The ideal bedroom is a place you want to retreat to, in more ways than one. While sexy is different things to different people, we can all agree that a beautiful, inviting and tactile bedroom can help create the mood for love.

i keep clicking on 15 and it takes me to 14. how do I find out where they got those wood helix side tables in 15? wow!
Oops, link is fixed! Thanks for the catch :)
Delightful eye-candy to start the day! Thank you very much, this was fun. And I like being able to access some past house tours via links like these. For some reason I'm always stumped when trying to just peruse historical archives. Can't find 'em.
That teal ceiling in #17 has a fascinating effect, doesn't it?
It's pretty but I'm not sure #6 belongs on this list. Nothing says sexy-time like a crib in the bedroom and your kid's toys on the bed???
15 is amazing, those hanging pendant shades are fab!
is it just me or some of the photos feel like they do not belong here.. Except for few, I find it difficult to find anything that classify as sexy bedroom. Sorry.
Wow, #1 is on the mark for instantly creating the right mood. #2 with the dog on the bed, not so much.
#12 - really? Unless you're really into the Bay and/or wool, I don't see how this is remotely sexy.
I'd live in fear of that giant cherub above my head --- one good earthquake and WHAM! it's over...
Maybe it's just me, but there are only 3 or 4 that are remotely sexy.
There's a difference between being attractive or nicely designed, and actually qualifying as sexy.
I would also like to know what is SEXY about these rooms? A crib? Are your serious? Try again ... I'd be interested in some sexy rooms.
Ok now I feel bad for saying this but really?? These?
Dog watching you do it? Check? Kid sleeping next to you with squeky toys under you? Check. Creepy cherub? Weird huge naked guy portrait? Scratchy wool? Check check and check.
I had high hopes for this post.
Bedroom #8 looks like it's owned by a gay couple with an Aboriginal fetish.
Naked Yeti. Not so sexy.
Gotta agree that most of these aren't remotely sexy. Now the post on dark bedrooms further up the thread...that is some sexxxy stuff.
Sleeping in the same room as baby s recommended by the aap for at least the first 6 months. Sex with a sleeping baby in a crib next to the bed? BTDT. Maybe not "vivid" level sexy, but realistic. Good for acknowledging it, AT!
#8 reminds me of Ian from "High Fidelity." It's sexual more than sexy.
(I still think it's kinda cool though.)
These aren't sexy! With the exception of one or two. Please try again Apartment Therapy because I really like the idea of this post. When I think of sexy I think of bold beautiful colour, rich textures, luxurious fabrics, gorgeous scents (flowers, candles). Many of these lacking some if not all of these.
...because nothing says sexy like a Hudson's Bay blanket on a sloppy bed in a grad school apartment. Umm...actually, that wasn't sexy even when I was 22. And the room with the crib? Yeah, not so much. I'm wondering if they even noticed there was a crib in the picture?
Some of these bedrooms are lovely but sexy?! No.
Some are sexy but the rest are wtf?
