Here is the list of 40 Charming Guest Bedrooms.
Bright Spot
Designer Liz Carroll kicked off the creation of this bright and happy space when she laid eyes on a bolt of look-at-me, indoor/outdoor Trina Turk fabric. She knew it would be perfect for the custom headboard, and “it informed everything else in the room.”
Sea-Hued Space
Arrowroot wallpaper evokes the dunes outside, while ocean-going John Robshaw bedding and sunny day-inspired artwork complete this Rehoboth Beach guest room’s seaside allure.
Natural Getaway
The sea grass headboards in this Nate Berkus-designed guest room present a weave of blond, brown, and wheat shades that are picked up in the bed linens’ trim, the drawer pulls, and the brass repro task lamp, with its pleasingly retro shape.
Colorful Guest Room
Pink, yellow, and navy makes for a fun spin on the primary color palette in this vividly inviting guest room. White furnishings and trim help ground the cacophony of color.
Levels of Comfort
In a small room, a dual bunk bed makes space for the whole family. The queen size bed on the bottom and twin bed on top are a perfect pair for guests with young children.
Eye-Catching Retreat
Bold wallpaper in a beachy pattern reminds guests of tropical locales and provides a sense of escape for a true getaway.
Room for Everyone
A large, skinny room is perfect for a row of twin beds at a beach house where lots of little ones come to visit. This one in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, also features an upstairs loft with even more sleeping space.
Sophisticated Refuge
A bold gray-and-yellow combo makes a statement in this guest room. The bold contrast is softened with soft fabrics and textures like the velvet-covered headboard.
Bright and Bold
Try a vibrant hue, such as turquoise mixed with white, to create a playful space. Increase the beachy feel with accents such as these palm-shaped bed posters.
Pastel Retreat
A pale combination of soft yellows and grays gives a relaxed vibe here. A pair of twin beds covered in the same fabric as the curtains and armchair unify the room.
Nautical Charm
Create a classic coastal haven with a nautical-themed bedroom that makes guests feel at home by the sea. A red, white, and blue color scheme and ocean-inspired accents, such as this sailboat portrait, hint at the theme without going overboard.
Relaxing Pastels
Soft pastels and simple coastal accents have a way of making everyone feel comfortable and pampered. Decorative sea star pillows and coral decor play up the beach.
Simple Comfort
With casual yet comfortable decor, a simple bedroom will make your guests feel right at home. Mount swing-arm sconces inside bedposts to provide easy reading light, and use lighter wall colors such as aqua to soothe.
Inspired by the Sea
Guests will feel especially close to the sea with calming blues and ocean-inspired accessories, such as an oyster shell mirror.
Vintage Appeal
A light, airy guest room gets a dose of vintage charm with an antique iron bed and canary prints from a 1951 picture book hung on the wall. Traditional accents keep the space feeling cozy and classic.
Color Pop
A bright orange headboard adds life to an otherwise neutral palette in this room. The wide faux bois stripe distressed to look like wood mirrors the outside environment for a one-of-a-kind touch.
Cozy and Inviting
A soft color scheme and carved wood headboards give this guest room a welcoming feel. Painted furniture and plush fabrics add to the relaxed ambiance.
Dramatic Design
Stark white paint and a Victorian-era portrait transform this small library into a unique guest retreat. A paneled wall serves as a headboard, while bookshelves line the sides of the bed.
Elegant Escape
Add sparkle to a bland room with a few key pieces, such as a sunburst mirror, gold detailing, and grass cloth walls.
Pretty Patterns
Be bold and brighten up a room with playful patterns and vivid colors. Stick to a corresponding palette to tie together the patterns.
Stylish Accommodations
Custom twin beds dressed with classic blues and browns and pint-size ocean paintings create a nautical haven for guests.
Going Mod
Use bright colors and ’70s-style accents like a retro bedside table and patterned wallpaper to add a mod feel to a guest room.
Open and Organic
This simple platform bed welcomes guests with cozy organic linens. The natural feel is enhanced by a tree trunk bedside table, lots of natural light streaming through large windows, and a door that leads to the back patio.
Fresh Simplicity
A clean, white bedroom feels fresh for guests and allows the gorgeous sea view outside to take center stage.
Island Elegance
Treat your guests to a stay in paradise. Bamboo-inspired furniture and tropical bedding create an atmosphere as fun and relaxing as a Hawaiian luau.
Modern Focus
A stunning black-and-white scheme lends a contemporary feel to this guest room. A grid of simple mirrors is a great way to make big impact in the small space.
Cottage Comfort
Layering patterned bedding on a hand-carved spindle bed pairs perfectly with modern accessories for a look that’s traditional, yet not old-fashioned.
Coastal Update
Traditional seaside style gets a modern update in this calming guest room. Sandy hues, geometric prints, and a Lucite side table add contemporary flair.
Private Paradise
Guests will appreciate having their own space to unwind at the end of the day, such as in this attached guest cottage decorated in soothing tones.
Earthy Inspiration
Twin built-in beds covered with brown linens and rustic coastal accessories create an inviting and space-saving atmosphere for guests.
Light and Breezy
Make your guest room feel like an exotic escape by adding flowy mosquito netting, fresh patterns, and comfy linens.
Secret Sleeping Nook
A small nook tucked into the wall is an imaginative sleeping spot guests will remember for years.
Gorgeous in Gingham
A guest room is a fun place to experiment with out-there accents like patterned walls. Here, gingham on the curtains and walls pleases the eye in a sea-green palette.
Creative Comfort
For houses tight on space but not on property, yurts (heavy-duty circular tents) can provide extra sleeping quarters for guests. Furnish with high-quality indoor furniture to make the small room feel like an extension of the house.
Light and Bright
Big, open windows in a guest room with a beautiful water view establish a sense of place. Lots of light paired with a white color palette and pops of orange feels bright and cheery.
Dual Purpose Hangout
A daybed outfitted in fun fabrics can function as a sitting area during the day and a guest bed at night.
Pretty Pairs
Wood-paneled walls paired with an antique bed frame create a cozy sleeping quarters.
Casual and Cool
A simply decorated bedroom with a West Indies vibe is a perfect place for your guests to retreat after a long day. White walls with soothing blue accents keep it feeling light and breezy.
Cottage Comfort
Use rustic, cozy elements—wood-planked floors and plush quilts—to make guests feel welcome.
Playful Pink
Try a fun, unexpected color in a guest room, such as bright pink. Coastal accents and island touches like grass cloth flooring will keep the room looking sophisticated but still lively.
