Help with Guest Room

Hi, Could someone give me a few ideas for completing my guest room. The bed is navy blue and the walls are light grey. I want it to be very feminine and "glam" but this is more overwhelming than I originally thought. Also, don't want to spend a ton on the guest room. A few questions: 1) any suggestions on what I can use to put the cable box on after I mount the tv. The issue is that there is only about 3 feet and 3 inches between the end of the bed and the wall so i can't put a big bulky dresser there. 2) does anyone have a suggestion for a night stand that's not mirrored that still looks very feminine. 3) Any suggestions on what to put on the wall above the bed. There is a lot of wall! I already plan to put a sunburst mirror on another wall in the room. Thanks so much for any help! :)

Comments (4)I believe you posted in another forum, asking for layout advice of the bedroom, but I can't find that now. Can you tell me what is to the right of that right door? I am concerned that your stated desire to have this room be functional for a family needing services at your local Children's hospital is not in alignment with your current plan for the room... for example, I'd want to see at least the size/wall space for a queen or full bed PLUS another twin or bunk bed system......See MoreNeed Help with Guest Room

Comments (9)I'd repaint the walls - they look like a grey with green undertones? I think I see that color in the rug, but I'd like to see them white. Then I'd probably lean on the white and blue for bedding, as Jan showed. A lighter rattan/wicker bench might work with your chandelier and blinds. By lighter, I mean no darker than your chandelier beads. I'd also choose lamps with a white ceramic base. The current lamps are pretty but very much fade away. A white base could help brighten the tables. Otherwise, try adding a few white vases, accents you might already have to help lighten the tables. Polished or brushed nickel pulls might lighten them too while working with your rug. Big box stores often have some pretty choices....See MoreNeed help with guest room finishing touches please
Comments (1)For lamps, I’d go with square. I think that shape works better with your nightstands and they need to be much taller. You want the light to fall on the bed so that if someone where in bed reading, the light would fall on the book. I’d pull your bedspread all the way up. Lay your shams down flat(so you can see more of the headboard), remove the trellis patterned ones (too overpowering) and then just place the lumbar pillow in front of the shams. Get rid of the matching mirror and go with something more unusual with a blue frame. Add a white vanity tray to the dresser to break up some of the wood then place art over desk but I would do a set of four....See More- PRO

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI wouldn't add anything above the bed, but instead add two prints one above the other over the bedside table. See idea in pic #1 for table..a dyi project and it matches your headboard. Or make the room more practical by adding a desk type table (and chair) and glam it up - even if you have to move the bed over slightly. You can look for second hand furniture that you can paint white. Adding a great chandlier will finish off the room - one below is $100 but I've seen these for a bit less. [houzz=];[h[houzz=

9 years agoI have a feeling there is a better placement for the bed. maybe against the window. That said the bed is gorgeous ad the colors very pretty. I would do some mirrored nightsand, and a chair

9 years agoHi Freechils:
I did a mock up of your guest room that features a glam and cozy space. First of all, I would highly recommend pushing the bed up against the wall. There is no point in having a little space in between...unless you like a hole that eats up your pillows, remote and reading glasses. :) It will also buy you a foot on the outside which will make the room feel larger. A large art piece over the bed will draw you into a restful retreat. A perfect enclave for visiting family and friends! Accent it with a nice end table accessorized with pieces that tie in with your palette and send out the invites! I have also attached a pretty wall shelf solution for your television set up...this one is Pottery Barn and comes in several sizes and finishes. Have fun!
