Guest Room Refresh Plan and Ideas

Our guest room started out very basic and very boring: a mattress and box spring, a basic bed frame, a dresser and boring night stands.

It was completely lacking in style, comfort and functionality.

1. The first decorating decision

The first decorating decision I made was to decide on the look and style that I wanted this room to embrace.

I decided on a chic elegant vacation getaway style with a light, bright modern coastal look.

I wanted neutral bones with pops of indigo and watery blue accent colors.

And for our guests to feel like they’ve escaped to a beach house or vacation home retreat!

2. Determine the room’s functions

Next, I created a list of functions I wanted this space to have:

  • comfortable sleeping
  • good lighting for reading in bed
  • storage for clothes
  • a spot to sit

Then I made a list of what I needed to add to the room to achieve these functions and create a cozy space!

  1. upholstered bed
  2. 2 night stands
  3. 2 table lamps
  4. curtains
  5. wall art
  6. accessories
  7. paint the walls

3. Neutral Wall Color For The Bedroom

Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray is the color we choose for this room.

It’s a gorgeous warm gray color that pairs beautifully with white, blue, ivory, beige and other neutrals.

4. Guest Room Refresh – New Bed

The first thing my guest room needed was a neutral colored bed to create a focal point and add comfort.

A mattress on a basic frame just doesn’t scream ‘Welcome to our home’!

I chose an upholstered bed (instead of a wood or metal bed) to add lots of comfort to the room.

5. Nightstands

Nightstands are important for your guests to set a drink, for their devices and to display table lamps.

For an elegant coastal look I selected light wood end tables.

If you need additional storage choose a nightstand with 1 or 2 drawers.

You can also select nightstands that have builtin chargers for devices!

6. Chic Blue And White Bedding

A bedroom refresh isn’t complete without new bedding!

Duvet Cover and Sham Set

This duvet cover and sham set is absolutely breathtaking.

It has so many beautiful colors in it that you can pull from to use as accent colors: dark blue, light blue, ivory and sandy beige.

This duvet cover and shams wash like a dream and are so soft!

This beautiful medallion print is so classic and timeless

Euro Shams

I also love adding Euro shams to our beds .

They add an extra layer of comfort and are a great way to add more style, pattern and color to the room.

Gorgeous blue and white euro shams add a touch of blue to the bed and coordinate with the blue and white wall art for a stylish, pulled together look!

7. Guest Room Refresh Wall Art Ideas

Wall art is such an easy way to decorate empty wall space, add style and color!

I added two framed wall art prints on each side of the window.

These coral prints are out of stock.

Here are some other beautiful options:

8. Decorative Accents

Next step is to accessorize!

This is the final step and a very important layer to a room!

Decorative accents fill in empty spaces and are a fabulous way to add texture, personality and coziness to a room.

Add a potted faux or real tree.

I love faux olive trees and fiddle leaf fig trees.

Decorate the dresser with candle holders and battery operated candles for ambiance.
