My thoughts on the interior design choices of the #BTS_BE rooms.
Namjoon's room is a mid-century modern design, think 1940s/1950s Mad Men style. The design is clean and minimalist, using organic colors and shapes, inspired from Eastern interior design. +

Namjoon chose his Be@rbricks to match the mid-century modern style, sticking with sleek figurines with a wooden finish, instead of anything else in the widely varied collection. The natural and organic figurines fit perfectly in the room. +
Namjoon is a long-time fan of Mark Rothko, whose abstract paintings of color evoke strong emotions. The painting at the back of the room remind me of one of Rothko's sunset paintings, seen on the right here. He painted it in 1953, right in the mid-century modern design period. +
The room also evokes inspiration from Eastern design. In particular, the bonsai, the door shape, and the light panels in the back remind me of Japanese minimalist interior design. +
Seokjin's room is very much 1920s art-deco interior design, with abstract modernist accents from the 1960s art-deco revival. It's all about luxury, symmetry, and outrageous shapes, think Great Gatsby meets futuristic glassware. +

The clam shell couch Seokjin chose is quintessential art-deco, it has the fanning structure so popular in 1920s architecture and interior design! It is also a staple of the glamorous classic Hollywood style. +
In the 1960s, art-deco underwent a revival, where the style was incorporated in abstract art pieces. Seokjin chose the glassware in the room, like the chandelier and lamp, as more modern pieces, which took the luxury of art-deco with a modernist abstract twist! +
Yoongi's room doesn't reference a distinct style from what I can tell. I'd say it is of the transitional interior design style: while the room/doors have a traditional design, the furniture is modern and minimalist +

The walls of Yoongi's room are definitely in the traditional style, they look like 18th or 19th century European decor, with its moldings and double doors. The color palette is usually shades of monochrome, with a soft natural color. Yoongi chose blue.+
The furniture reminds me of modern Scandinavian minimalism. Scandinavian interior design likes to play with textures and materials, and I think Yoongi's gorgeous choice to mix soft velvet and metallic chrome shows that perfectly! +
My favorite part of the room (apart from the chrome paint in the couch that reminds me of his painting!) is this amazing hanging lamp. Yoongi chose this infinite loop lamp as a wonderful example of the abstract minimalism blended into the traditional decor. +
Hobi's room is so colorful! It pretty much screams post-modern 60s-70s interior design meets pop art! The post-modern style plays with wild combinations of colors, textures and materials, including plastics, to create a vibrant and dynamic space, just like Hobi! +

The walls, lamps and couch give me a big post-modern vibe. Hobi chose an inflatable vibrant pink couch, and it looks incredible! Although it's actually plastic, it reminds me of metallic sculptures from famous post-modern artist Jeff Koons, that give the illusion of plastic. +
The walls of Hobi's room are covered with colorful pattern, word and drawing prints. These prints are inspired by pop-art (popular print art), which flourished in the 60s-70s, when post-modern design was the trend! Famous pop-artists include Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein +
Jimin's room is so elegant and classy. The interior design is of the modern baroque style, think a stripped down, sleeker version of the Versailles palace, reminiscent of 17th-18th century French decor. +
#JIMIN @BTS_twt
#JIMIN @BTS_twt
Jimin chose a room with very simple walls and door, with elegant regal furnishing. This is a trademark of the modern baroque style, which has simple room architecture with luxurious French baroque furniture to contrast it. +
The couch Jimin is sitting on and side tables are modernized baroque, with floral ornaments, beautifully complemented by the real flowers surrounding him. The padding pattern on the couch, and its winged shape, are also typical of the baroque style (Versailles on the right). +
Taehyung's room is similar in style to Jimin's, but it's even more stripped down European decor. I'd probably put it as 'shabby chic' interior design, with its vintage French feel. The luxurious couch (and Tae) stands out amidst rustic vintage decor. +

Taehyung chose his room to have a distinct rustic vintage feel, and I think that's very him! The wallpaper, dark brown side tables, ornament violins on the wall definitely give off a vintage vibe. +
The couch Taehyung chose is baroque style. You can recognize the style by its flower ornaments and winged shape. It's a beautiful regal gold and red velvet, adding a luxurious accent to tie the room together. +
Even the chandelier chosen by Taehyung, although a classy piece, looks very rustic vintage, not like the extravagant usual French baroque pieces! It evokes simplicity and comfort while remaining sleek and classy: shabby chic. +
Jungkook's room is pretty amazing, and it is industrial interior design. The industrial style has urban/factory vibes, clean, masculine and minimal. Think modern steampunk! +
#JUNGKOOK @BTS_twt

One of the signatures of the industrial style is the use of reclaimed machinery as decor. Jungkook's stacks of speakers behind him are a prime example of that element. A popular item used is particularly gears or clocks, merging the steampunk style with modern furniture. +
Jungkook chose a leather couch and a cozy rug to complement the industrial feel of his room. The leather couch is a prime element of the more masculine "man cave" industrial style. It's also a modern couch design, adding to the sleek look of the room. +
All the rooms are so personalized to each member and use beautiful elements of interior design to bring out their individual moods and personalities, I love it! These are just my personal thoughts, let me know if you have different vibes/ideas from these rooms!
Addendum: Risti here made a great observation about Yoongi's choice of couch! https://twitter.com/RistiTweets/status/1325864954159828994
