My lovely home came with 3 bedrooms, one more than I needed. I use one for storage and I hope to use the other as a guest bedroom some day. Considering I'm starting from scratch, it's going to take a while. So, to start off on the right foot, I've been collecting inspiration to help guide me to a beautiful end result.
When I think of a guest bedroom, I think of a few key words: comfortable, clean, classic, and relaxing. I don't want a room where someone is afraid to climb into bed. A guest bedroom is supposed to be a home away from home! I would also like to use a teal/aquamarine/blue color in the room as I can't include that color in my own guest bedroom. So here are a few inspiration bedrooms:
I love the upholstered headboard look as well as the color combinations in these pictures. Texture and a mix of patterns creates interest but using the right materials, I think I can make it comfortable. I think the colors are calming as well. I would be more than happy to stay in any of these rooms!
Once I gathered the big picture, I attempted to start looking at the details. I knew that I wanted to do an upholstered bed and started off in search of a fabric. I came across this beauty and knew it would give me the look I wanted:
It has all the colors I want to include and a classic pattern that gives a luxury look. From there, I've gathered a few pieces to continue the look! Some of these I have purchased, some are just inspiration.

I want to have pops of color in the pillows and accessories. The headboard is going to be large and include pattern and color, so I want the other pieces to have more texture and pattern. This is all still a big work in process! It would probably go a lot quicker if I had furniture, but that's neither here nor there!
Do you have any ideas to share? Have you been dreaming about your guest bedroom too? Feel free to leave a comment and let me know!
“I don't want a room where someone is afraid to climb into bed.” A bedroom should be a place where you can relax and relieve the stresses of the day, and the design inspirations you chose definitely give off that feeling. I love lying down on a big comfortable bed with a huge pile of pillows at the end of the day. Instead of the upholstered headboard though, I dream of having a four-poster bed in the middle of a room with warm colors.

That sounds equally relaxing! I think the materials really help give that warmth factor, no matter the color.
