Today I am sharing one of my favorite rooms in my home, our guest room, which I think has become one of my favorite rooms because as inviting as I designed it to be for our guests, it is not a ‘lived in’ room per say with all the personal items that can sometimes clutter our own bedrooms… so like an air bnb feel – I was able to create a pretty room with personal touches, yet have it always remain clean and without clutter, which is a look I really love. I also did not have to design it around any particular individual and could have full reign to design it how I wanted it to look and feel – which is super fun and a rare experience with design!

I began designing the room with a pretty white comforter from Amazon with teal, gray and yellow accents and bird and floral details. I usually start with one inspiration piece, and then build my decor out from there, and this comforter was my starter piece. I had the twin bed on hand from my daughter’s previous furniture set, so that was covered, as well as the large entertainment cabinet that we actually designed and built many years ago for a product display piece at a regional trade show for our journal business. I hung a pretty floral artwork piece onto the cabinet, and staged with various coordinating decor pieces, and a television with Apple TV so our guests could feel relaxed and right at home. I added in an antique dresser and hanging rack for their clothes, along with a refinished antique desk and desk chair, with a sweet new journal and wifi password plaque. I also made sure to have extra cozy touches sprinkled in with bedside table lamps, a throw blanket, candles, a full-length mirror, and a basket of fresh bath towels ready for their stay.
I love how this guest bedroom turned out, and we have been fortunate enough to welcome two different guests in the last year who each stayed 2-3 weeks and felt very at home, having their own private room within our home.
I selected all the links for exact or similar pieces that I used in this room on my Amazon shop for your easy shopping ~ enjoy decorating!
