Ok ok, so we know that none of these tents can actually be considered roughing it, but that's what we typically associate with tents and camping. All that dread gets thrown out the window when we look at these beautiful tent bedrooms and we just want to close our eyes and pretend we're sleeping in them right now!
We've sent up our camping tent in the living room before with a mattress and the luxurious sheets, blankets and pillows from our bed and it was an amazing experience. It was a mini vacation for a night and while we were in that tent with it zipped up and the lights off — we could have been anywhere. We've been itching to take it one step further and erect a tent from sheets and bedding around our actual bed (just for fun) and after looking at these inspirational tent bedrooms we think we're ready for it!
What do you think of these tent bedrooms? Would you want one in your home?

Cute! The first one reminds me of the "You Jump, I Jump Jack" episode of Gilmore Girls, haha.
When I was 17, my parents allowed me to set up a tent in the back yard and sleep there every night. I set up a stereo, and it was one of the most awesome summers. Thanks for reminding me of it with this post.
I immediately thought "Billy Madison" when I saw this post. Anyone else?
I love this entire idea and especially picture no. 4. But then my brain kicks in and says, "whoa, dust allergies".
I thought of the Subaru commercial with the honeymooning "just married" couple, spending their wedding night in a tent. Which I'd love to do.
I can't wait until my nieces are old enough for me to build forts with them!
@HernandoHouse - love that episode!!
I would do this if I had a big big yard.
Love this idea. I always dug the one from "The Holiday" - Jude Law's character's 2 girls have such an amazing tent in their room - so sweet. Here's a link to that one: http://embracethepretty.blogspot.com/2010/03/indoor-camping-girls-tee-pee.html
Sigh. I always wanted to live with the Bedouin as a child.
Any of these tents would suffice.
I have a huge unfinished attic, and I just figured out how to use that space!!!! The meditation 'room' I'm picturing in my head right now is amazing, and I'm fighting very hard NOT to call of work so I can start it!!!
@HernandoHouse- Yes!!! She was meant for Logan. I'm still bummed that Rory didn't say yes.
These would also make an excellent impromptu guest bedroom in our backyard, so it wouldn't look like we're just sticking our guest in a tent, but in a peaceful retreat instead :)
Wow. These look so beautiful. Number 2 is sort of like the ultimate grownup blanket fort.
Looking at these reminds me of when I was just a kid and my friend and I would go camping with her brother and dad. There was a girls tent and a guys tent. Before we left for our camping trips we would draw up pictures of the interior of the tent and how we wanted to lay it out (it was a two person tent). We would make decorations to hang and talk about the feeling we wanted to create. The outcome was nothing like these beautiful tents, but we had fun... because tents are fun.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT.
I love these, although all I can think when looking at (2) is the house fire that is about to happen when a spark jumps from that fireplace.
I am so doing this. Thanks for the awesome post.

I love the look of a tent bedroom with vaulted ceilings. If I still have vaulted ceilings when I have kids, they will get the "lost boys" treatment a la "Hook." I love this look so much! It very well could be why I love feeling like I'm in a cocoon when I sleep.
First, I would love to say that I am excited to see people talking about Gilmore Girls! Geez, I miss it. And I love that Subaru commercial! So romantic!
Anyway, these tents are absolutely lovely. I especially love one and four. I can't wait to create something like this some day, out in the country. Love.
How about a feature on Safari style tents? This is a gorgeous one I stayed in last October...it was pure bliss...and pretty close to perfection..
