I love most of my house, and am very happy with most of the things in it, but my guest bedroom is a bit blah. I found some cute pillows at Target last week (when I was supposed to be shopping for post-Halloween deals), and they inspired me to improve the decor for the guest bedroom, using possibly what I already have.
Here is what the bedroom looks like now:
It has a few cute elements (mainly the Dwell Studio for Target bedding, which I love love love!), but needs something to tie it all together. Maybe curtains? I bought that blue pillow (along with another cute blue pillow) and can’t return it, but it doesn’t quite look right on the bed.
I could go for more color, and use both blue pillows:
Or go for a more streamlined color palate with only black and white:
Which would definitely require me to paint this nightstand that I got at an estate sale a glossy black:
So I put together this mood board to help guide me, using pieces that are modern, urban, clean and streamlined. I think the black white and yellow color scheme works well.
Pillow, Bedding, Bed, Yellow Lamp, Chair, Shelves, White Lamp, Table, Mirror, Dresser
What would you do? Go in a different direction? Perhaps something more relaxing and nature-inspired?
Please help my boring guest room! You might stay in it one day– so your opinion would be helpful!

I like the yellow/black/white look a lot. I never would have considered that combo until I stayed in a b&b room that did it – and I loved it! there are a few pics in this post if you want to see. http://theborrowedabode.com/2009/10/out-and-about-shafer-baillie-mansion/
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I’m going to use that color scheme! Also, that mansion looks amazing to stay in!

I like where you’re going here- I especially like the bedding! Have you seen this blog? http://blackwhiteyellow.blogspot.com/
it has tooons of inspiration for black/ white/ yellow rooms!
I hadn’t seen that blog. Very cute!
Yes, go with the white and black! Yes, Paint the nightstand. Some black and white photos on the wall would look nice too. I love staying in your guest room, that bed is mighty comfy!!!
