Ask any homeowner about their experiences in decorating their guest bedrooms and they would be narrating a horrific story of how they have tried to pull the best that they could but ended up with something that they could not even dream about. This is so because guest bedrooms are tricky. Even the best interior designers have to spend more time and effort in designing these rooms. Your own bedroom can be designed according to your taste and personality. However, with guest bedrooms, you are not allowed such freedom. You have to make sure that the bedroom appeals to everyone and provides you the right look and feel. Let us have a look at a very cozy bedroom design idea that would definitely make it a hit.

Cozier Guest Bedroom

  • Start with the walls. Make them oyster grey or deeper and darker shades of whites. This is one color that can never go wrong in any room. Avoid off white at any cost. It makes the room look empty and doesn’t generally cast a very favorable impression on someone who has to live in it, even for a day. Darker or warmer shades of white are more appealing to everyone. Plus, it would go well with the rest of the theme.
  • The theme of the room would be white and deep grey. Remember, you have to focus on grey furniture and white furnishings or vice versa. The bed would be coming in with a white textured headboard which would also be replicated on the inside plank of the wall units. The linen should be deep grey in color. Use a screen behind the bed in order to provide a neutral but powerful personality to the room. If you don’t wish to use this screen, you can even opt for a painting or a huge photograph at this place.
  • Opt for a small industrial style side table that is made of metal and painted in deep grey. Add smaller white details or add a white flower pot or contemporary lamp here. The cushions and pillows that you would be using here should also be deep grey in color. Keep the wall unit small, short and very very simple.
  • You can even add a pet bed at the side of the room so that the guest, who comes with a pet doesn’t have any issues when it comes to tending their pets. Moreover, the pets would not even leave scratches on the sheets.
  • Use bright amber lights in the room. Though grey and white are usually neutral colors, we are using a warmer theme. Therefore, to accentuate the theme and make the environment warm, you would have to make sure that you are using amber lights. Always keep them as bright as possible as deep amber would ruin the look of this room.
  • Just to break the monotony of the room, you can keep one small red pillow on the bed. If you are using a flower vase on the end table, decorate it with bright red flowers and get the right look.

Modern But Luxurious Living Room

How would you describe a living room? Is it a place where you can entertain your guests? Is it a place where you feel the most relaxed? Is it a space where you can connect with your family? No matter what you chose, it is quite obvious that the living room is the liveliest place in the house. Therefore, you have to make sure that it remains that way. However, when you are entertaining your guests formally, you can’t expect to do so in a brightly colored living room. The room design idea that we would be talking about today is based on a simple, elegant, luxurious and classy theme that would give a very modern look to your home. It is designed especially for an urbane setting but can be used pretty much anywhere that you like. Let us get started.

The most important thing that you need to focus upon in this room is the furniture of the house. Therefore, we would first start talking about the furniture. You need to buy a big fluffy sofa for your living room. Make it a cottage style thickly padded sofa that would help you in making sure that the room retains a very earthen look. The sofa should seat three and must be provided with both large and medium sized cushions. While the sofa must be in an oyster white shade, you can chose the cushions in a complementing pattern. This would help in maintaining the theme of the room. The armrests must be simple and not very high. Keep moss green colored sofas on either side of the 3 seater sofa. These two must follow the contemporary designs but must have a high and straight arm chair. These sofas need not be very fluffy. Just keep them firm and comfortable. It can also come with accents of deep chocolate brown color. A bench with textures and similar moss green colors would complete the look.

The table that you must keep in the room should be rectangular in shape and must have a glass tabletop. Keep a small flower vase on the table but keep only yellow flowers here. This is because it would match the theme of the room. Keeping red flowers is also okay but it would hardly do anything to accentuate the look and feel of the room. Keep side tables that are chunky and stand exactly at the height of the armrests of your couch. Add lamps and flowers here to complete the furniture part of the room. You must ideally have large French windows here. Use solid grey and sheer white curtains with patterns. The room must be painted in an extremely light variety of moss green. This would help you in keeping the room looking light even after using heavy furniture over here.

Remember, you don’t have to use anything that is too heavy or too dark in the living room otherwise it looks quite boring. Keep it light but make sure it looks fairly elegant.
