Design Ideas: Guest Bedrooms

Welcome guests into a comfortable and gracious guest room. An added perk: If you're not expecting company, you'll still be able to enjoy a luxurious space to kick off your shoes and stay awhile. So, be the host with the most, and try any of these easy designs.

  1. Traditionally Modern

    If you own an upstairs bedroom, convert it into a guest room that exudes both a traditional and modern feel through warm, wood panels. Mix it up with a few modern items to create a funky look. Try accessories in red metal or a vintage iron bed, as well as coverlets, pillowcases, and bed skirts in your favorite color combination.

  2. It's Always Sunny

    If you're guest room is blessed with light, open those windows for a sunny guest retreat. Apply paint in cheerful colors, like light yellows and layer the room with florals. Match your headboard with your bed skirt and wall sconce for a grand statement.

  3. Luxurious Getaway

    Position your bed facing the window and take advantage of any amazing view you may have. Think: soft palettes in caramel, cafe au lait, and gold, as well as plush carpets for a tranquil, luxurious feel.

  4. Electric Feel

    Don't be afraid to mix and match. Dress up vintage beds in linens of similar shades. Add color to the room with a rug and vintage prints on the wall. Style Trend: Hang a group of framed prints on the wall (They don't have to be inexpensive.) for more impact.

  5. Versatile Space

    Maximize small spaces with a Murphy bed that folds up to reveal an open living area. When folded, draw curtains across the cubby. Install large mirrors to open up the area and utilize furniture that doubles up as storage space.

The ideal guest room is like a comfy couch. It's a multifunctional room that can be used to sit on or sleep on; It's for napping, reading, study, TV, play, and more.
