30 Nightmare-Inducing Pics Of Terrifying Bedrooms, As Shared On This Hilarious Facebook Group (New Pics)

As legend has it, the Bedrooms With Threatening Auras group emerged in October 2020 and has since flourished, amassing a community of 48,617 members so far. The group welcomes individuals from all walks of life who are interested in sharing images of exceptionally dreadful bedrooms - a colorful addition to the already vast family of 'cursed' things, ranging from cursed commodes to t-shirts.

The Bedrooms With Threatening Auras group garnered its success by refusing to tiptoe around its content for newcomers. As soon as you enter, the first and paramount rule clarifies the group's purpose: "It's called 'Bedrooms with Threatening Auras,' not 'Pleasant bedrooms from Google'." Unsurprisingly, their content might not be for the faint of heart.

In order to learn what it takes for our own bedrooms to not appear on one of these lists, Bored Panda reached out to Lisa Gilmore, an award-winning interior designer, who was happy to list the deadly interior sins people commit when planning out their bedrooms.

According to her, choosing a rug that's too tiny for your bedroom is a big no. "A general rule is to have your area rug at least as wide as the total distance of your bed, plus your nightstands, then to extend out from the footboard at least 12 inches," Gilmore explained in an email. "You don't want a rug that is out of scale for the room, an area rug is a great tool to ground a space and make it feel more comfortable. It's also a trick for making the room feel bigger too!"

Speaking about that Twin Peaks color palette (an average bedroom consumer will most likely try to steer as far away as possible), Gilmore suggests going with a color or a combination of some that are closest to your heart. "I always suggest people pick colors or patterns in their spaces that they truly love, if you follow your heart with those two items, you likely can't really go wrong."

She also adds that if choosing a color mix is too much of a commitment for your nerves - it's not like we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, right? - you can always rely on a monochromatic palette. "It could be a room with varying shades of white, but you don't have to be limited there, varying shades of blue, green or pink could also be really lovely for a bedroom," Gilmore said.
