Quick guest room makeover ideas
If an out-of-town friend called you today and asked to stay overnight at your home tomorrow, would you panic at the thought of her seeing your guest bedroom? Whether it’s full of hand-me-down stuff from other rooms in the house, or simply feels uninspired, it’s time to freshen things up. We’ve got four incredibly chic, stress free ideas for guest room makeovers. Try these quick fixes now and you’ll be able to entertain with confidence throughout the holidays.
The “collected” look
If you love that artfully mismatched look you’ve seen in magazines, but are nervous about trying it in a high traffic room, the guest bedroom is a great place to experiment. The idea is to decorate walls and surfaces with items you might have collected while traveling or thrifting. For a little inspiration, check out this eclectic bedroom designed by Domicile Interior Design of Huntington Beach, California.
Raid your storage closets for lamps, knickknacks, vases and wall art, and fill in with new pieces as necessary. Mix eras and ethnicities to keep the look fresh and contemporary. A stack of interesting books with bright covers is the perfect finishing touch.
