The guest bedroom is a bright sunny space, with its rich yellow walls, floral fabrics and cheerful bird painting. While it is designed for guests, interior designer Linda Woodrum also considers it suitable for a girl from kindergarten to high school."This room started with the yellow," says Woodrum. "Then I found the brown-and-white duvet and it went from there."
The chocolate-colored rug of recycled nylon carpeting is chocolate brown. The color is repeated in the band on the dust ruffle, the pillow shams and comforter. The headboard, upholstered in chocolate fabric, has white buttons that reflect the same pattern as the round mirrors on the wall next to the bed.
Woodrum used lamps with a recycled papier-mâché base in a flower motif and a blown-glass finial. They rest on simple bedside tables topped with mirrored glass, which reflect the golden walls and ceiling.
Simple white curtains over rattan blinds let in as much – or as little – light as guests want, making this a cozy escape or a cheerful retreat. The large windows are among the most energy-efficient on the market. They reduce the amount of glare and heat gain through high-performance glass and are surrounded with additional flashing to help prevent moisture problems.
With a new coat of paint and a new bed throw, this room's entire mood can change. The white furniture and chocolate-and-white linens work with a variety of colors, from eggshell blue, to pink to green to red.
The chair in the corner has a retro look, which is heightened by the fern-leaf pattern on the seat. "I didn't want to fill the space up with a bulky chair," says Woodrum. "Green spaces use fewer pieces of high-quality furniture and that's what I wanted to show in this room."
The simple white chest of drawers completes the space. A white lamp with a brown-and-white shade rests atop it, along with some of Woodrum's favorite books, photos and plants.
