The bedroom is the most personal space in a home (and potentially the most luxurious, if sleep is a priority). In this roundup of bedrooms from the Remodelista Architect/Designer Directory, we visit a range of approaches. For some architects and designers, it's about the purity of the space, where the architecture takes the top note; for others, it's more about the soft finishes and the actual art of making a good bed. To see more spaces, visit the Bedroom Gallery on the Remodelista Architect/Designer Directory.
