kpvxl senior style editor Stacey Smithers shares exactly how to create a soothing bedroom oasis for guests.
When embellishing our homes, the guestroom is frequently the last area we deal with — as well as I’m no exception! So lately I’ve been dreaming up different schemes to turn my own guest area into an inviting sanctuary for going to buddies as well as family. right here are a few of my preferred ideas.
At the top of my desire list: a statement mural that covers the whole wall behind the bed. I like this beautiful watercolor one, which is a blown-up version of a Ferdinand Hodler landscape.

Products: Lake Thun as well as the Stockhorn Mountains mural, cost varies by size.
With such a statement-making mural in place, I’d paint the rest of the space a soothing shade. best now I’m thinking about Farrow & Ball’s Light Blue, which shows natural light beautifully.

For bedding, I’d like to splurge on a duvet cover stitched from Tonic Living’s Tuscany linen in Aqua, as well as some pillowcases in the Plum as well as Navy colorways. I believe these linens would look fantastic against the watery-toned mural… all soft, rumpled as well as inviting.

Smart bedside storage is one more aspect I’d like to bring in. This nightstand from West Elm has two useful drawers as well as great deals of area to stack books underneath. Ideally, I’d location one on each side of the guest bed.

Laying down a natural-weave rug is a quick as well as simple method to update a space, as well as at just $89, I believe this 6’7″ x 9’10” rug from Ikea is a fantastic buy. Don’t concern if you already have broadloom carpet — a rug such as this will add just the best amount of warmth layered overtop.

Throwing in some vintage illumination would be the ideal final touch in my guestroom. To mix things up, I’d install this anodized-aluminum wall lamp by Phillips on one side, as well as location this Lotte Bostlund lamp on the other.
