apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

In general, it feels like beaded curtains have already seen its glory days (remember this one?). But the folks at Habitat are making a valiant attempt of bringing them back: check out the photo shoot of their latest bedroom decor (pictured above). They've somehow managed to make beaded curtains look...G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S? The pairing of icy-blue bedding with rows of pearly strands makes this bedroom look like a secret nookie-nest behind a faux waterfall.

Realistically, I'm not sure how this look will translate in a boxy bedroom with standard windows. With all the beads and the powder blue, your boudoir could potentially end up looking more like a seedy Leisure Suit Larry motel room rather than a sophisticated 70's-inspired sexy pad (complete with a remote controlled wet bar and stereo system). Still want to try it anyway? Start with these; and when you're done, take a photo and send it off to the Romantic Room giveaway!
