The room had dark brown bookshelves and pinkish walls when I first saw it. I painted everything white and took all the curtains off the windows to celebrate the very California view of palm tree tops. This has quickly become one of my favorite rooms in the house!
As you can see, the dark brown bookshelves were a total drag in this room that offers amazing natural light!
Ta-da! White bookshelves plus 1950s vintage highboy dressers by Heywood Wakefield make for stylish storage!
This gorgeous bedding was gifted to me from my friend Hilde Leiaghat from her company Pom Pom at Home. I picked out my favorites and before I knew it, she had it sent to me! I purchased the linen covered bed (from her collection) to match. Love!
This is the Oslo 100% stonewashed cotton coverlet collection, which you can shop by clicking here. I love the adorable geometric petal pattern that adds texture and dimension to any bed!
This is a king size mattress from Bed In A Box, which has been comfortable and enjoyable for all of my guests!
I bought these architectural prints that are displayed above the bed in England years ago at a flea market in Notting Hill. I love that my loved ones can now enjoy them!
This is the COCOCOZY Fence Rug in Natural Linen — which is on sale for 20% off! This makes a great staple in any bedroom. You can shop it by clicking here.
I love a good guest corner! This is the Dorset Bench with Nailheads from Serena & Lily, which you can check out by clicking here. Add a couple of pillows and a a throw — and you’re all set!
The bookshelves have a lot of personal items and books, which I think is a fun way for guests to get a sense of who I am! I’ve added random little things I love like this quote (above) and also a strange black wooden decoy (duck) that I bought at the flea market! TBD if my visitors are charmed or totally freaked out! Ha!
I’m proud to share this space with my family and friends. With that said… I’m now accepting guests — who wants to sign up?!
Like I’ve mentioned, I really aim to add a few thoughtful touches here and there to make visitors feel special and comfortable. Here are a few items that will make your overnight guests feel right at home (below)!
Having a luggage rack makes unpacking easy and accessible for your guests! I also leave fresh, fluffy towels on the bed so they don’t have to go searching. I love creating a tray of goodies like bottled or sparkling water and toiletries that they may have forgotten in their packing. Lotions, soap, mints, razors, etc. are always good to have on hand! Finally, I’ll spritz the room with a fresh scent to make it extra inviting!
Hope you’re inspired to turn your guest bedroom into a full-out travel destination!
Happy Thursday!
