wooden bedroom is an epitome of an earthy interior decor, and it’ s no less earthy when the design is modern. The world has a new fascination with creative wooden interiors, and finding out how creative some architects can be is even more fascinating than wood itself. Take a look at this collection of timber bedrooms, from renowned architects and designers around the world, which showcase timber at its best.
THE HIPSTER BEDROOM
We start with this awesome bedroom design by Polish architecture firm, Plasterlina. The wooden canopy bed with built-in bookshelves is the centrepiece, of course, but also note the built-in window nook and a giant mirror.

ALPINE CHIC BEDROOM DESIGN
A four-poster bed with a warm fur blanket – what can be better for an Alpine-style bedroom? Awesome wooden beams give this design by Swiss firm, Bagno Sasso, a backto-nature feel. This bedroom is part of a development called Alpine Chic – and they have captured the essence of that idea perfectly. The beauty here is that even though you could say that this design is quite extravagant with its bold, unusual canopy bed and luscious furs, it’ s also very welcoming and relaxing – a combination that is very attractive but not so easy to achieve.
