Office/guest room ideas
I posted this on some of the design categories. It wouldn't let me include KT. So I'm posting it here also to see what you all think. :)
I'm decorating a small room for my MIL (a room in her house). I included a picture of the color. We're using white trim and painting the door white also. I was thinking of using whites and silvers for decorations. I wanted to change out the outlets and light switches to white and use silver or nickle plates. She wants it to be an office but also a guest room. So I wanted to put a nice desk and a chair or love seat with a pull out bed. I also was thinking of a small book shelf. I have a lot of ideas and am trying to figure out what would look nice. Sorry if my thoughts are all over.
So for a desk I was thinking maybe silver or glass and metal. I found a desk (pic below). I like that it has small filing cabinet drawers. It's just an idea. I've seen desks similar to this but without the drawers. I was thinking if I get something without the drawers maybe I can put a nice lateral filing cabinet? I think she may get more use out of a bookshelf. I just want to make sure she has a place for papers and such.
Here is a picture of the light I already bought.
We were thinking of floating faux wood flooring. I was thinking of a brown to warm up the room a bit.
I was wanting opinions on the floor color, chair/loveseat colors and options, curtains, and possibly a small rug for the floor. She also already has a octagonal shape silver mirror that I think would look good in the room. I would like to put a few pictures also. Also any opinions and thoughts on what I've put above would be greatly appreciated. :)

Comments (17)I do like it, and if you and mil like it that's the most important thing. I found this photo that really shows how good this colour green looks with natural, mid-tone wood. I don't love everything about it but see how the wood and green just compliment each other so nicely? The silver is definitely nice too, and if you go with it I would do black or blonde wood floors with black and white rugs. The rugs could be geometric design, stripes, zebra, whatever. Then use black for the bookshelves, silvery grey for upholstery. It would be a very glamourous room so I'm not sure it would be conducive to your mil's intended purpose (devotion, prayer, and entertaining guests)....See MoreOffice/guest room IDEAS needed
Comments (1)I like the three you posted together, but I’d remove the one already on the wall. That one doesn’t blend....See MorePaint Color Ideas- Office Guest Room Combo
Comments (3)Creamy by Sherwin Williams will look great in there. It’s a nice cream that doesn’t read yellow. Or you can go with a white (extra White by SW or Chantilly Lace by BM). Sample it first, though. Buy a small sample and paint a large piece of foam core or Sheetrock, so you can move it around the room....See MoreHelp with floorplan for Laundry Room - Office - Guest Half-bathroom
Comments (27)Do you have an elevation drawing of that stairwell in the living area? Seems the space under the stair landings could be better incorporated in your effort to locate the powder room, or at least the hot water, accessing from the closet by the entry and moving the sloset to the living room side. On another subject, am I mis-reading or are there bi-fold doors by the tub in the main bath? Looks like there are windows in the WIC. I would rather have windows in the bath and walk through the closet to get there than have to walk through the bath to retrieve clothing; not convenient if there is someone using the bath. That pantry at the foot of the stairs looks like a good spot for a stacking WD. I'd want it configured to vent out an exterior wall, using pullout pantries in the kitchen so that space could be the laundry. But first I'd move that big bath's footprint to the deck end of the space so the closet could be in the master....See MoreHareball
