That bed in the pool would stink and the sheets would always feel musty damp. ewwww

The aquarium ones are pretty cool for a hotel though.

ditto on the pool bed..gross

Let's just not think about beds stinking and stuff...this would be so FREAKING cool!!!

My eight-year-old self is totally digging all this.

I find the image of the bed above the pool to be very unsettling. That room feels so closed in and dangerous.

That first one is cool, but I could never sleep! I'd be so freaked out that the glass would break and I'd drown. The one on the lake would be kind of fun on a warm night, but again, I'd probably be afraid of falling off.

I love these -
I always sleep my best when I'm aboard a ship - The gentle rocking of the ship is so relaxing...

And while I'm not a big fan of wall murals - that aquarium mural would be great for my nephew's bedroom
(Well, maybe w/ fewer sharks...)

would love the aquariums at a hotel. Not a fan of the pool picture; as StudioStarter said, it feels closed in. However, love the bed on the pond and would be ok if it were an outside pool. And the kid's room is just so much fun!

HeyNowTex--

I am writing this from, and will be sleeping later in, my seventh floor studio. With 43 floors above me.

I try very hard *not* to consider that catastrophic failure of any engineering nature, wet or dry, is at all an option. :)

It looks like Troy Mcclure's bedroom in The Simpsons episode "A Fish Called Selma."

Even so, if I could get over the fear of the whole thing collapsing on me (even though I'm sure it's very safe), that room might be fun for a night.

Photo number 3 looks amazing for chilling out and reading a book -- while awake -- but they all make me a bit uncomfortable for sleeping. I slept on a friend's water bed once (back when people had those), and I had dreams all night that I was drowning. No bueno. I just want it to be cool and dark where I'm sleeping. No bells, no whistles, no water.

As HeyNowTex voiced my concern about the glass breaking. That thought alone would be enough to keep me up at night. Also, the bed by the pool sounds good in theory, but I imagine the smell of chlorine would keep me from catching my zzzs.

yikes to all but nos. 1 2 are downright terrifying.

Aquariums in a bedroom yes, but what about a bedroom in an aquarium? That's more what you're talking about here.

Cool.

The first one is very cool, but, yeah, I don't think I could spend much time in there. Besides, it's $15,000 a week. Per person, double occupancy required. Yikes!

They're all cool-looking, but #4 would be awful. It wouldn't take 10 minutes before I knocked my book, or my laptop, or (worst of all) my glasses off the nightstand and into the water.

I would love to stay in those hotel rooms, fish bring me peace, there's probably no neighbour's noise and... can you imagine it during sunset or very early morning? It's like being a Na'vi, :)

I agree that the pool around the bed is a stupid idea, not functional, and I really don't like that wallpaper.

For several summers, growing up, we would go houseboating on Lake Shasta. We used to argue about who GOT to sleep on the roof. Railing around edge kept us from rolling off and you could only get up if an adult made sure you didn't fall off while going down the ladder.

having moisture in your room is so bad for your mattress, espicially one of those latex or foam ones! no good!

I definitely wouldn't want to come home (and cross the bridge) to that pool-bed after a night of heavy drinking...that's bad feng shui! :)

eek! think of all those mozzies in #3!!!

i would love to make myself a version of the floating bed on a dock. with mosquito nets draping over some sort of four post structure. and a pretty lantern above the bed lit with a candle.

I can't be the only one that thinks the pool bedroom could be fairly disastrous should a couple ahem, make love vigorously... falling into the pool with the bed! not good!

OK.... I think that, even an amateur like me can spot the "Budget Bedroom" amongst that lot!!! The bed on the pontoon looks inviting, albeit, not exactly practical for someone who swims like a stone. I do love that first room though. It just looks so serene... and so wildly beyond my income but, what a wonderful place to stay..... so long as there aren't scuba-diving tourists and the glass-bottomed boats to worry about!

I love love love water. Any of these would work for me. It takes everything i have not to fall asleep in an extra long bath... ah relaxation.

A neat one would be a room built partially into a lake or lagoon or something something. I'm imagining a house on a slope with a beach level addition that extends outward from the shore into the water, so that the external windows rise and fall with the water levels in the lake. Or in a cave. You could put skylights in and then it would be a very crazy space. Especially in winter when there is a layer of ice on top, or when the sun is shining into the water.... that would be a really neat experiment. it would look like you have walls partway up the window, but you might see fish imoving around in them. And if it were in a lagoon then it would change with tides. Whoa. I think I'm blowing my own design brain right now. You could even do this with a pool house- sink the cabana into the side of the pool, so you can have drinks in the cabana while your guests cavort nearby!

But something about the fully enclosed in water aspects of one and two would make it hard for me to sleep... something of the difference between a glass bottom boat and a submarine- one is me looking into the water, the other is water between me and air.... I could walk through a room like that and even maybe try to eat dinner in it, (preferably with a tube that i know connects to a supply of oxygen in hand) but to relax into sleep in a space like that seems like it would be hard to do.

As for the pool bed- that photo is hilarious- its like an ugly hotel room in a hotel pool- as if they needed the space for overcrowding.

The lake bed makes me think of the boat in Chocolat that Depp and Binoche spend the night in. I'd go for it, but only if it had sides. I'm appallingly risk adverse when it comes to rolling off my bed into a lake. It wouldn't be a pleasant wake up. Also mosquitos.

It could be a VERY rude awakening if you happened to sleep-walk whilst sleeping in bed in picture 4.

These are AWESOME. Sadly #3 just makes me think of mosquitoes.

I love #1 and 2, but #4 is disturbing to me..... The smell of chlorine, the acoustics, the lack of windows.... AAAHH!

I would love to spend the night in room #1. But probably not day to day. No on the others.

The collection of neuroses among AT readers is fascinating. So many terrors, so little time....

.... perhaps AT should do a feature on psychiatrists' couches, rosenatti!

lol rosenatti

The link to the source for #3 is the same as the one for #4. #3's bedding is gorgeous!

I'm right with you Patrick (the other one) ...except I'm on 19 with another 46 floors above me.

Can't do. Would never stop watching the fish long enough to sleep.

No. 1 would freak me out. I'm thinking "Jaws 3D." The glass will break and a shark will devour my ass.

I love it visually, but when I was a kid and had fish in the house as pets, I occasionally had talking fish nightmares. I can imagine having some very strange dreams.

Think I'd rather count sheep!

That first photo is what I imagined Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters to look like while they were in Sub Station Beta, except they would have very ornate victorian furniture.

I love the first two, dreamy...
