apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

A mirror in a bedroom is definitely not Feng Shui. Not as a head board and not at the ceiling.

The picture on top looks really weird. The mirror is too small for a headboard and really just looks like you took it off the dresser for sex. The little skin rug looks like it might have been a dog. Everything but the bed looks too small.

Anyway, feng shui, the waking up and scaring yourself, is fooey. Mirrors are sexy. I don't look at any of these rooms and think, my what an interesting new look. I think these people like to watch themselves do it.

Gee, I totally love the first bedroom. Don't care for the headboard, but everything else about the room looks great.

The mirror headboard concept is not my style but it is sexy. As for seeing myself do it, I prefer a side view to a frontal one.

I like the headboard in the picture with the Hulsta bed, it's high enough that if I woke up and turned in the direction of the head of the bed I wouldn't see myself, but is close enough to give the feeling of a headboard. What about the possibility of a sand blasted mirrored headboard. Gives the sense of depth without the morning hair details.

Kinky.

Kinky AND stylish! Good idea.

Reminds me of a scene in The Thornbirds ...

These bedrooms are great in spite of the mirrors, which are definitely on the high end of cheesy, but cheesy nonetheless. They are not sexy, and the proportions of everything in the first bedroom are off.

Yes, the first one's headboard is so badly out of proportion to the bed, I'd have been embarrassed to have posted it.

I agree, with several of the other posts...its kind of a strange idea overall.

That first pic appears to be a tragic afterthought...
...the only ones that moderately appeal to me are the black room and the Chichester room.

KTG is right - These are for folks who want to be their own porn star...

I totally want that black chandelier in the second picture. That bedroom is awesome (and the mirror is high enough not to be creepy and/or a smudge-danger).

Is the thing in the second photo really a mirror? It kind of looks like a white-on-white painting behind glass, not a mirror. The first one is weird and the fourth one is not my style, but I like the other ones. The black and white rooms looks like a really awesome hotel. And the last one looks like a real, livable bedroom, even with all the white.

KTG - that's exactly what I think every time I see a mirrored headboard. So I just assume that's what people would think if I had one! LOL

Sexy, huh. What an interesting adjective to choose, since it looks like many of these headboards could shatter and kill anyone in the bed having vigorous sex.

Guess I'll add my imprimatur to all KTG said, too.

Aaaand... bepsf, I'm going to steal "a tragic afterthought" as the title of volume II of my never-to-be-written autobiography. With your permission, of course.

KTG - absolutely. I laughed out loud when I read the rug/dog comment - it does look a lot like a border collie.

BEPSF - that really was a fantastic turn of phrase for that unfortunate design choice.

I don't actually like any of the rooms, although I do like elements in each. I think I prefer mirrors to be either free-standing or on adjacent walls - I just keep thinking how disasterous it would be to break one...

I love, love, love the Julian Chichester, may be my next d.i.y...

I think the mirrors look nice; however, they're not really an option in my part of the world where earthquakes are a possibility.

wink wink nudge nudge SAY NO MORE! aye? aye?

Here is a link showing the rest of the house from the first picture. I apologise if it was shown here before, but I think it's drool-worthy:
