Plaid Guest Bedroom

Dream Home Central

By Robrt Pela
Special to HGTV.com
The pair of guest bedrooms on the upper level of HGTV’s Dream Home share the same floor plan, but couldn’t be more different from one another in decor. Designer Linda Woodrum decorated the rooms with the intention of their being a large guest suite for a visiting family. The kids might stay in what she calls "the plaid room."

The twin open-canopy beds in the first room are dressed in a fringed version of the soft brown cotton plaid used in the draperies covering the wall behind the beds. The curtain panels, which bring to mind flannel cowboy shirts, wrap around to frame smaller windows on the adjoining walls. This "wall of flannel" provides the perfect backdrop for the two smooth pine bed frames. Woodruff has kept the bed canopies open to give the room a wider, less-cluttered feel, and so guests can enjoy breeze from the ceiling fan while they snooze. Iron pole lamps with creamy canvas shades stand beside each of the beds, which share a low, walnut bureau as their nightstand.

This is the only room in the house for which Woodrum chose a wall color that isn’t a shade of brown. The sage green walls offer a soothing contrast to the chocolaty tones of the curtains and the textured cotton area rug trimmed in creamy white fringe. Near the foot of the bed, a comfy armchair upholstered in the same plaid as the curtains and bedspreads rests alongside a tiered walnut bookcase. Nearby, the swirling pine finish of a tall chest of drawers is topped with a shiny mirror. Just beyond, a powder room with shower is tiled in taupe tumbled marble, its window dressed with fawn-colored, cotton pinch-pleat draperies trimmed in the plaid from the bedroom.

Regardless of who visits, guests also have an inviting loft between the two rooms in which they could congregate.
