Decorating a guest bedroom in a home is one of my favorite rooms to design! This upstairs attic bedroom is at our newly inherited coastal Maine home. A room that was refinished about 6 years ago to match the rest of the home and was never really used that much. It’s also a room that I have been very anxious to decorate and get ready for guests.
To start, we assembled this full pine bed and added an antique dresser and chair that were all left to us by my parents. I found an antique white blanket and quilt in the house that my mother made, perfect for this bed. I changed the valance out with one that my mother had made from a downstairs bedroom. And gathered a few other antique finds from around the home to accentuate the dresser and the walls.
I quickly went to the local thrift shop and found two large blue and white check pillows for .50 cents a pillow. And I knew then that blue was going to be this room’s color of choice.
The guest bedroom was now ready for what I call “POOF”! A quick trip to the home HomeGoods stores to find the “POOF” consisted of a bed skirt, pillows, pillowcases, throw rugs, and more to make this bedroom feel cozy and inviting.
I love collecting Irish sweater pillows and blankets. They feel so cozy in any decor and any season.
I also adore adding baskets. This one I found at HomeGoods for only $20, along with the Irish sweater pillows and blanket.
A few throw rugs I also found at HomeGoods look antique with their vintage blue paisley pattern on the attic bedroom floor.

Fresh white towels for guests add warm and welcoming hospitality.
Luggage racks are such a convenience when you are a guest. I purchased this one online, however, I think I will paint it and add some vintage-inspired ribbon to make it look antique for this attic bedroom

This is so beautiful!! I would really really love to know what your wall color is. It’s such a cozy Creamy paint color! Just what I’m hoping for in my home.
Thank you Chandra, we were trying to match a 25 year old white colored wall, which was downstairs in the house, so it was formulated to match that white, it’s not a particular color white if that makes sense… Similar though to Alabaster or Acadia white.
I actually want to come and stay in that room. It looks so sweet, comfortable and inviting. I love it. New to your blog but now following. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much Brenda. There’s just something about an attic bedroom. Don’t you think🤗
