This room is neutral no more! The sisters used a huge dose of their signature accent color, orange, on an accent wall full of new built-in shelving. Neutral walls and bright bedding complete the look.

The twins' neutral color scheme and high-quality finishes echo the "high-end bachelor pad" vibe seen throughout the condo.

Before the renovation, the guest bedroom featured a shallow closet that took up most of the room's wall space.

John and Whitney: The Design Plan

Bumping out the bathroom wall means that Whitney and John have the smallest guest bedroom. They decide to maximize their space with bright colors and a built-in workspace.

John and Whitney: Guest Room, Before

Prior to the renovation, this small space was the last place a guest would want to sleep.

A closet lined with deep teal and a daybed outfitted with bright patterns are balanced by the room's soft gray wall hue.

John and Whitney: Guest Bedroom, Before

Drywall, flooring, lighting — it all needed a boost prior to the renovation.

John and Whitney: Bright Daybed, After

Sleek pendant lighting and gray walls provide a neutral backdrop for the fun dose of color atop the room's daybed.

As seen on HGTV’s Flipping the Block, the guest bedroom in Unit D was cluttered and lacking design before the renovations by team D. (Before).
