Quick guest room makeover ideas

The “collected” look

If you love that artfully mismatched look you’ve seen in magazines, but are nervous about trying it in a high traffic room, the guest bedroom is a great place to experiment. The idea is to decorate walls and surfaces with items you might have collected while traveling or thrifting. For a little inspiration, check out this eclectic bedroom designed by Domicile Interior Design of Huntington Beach, California.

Raid your storage closets for lamps, knickknacks, vases and wall art, and fill in with new pieces as necessary. Mix eras and ethnicities to keep the look fresh and contemporary. A stack of interesting books with bright covers is the perfect finishing touch.
