While the idyllic Tennessee River views this Southern premier property has to offer are a sight to behold, the house’s interior is equally magnificent. Situated on over 26 acres, quality workmanship and natural wood and stone finishes are evident at every turn, including in the seven bedrooms. Take the spacious primary bedroom, for instance: the soft color scheme instantly provides a soothing setting, and the grand hotel-style bed is a plush haven. And with the fireplace and cozy sitting area, winding down for the evening is easy.

A bedroom should be a personal sanctuary, whose aesthetics and fixtures can impact sleep quality. Whether through color, technology, streamlined décor, lighting, or the type of bed itself, the sleeping quarters in these five homes demonstrate that there are plenty of ways to turn any bedroom into a blissful space that inspires rest.
