I sort of like it.  I don't like the way the bed sits at the window.  I would put the head of the bed to the window and the foot away from it, but I love the artwork and I love the room, the bed.  Bed just needs turning.  I guess I should redecorate my house according to everyone else here, but I have a ton of artwork and I do have a canopied bed.  Hmmm.  I removed the canopy and just have the posters at this point.  When I moved, we had trouble getting the canopy to fit in the room that had an architectural bulkhead.  Although we could put it on after it was in place, we just never did.

Have to be odd man out-- love the room.   I'm a fan of both abstract and traditional art of all kinds, and would be thrilled to be surrounded by compelling portraits and landscapes, as pictured.

Love the beams, the sense of history, the view, the architectural lines of the bed, the mellow dresser doing double duty as night stand, the step-stool doing casual duty as a book stand, the way the simple cotton rug "relaxes" the formality.

Unpretentious and appealing, heavily influenced by quirky English country house decorating.

@Oznell  In my bedroom, I have a bed with posters, window nearby but the window does not frame the bed, it is just nearby (triple French window), starts about midway of the bed and is symmetrical to the whole of the room.  I have lots of artwork.  I have a bulkhead and drywall and I use that to frame the bed sotospeak.  It sits under the design of the bulkhead.  I took the canopy off when we moved in, in order to get the bed in place and never put the canopy back on.  It is stored.  But I love lots of light, I love lots of artwork.  I have my childhood dresser on one side of my bed as a nightstand and I have my MIL's library table on the other side as a night stand/desk.  As the woods were not the same, I made a silk cover for the library table which has pleats at the sides and which matches my draperies.  So I could live with this.

i agree with @OKPrincess that it is not warm and inviting.  i probably could sleep there one night in a pinch, but i would not be comfortable.

Nothing over the bead, thanks.

The pictures, especially the portrait of someone sitting in a chair. NO

I like nothing about that room.

The room looks like a museum.  Too creepy for me.   The artwork is too high and uninviting.... and the bed looks very uncomfortable.  Even the flower arrangement looks half dead.

I like the dresser.

I'm in the minority here.  I love that room and would happily sleep in it.  It doesn't look staged to me; it looks like a real room in an old British manor house (or someone's replica of one).

I stayed in a hotel once, when living there, that had been a manor home and the room I got was just as stately as this.  The bed was very comfortable.  I also don't think this is a small space; I think it may appear that way because of the furniture.  Look at the height of the ceilings, the distance from which the photo was taken, the size of those paintings.  And that huge window - to lie in bed and look out upon the scenery outside.

My idea of heaven - except for the heating bills!  But, if I could afford this, I don't guess I'd worry about that.

Your room sounds lovely, @NameAlreadyTaken!

I HATE the room as pictured; strip everything out but a bed that dresser, and rug, and I’m okay with it.
