This guest room suffered from a serious case of cast-off blues. In a three-step makeover, we transform it into a cozy and super-functional space that may have visitors overstaying their welcome.

Step 1: Getting Started

With cold white walls and bedding and a hodgepodge of furniture leftovers, this small guest bedroom was less than inviting. Plus, it served no purpose when there weren't any guests.

Here are our big-impact ideas for the short term and a plan for adding details down the road.


The Makeover To-Do List

  • Lose the boring all-white color scheme.
  • Create the perfect retreat for guests.
