All rooms have a unique style with different decorations, frescoes and a personal theme. One of the most intricately designed rooms is Room 201 L!, where white walls are covered with a monochrome, black and white theme. Another curious room is Room 208 L!, painted in golden colours that remind one of the autumn season. Room 301 is an organic room, painted in both smooth and shiny colours, while Room 303 is solely dedicated to airport symbolism.

Most rooms have a common theme. Even the name of the hotel, Bloom!, hints at what one will be able to see there, so it comes as no surprise that most rooms have murals depicting different flowers. Some murals in some rooms are conceptual art, while others have a more minimalist style or a fantasy theme. All rooms have been designed by students from ELIA, the European League of the Institutes of the Arts, an organization which works with more than 350 art schools in around fifty different countries. The walls are covered in frescoes, pictures or graffiti of flowers, plants, symbolism or curious designs. Even the smallest details follow each room’s theme, since the tea cups in each room also have a similar design to the rooms.
