Queen bed small guest room - how should I style modern country?

Coloured Shiplap Wallpaper behind bed. Use one of the colours in wallpaper for other walls. Choose another of the colours as Bedding and Lampshade.

I love the bed! Position the bed off center from the largest wall leaving enough room for a small round end table in the corner. A large oval mirror on the short wall will reflect light. A linen curtain hung 4" from the ceiling to the floor over the window will give height to the room. Layer your bedding to include an old country quilt and several pillows. Wooden shelving will bring in the country feel you're looking for. Have fun. Best of luck.

The bed really needs to be placed in front of the window in order to give the room a focal point as you enter. Here's a photo that will help you with your project ✅

Gerberryful my photos are at the top

@Barb, unfortunately I can't fit the bed in the centre of the window because it blocks the doorway so I can't close the door. I could put it to the left of the window or across the window. Both looked odd, but what do you suggest?( The bed is too big for the room but the only one we have and we don't have it in our budget to get another bed at the moment.)

My photos are at the top. Below is the layout.

Would it work if you made it a day bed? Turn the bed around so that the pretty wrought iron bedhead becomes the 'armrest'. A bolster and lots of cushions up against the wall.

I tried it but the bedhead is a little too high for an armrest. Once I get some more pillows and white curtains. I will post up and you can let me know what you think👌

Here's another thought. Since the door-opening is what's preventing from centering the bed under the window (which I think would look best), how about replacing your swinging-door with one of those folding-panel doors? There are some very nice-looking ones available now, and they don't take up any interior bedroom space at all. You can also perceptually reduce the size of the bed by taking off the headboard, and just using heaps of pillows as a pseudo-headboard. I think the suggestion of adding a mirror is a great one, as is using quilty-style bedding.

Take the headboard off. Sit bed on the frame only. Center it under the window like a daybed. Room for small tables on either side. Possibly room for small dressing table or chest on wall behind door. I think once you get the layout set you can let your imagination run with decorating. Let us see what you come up with!

i know everyone seems to be hung up on the layout. No headboard (if possible) would be my first try. BUT you originally asked for,help to make it modern country. I would do a ship lap effect on the big wall oppposite the wall the door opens not. Side tables can be a simple shelf or crate that is hung on the wall. They don't have to sit on the floor. That would be a beginning. Good luck.

Get a smaller mattress. Look on facebook yardsales. They are free most of the time

Since the bed seems to be a big problem, I would look for a sleeper sofa for that room. I have seen sleeper sofas for free on craigslist.com and freecycle.com in my area. Check these sites plus some other sites in your area.....you might get lucky and find what you want for free or very little money. Don't forget about Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat For Humanity, and other thrift shops. It seems that every solution that was mentioned to help you solve your problem wouldn't work with the exception of a mirror or shelves. I know this situation is very frustrating for you. You might ask family and friends if they know of any person who wants to get rid of a sleeper sofa. I wish you only the best in solving this problem. Kudos!

Why not get a different bed frame , you should be able to find one at a second hand store or Habitat for Humanity has retail outlets. Also is it possible to fix the door soo that it opens out instead of in?

If you had the funds and ability, I would forgo to current headboard, then create a wooden headboard that was basically a box so it had a shelf on top, but also allowed for a backrest for you and/or pillows. Then you could use the shelf for a small lamp, books and whatevers. 10" would probably be wide enough. You could even have storage on the side. Something like this picture. http://www.ikea.com/ms/media/seorange/20173/20151_beca11a_headboards_PE370712.jpg This one if from IKEA.

Put it under the window, length wise, but not up against the wall. Add to the window sill, to make it deeper, to hold a lamp, cup, book , etc. Or even make a slim 'table' like you can put behind a couch. Make it the same height as the window sill, but maybe the same length as the mattress, so there aren't a bunch of different sight lines. If there isn't enough room to leave the existing curtains, [so they can be used] try cafe style with a tension rod inside the window frame.

Try the mirror idea on the opposite wall and add one to the inside of the door itself. Maybe even the same size mirrors, so it looks pleasing on the inside of the room. Maybe there will be room for a small corner shelf on that same wall?

On my doors, I can unscrew the door hinges and move the door forward- about an inch over a strip of wood that goes down the center of the door frame. Attach to the other side of the wooden strip and the door will open into your hallway instead of opening into your bedroom. So you can center the bed sideways in front of your window. Is this doable?

This is it with the quilt and my two horse sketch cushions. I will place some bigger neutral cushions behind. I can attach a bedside lamp to the head rail. A mirror on the large side wall that is opposite the wall on the side of the bed? 3 small paintings above the bedhead? Or on the wall the bed is against?

This is the view walking into the room

Rocking chair? Or no?

Ok so my hubby is too busy to reassemble so I worked with what I had. I got a canvas from the reject shop of a vineyard because we live in wine country. I still have to get it up on the wall but it creates depth like a mirror as suggested. I have a country quilt on the bed, bought two ruffled white cushions, put in my rocking chair and a throw I had. Next I will change the curtains and put a soft lambswool rug on the floor. I still have to get a lightshade. I put towels and toiletries on the bed end and a wreath above the bed. Behind the door I placed a chalkboard heart to write welcome and the guests names on. Any other ideas?

Shabby chic rocking chair with throw and Canadian artist horse sketch cushion and some country decor magazine and regional guide.

Willow tree wreath a friend gave me and two quality ruffled white cushions I purchased to bring out the whites in the quilt.

Vineyard canvas from Reject shop $25 and white towels with toiletries on the bed end.

Chalkboard heart to write "welcome" and guests name on it on back of door.

Modern country sounds confining. Do something classic. A nice bed and bed spread, some pillows and neutral curtains and paint.

With a large bed and a small room you definitely have limited options. I would put the bed next to the window with the headboard on the left wall. Plan on entering the bed from only one side until you can get something smaller. By moving the bed you will be able to add an end table next to the bed and possibly a dresser, bookcase or desk on the wall next to the door. Country styling has a lot do do with the fabrics and other materials (such as wood or straw) that you use.
