How to Create a Stunning Guestroom
Written by faith on May 1st, 2009In the photo below is a guest room I designed with a wonderful client, Dee. She frequently has visitors to her home on Lake Union in Seattle. Her warm, engaging personality and stunning home is like a 5 diamond hotel experience.
Here are some of the details that make this guest room special:
- a bench at the foot of the bed
- custom bedcoverings in soothing blues
- wonderful bed linens, extra pillows
- carefully selected accessories (less is more)
- upholstered headboard for comfortable reading
- good bedside lighting and tables nearby
- privacy and light control with custom draperies
- a comfy place to sit and look at the view
- drawer and closet storage nearby
- artwork that complements the room setting

I like the bench at the foot of the bed concept. This seems to be very popular these days. With more rural and rustic interiors, I love the outdoor bench styles being brought in, painted and placed at the end.

Thanks for the comment…yes seating at the foot of the bed is good for guests and also a great resting place for the bedspread. Please keep your comments coming. Ask questions too. Thanks, Faith
