Guest Room Redesign
by
Vhbungalow
Because there are windows on two of the four walls of this room, it makes furniture placement a bit of a challenge. Eventually I do plan to paint this room, but for now the color red and cream color scheme works with the dark frame of the bed.
*Options I considered for this project:
I positioned the bed in a couple ways, which was a challenge since there are windows on two walls. I prefer to avoid covering up windows, since the light in that room is beautiful in the mornings, and putting a clunky queen sized bed in front of it would detract from the overall aesthetic.
*Questions and unexpected events that arose during the project:
Nothing unexpected, but I am debating what color would work well with these curtains.
*My motivation to do this project:
I rarely use this space, since it's only for the occasional guest, which is why I can't justify spending much money on this project. I do feel like it's still the "black sheep" of my house, so I would love to completely revamp it one day. However, for now, working with the furniture I have already is fine.
*Project Steps:
I moved my red dresser into the room, since it coordinated well with the french style curtain design with red detail. I also hung a mirror over the dresser and hung some extra silver framed art pieces where I could. I would definitely rather purchase something new for this room, but that would depend on what color I eventually paint the walls.
Advice:
Don't: overspend on a room you don't use often.

Classic older homes typically have windows that sit lower on the wall than more modern homes...that alone can add challenges to furniture placement. It looks like you found a nice work around.

Those drapes are interesting, how did you mount them? Placing the bed against the big window wouldn’t be so bad. The headboard is airy. Incorporate the windows into the headboard? If done right that can be a cool effect, keeping the great natural light.
