Go Matchy-Matchy
If you’re trying to fit as many guests as you can, which is the case at Country Living Editor-in-Chief Rachel Barrett’s Mississippi hunting lodge, give your twin beds a pulled-together feel with matching bedding. Change up the boudoir pillows on each bed for a personalized touch.
Layer on the Colorful Quilts
Go Wild for Wallpaper
This guest bedroom’s foliage wallpaper fits right into a Virginia cottage‘s mountain setting. Homeowner Amy Whyte layered in patterned linens in a burnt-orange-and-denim color palette to give the space that “perfectly put together” feel.
Add Pops of Green
We love seeing all the pops of green—a totally on-trend hue—in this calm and collected guest room. Fun patterns and a mix of textures play nicely with the more traditional bed frame and art work.
Pretty It up with Paint
Want to take plain-jane bunk beds to the next level? Take a note out of this Missouri lakeside cabin‘s playbook and paint them a fun shade! Here, Behr’s “Submarine Gray” sets a slightly nautical tone.
Go for Statement Bedding
Go Pretty & Primal
Texas designer Claire Zinnecker masterfully balances pretty and primal throughout her 1898 Folk Victorian. In the guest room, we love the way her rustic, unfinished walls look with her feminine bedding. Plus, the antique double wedding ring quilt was sewn by her grandmother!
Add a Loveseat
Whether for man’s best friend or just another sitting option, adding a couch to a guest bedroom will make for a homey touch.
Summer Tones
Consider this guest bedroom a lesson in breezy decor. A bamboo headboard and antique quilt are complemented by turquoise furnitures and cabbageware.
Bed Bench
Adding a bench or ottoman at the end of the guest bedroom bed is a great item for your company to use for their luggage or other belongings.
Wrought-Iron Bed Frame
Nothing says farmhouse like a beautiful wrought-iron bed frame to create a peaceful retreat for your guests.
All-American Accents
Functional Storage
Consider extra-long bedside tables (also used as dressers) to offer visitors more storage and space for their belongings. Layering in a wall-mounted sconce (as opposed to a lamp) also frees up some much-needed space.
Sign-Inspired Decor
The owner of this Texas home drew inspiration for her bedroom from the vintage sign that hangs overhead. Displayed against a custom-blue wall, the sign‘s black-and-white combo is reinforced by a stacked nightstand featuring a white trunk and black toolbox.
Saltbox Style
DIY Shiplap Walls
Apply simple rows of shiplap halfway up the wall and top with a moulding piece for a similar look. Layer on the cozy bedding and you’ll have a nautical-inspired room in no time.
Curate an Antique-Styled Guest Bedroom
Take a cue from your locale and shop nearby antiques stores for vintage maps, charts, and other navigation-related art to help accessorize the guest bedroom.
Create an Attic Bedroom
The third-story guest suite in this 1700s New York farmhouse creates a cozy home for items culled from local estate sales, including the spool bed and sweet framed needlepoint. Neutral striped bedding adds another layer of visual interest in the wood-laden guest room.
Let Your Milk Paint Lead
Green was the last color that the homeowners of a New Hampshire farmhouse had in mind for room, but when they removed the wallpaper and discovered a verdant shade of milk paint, they knew it was meant to be. To keep the focus on the green, they added a simple pair of antique twin beds and one of the couple’s many vintage wool rugs.
