Neither. I like a cozy bedroom, with enough color and personality in it that I feel welcomed but not so much that I'm blinded by decor.

I go minimalist. Leaves room for thoughts as you are drifting off to sleep.

Love minimalist bedrooms. Nothing like white sheets, tons of light, wood floors, and a play of textures. Maxmimal bedrooms feel too stuffy for me, and sorta like they'd never be clean (imagining trying to get dust and pet hair off all those surfaces!). I also agree with cremedela that there can be a happy medium of things. Cheery and bright, but not so starkly minimal.

Dark minimal, I guess. Sort of like the last photo. Dark is cozy. Our bedroom is for sleeping only (no TV, just a book and a small light for pre-sleep reading). Minimal sunlight unless the shutters and shades are up. Going to sleep in complete darkness is great. And one of us can't handle a lot of bright light right when the alarm goes off. :)

Maximalist. Minimalism is boring.

Minimalist reminds me too much of the dives I slept in in college. I want warm, cozy, and filled with vintage nummies.

The "minimalist" bedrooms always seem like they'd be really cold--temperature wise. =P

I love the Laura Day room. It's the inspiration for my bedroom-in-progress.

Somewhere in between. But leaning towards the minimalist.

Minimalist! so peaceful and calm. The bedroom with the white floor is so dreamy...

I'm all about the maximalist bedrooms, but my husband's more into the minimalist ones. Sigh. Must compromise...

Jonathan Adler said it best:

"Less is a Bore"

I'm also somewhere in between. But, if I had to pick one from these ten photos, I'd pick the 8th one. Light and airy. But, I wouldn't seeing nightstands and a simple desk in there though.

If I lived in a magazine, I would pick 6, 9, or 10. So I guess I like Dramatic Minimalist.

Warm minimalist, if I had to choose. White floors seem cold and make me feel nervous. But maximalist feels heavy and oppressive, like I'd wake up tangled in the bedding in the middle of the night. The third bedroom on the bottom row is the proverbial "just right."

Can it ever be both? I really am attracted to maximalist colors, patterns and furniture shapes, but prefer to not have a lot of stuff in the room.

I like that my bedroom has low-maintenance simplicity, casual comfort, pretty color, and the feel of a tranquil, private garden. I might label my preferred style "tropical minimalism."

I like the minimalist, but they just feel cold.

There are elements of all of them that I really like; however, I can't say that there is one that I absolutely like more than the rest.

I'm somewhere in between. Love the ones in pictures 6, 9 and 10, so I guess I'm more minimalist with a dash of color and some personal touches that make it more warm and inviting than cold and sterile.

Love minimal, live cluttered.

Towards maximalism.

#6 but with more fabric & a few more things around the place.

Luxe.

Depends on the temperature. Stark Clean Minimalist seems so attractive during summer's dog days. And when it's winter's depths, dark short days and stew, soup, and cuddling up of all sorts are the only way to go, a bedroom with layers of color and texture appears to be the most attractive.

Ha, images 2 and 5 really made my afternoon. Now I'm thinking of integrating skinned muppet pillows into my own bedroom. ^_^

The first image on the second row is definitely a dream room for me. The decayed grandeur is maximalist in spirit despite its minimalist number of items.

I would not be able to sleep in room #5, its a hygiene factor for me and I like natural materials things that breath. There is more dust in the world than ever and I want to see the dust so I can take it away immediately. Absolutely no carpet..again want to see the dust.

My room is cozy but crisp and I just change the look and feel with bedding. Flannel, more textures in the winter and white sheets in the summer, prints in the spring. With a very neutral dark grey back drop I can create different looks easily.

@Miami's Elaine - I like that..I've always wanted that in a beach house.

I can't say that I like either to be honest. I'm a self-proclaimed minimalist and I strongly dislike clutter or too much stuff though. I just don't get why being minimalist means that things have to be all geometric and stark. I do love a clean bright and open room, with simple furnishings. It doesn't hurt to have a *few* tasteful decor items. Definitely not so many that in order to tidy up, it'll take a month to get to everything. 99% of those bedrooms are unrealistic. A lamp balancing on a domino of suitcases? Blankets and sheets draping onto the floor? I don't get it.

Where is room 6? I'm moving in.

Warm colors; layers and layers of fabrics.

Those white stark bedrooms seem so depressing and empty to me. Bordering on institutional. Even some of the whimsical touches- those suitcases in that room looks like someone is just hoping to get away!

I guess I's have to say maximal, but without busy wallpaper. I don't like a lot of busy patterns. Layering, sure, but not a lot of busy patterns. And some lovely deep colors.

I don't understand the dust phobia. I have carpet and I have stuff. I get sick very infrequently and sleep very well. So, I'm not sure why avoiding pretty things in the bedroom helps you feel better? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting...

I love both, depends on the execution...but the Greige Design room is GORGEOUS.

Go big or go home!

As a student on a tight budget, the minimalist design has been somewhat thrust upon me! However, a well executed minimalist bedroom appeals to me so much more than the overwhelming opulence in the other rooms - its all a bit much for me!

I love minimal with dramatic art.
#6 and #8 are beautiful.
Blue and white. Just perfection.

The pure white bedrooms are very very cold and depressing to me. I like colors and texture and a bit of "stuff". I do understand the clutter issue, so keep things clean and organized as best as you can. Plus decorations should have some sentimental value...not all purchased from stores, cutting down on the visual overload of "too much store bought". It makes for a cozy, welcoming, secure home.

Key for maximalist: organize and clean to a reasonable degree.

For a bedroom (only) I lean more toward minimalist, but with a lot of texture and color. I actually dig the white style and right now I'm decorating with greens, white and beige. I like a dark bedroom to sleep in but prefer it to allow a good deal of natural light to wake up in a more natural manner.

None of these rooms really do it for me I'm afraid. The minimalist rooms seem mostly impractical, and the maximalist ones seem fussy and a wee bit overbearing. Most of us I think choose a style somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, with a heavy influence being the dimensions of the room we're working with. My own bedroom is way too small to handle the maximalism shown here (and I would guess most bedrooms are); however even in a minimalist design I want a stable bedside surface for books and appropriate lighting.

I think my ideal would be minimalism in patterns and lines, and maximalism in texture and textiles. And maybe even colour.

I like rooms that look like they have always been there and the things in them to look collected over time. I abhor a void. My bedroom contains: a 48" round table that I use as a night stand, a queen sized four poster, a bow-front chest of drawers that is also the other night stand, an antique Asian chest,and a desk and two chairs. I am still looking for a small reading chair and I can never have too much on the walls. The room is 14' by 14' and my friends have all commented that it looks warm and inviting. Maximal on steroids!

minimalist fo sure!

I went from a busy, maximalist bedroom to a very minimalist bedroom. I could never go back. My room is quiet, comforting and warm.
