Eclectic/Hip Attic Guest Room

Design Remix : Episode HDMIX-101 -- More Projects »

Before: The homeowners would like to offer guests a special room just for them at the top of their stairs. As it is now, this cluttered space isn't exactly welcoming!

After: Inviting yellow walls, red floors and black accents set the tone for a modern yet retro style that fits the homeowners' taste and personalities.

Before: A divider is needed to define the room as it currently is open to the staircase and a reading chair would be nice.

After: A recycled picket fence from the basement becomes a functional and fun room divider and curtains from a previous home soften the entire area.

Homeowners Darby and Pieter Schouten need a guest room as well as a quiet retreat space from their two-year old, Lily. Designer Karen McAloon helps them transform their 100-year-old attic space into a stylish guest room hideaway for under $40 by remixing items they already have with some found treasures left behind by the previous owner.
