Guest Bedrooms - What's your style?

I'll be busy this week with brush in hand, not a new painting unfortunately, this time creating a guest bedroom. I've been running around the past few weeks looking at bed linen, paint colours and fabrics trying to decide a theme. I am creating a mood board and I guess you could say it is an eclectic mix of New England versus Ralph Lauren style. Previously the room was set up as my studio and is currently storing bits and pieces left over after I sold my mums home, however, I'm keen to turn it into an inviting guest room for visitors. I am not giving too much away at the moment, lots of ideas and images in my head but finding it hard to make decisions. Meanwhile, it never ceases to amaze me how many creative designers there are and the bedrooms below show how varied styles can be...

Such different styles, lots of inspiration for me to draw upon for my guest room. If you were creating a guest room what style would you choose?

  2. My pics are Nos 1 & 7 - love that fabric hanging behind the bed in pic 7, and pic 1 is just cute and cosy with beautiful texture. x

    1. Thanks Vic, image 7 makes you realise how easy it is to create an interesting and simple headboard. I am going for my usual "neutral" scheme in my guest room and intend to make my own headboard with some lovely heavy textured linen.
