Dream bedroom schemes from decades past

It's the room in the house where we go to relax and unwind. A bedroom is a personal space and the way it's decorated often shows off a little bit of who we are. That's probably why it feels so nostalgic to revisit a childhood bedroom or see a bedroom decorating scheme you loved when you were younger.
