Guest Bedroom Gets Warm, Eclectic Feel with Woven Wood Shades

Abigail Sawyer | 19 Jun 2018 | Woven Wood Shades

Did you catch Claire Brody's budget guest bedroom makeover earlier this year? The quirky Austin based designer gave two bedrooms a finished look, all with pieces she already had on hand and textural woven wood shades.

As designers are wont to do, Claire has been tweaking the space over the last few months and gave it an even more polished look with her signature eclectic flair.

Claire says:

"And here we were about three months ago.  Again, it was a nice looking room.  Nothing wrong with it.  Although the bed does look a bit wimpy.  The room needed some oomph, plus the rest of our house feels warm, and I wanted our guest room to fit in."

For the updated look, Claire layered on rich textiles, put down a rug, and added a more substantial headboard to define the space.

Plug-in sconces add personality and can be installed without help from an electrician.

Vintage-inspired portraits are a quirky accent and tie the overall color palette together.

This room makeover just goes to show that you don't have to change your wall color to give a room depth and personality.
