Decorating a Multi-functional Guest Room: ONH Sourcing Series 5

Posted on May 24, 2014 by M+D | 0 comments

There are so many different ways to decorate a guest room and I am sure I will post about this more times to come but for today I am going to envision my perfect guest room: one that functions as a room you actually want to go into when there is no said guest around. In comes my reading room by day and guest room by night! The photo I have chosen today comes from the rowhousenest blog and it is pretty close to my dream loft-type reading room/nook that could totally double as a place for friends and loved ones to crash. A small room doesn't have to feel tight when it has lots of white mixed with subtle colors and minimalistic accent pieces.

1. Light throw rugs. Whether you are into the tribal rug or just lightly colored rug look, a little minimalistic type of carpet can truly make a space feel welcoming and comfortable. Worn rugs, blanched in color, or simple in design rugs, we have many to choose from but these little Turkish rugs are my favorite for this type of neutral look.

2. Pillows and more pillows! Tribal and neutral would be my pick to match this look!

3. Sketch art next to colorful art. Love it! A light simple drawing next to something that packs a punch of color.

4. Child's chair with character. Just kind of fun in any kind of space is an antique or vintage child's chair. It is small enough that you don't have to commit to it and a big enough of a decor staple that you can put something on it or have it be a focal point of the room.
