More Guest Suite Ideas

Care for more from the guest suite makeover featured in our blog entry, Create an Inviting Guest Suite? Here, you’ll find even more noteworthy details from interior designer Rachel Greathouse. Start with a soothing wall color and bigger pieces of furniture, Greathouse says. “I reallythink the warm gray headboard sets the tone for the room,” she says. 

“I think the linen with the nailheads make it very handsome and a feel that just about anyone would like. I like the contrast with the white bedding and the black nightstands and console.” Of the decorative accessories, Greathouse says, “The art Ichose has a touch of unexpected and I love the colors on the canvas. The lamp is great and lighting in any space is so important. I think the shiny silver mirror is really a chic piece.”
