems to be "in" along with fairly simple bedding and unfussy beds in general...enjoy the world tour!

Oh dear. Well I guess the title is "Normal Room", which is apparently synonymous with "Mind-Numbingly Boring Room".

I LOVE these rooms, Ok they need more art but the beds are great, so simple and clean. I wish we see more of this kind of thing.

I only really like the 2nd room, the others are ok, but very normal

Look at the title - the rooms are supposed to be NORMAL.

#2 is definitely my favorite, I would eliminate some of the things but the door and window are the best!!
the Chinese bedroom looks very Western which surprised me.

The second bedroom was my favourite, too.

Seconding ChrisGal and Aiekan about the point of the post being about normal bedrooms.

I wish MY bedroom looked as good as some of these. I wouldn't want to actually live in some of the overdesigned rooms I've seen on this and other design sites.

I love that everybody is choosing the Average Svensson bedroom.

That Spanish bedroom looks so sad... I have a small, normal Spanish bedroom which I share with my boyfriend that doesn't look that sad... http://www.wetakeiteasy.com/photos/

We got most things off ikea, low budget, renters, first place together, seven months living here and still no art on the wall (it's behind the sofa, waiting for someone to take pity on it) doesn't that make us normal too?
