Last week I shared with you my first attempts at decorating our guest room. I’m using a bright, colorful color palette of orange and aqua in an effort to inject some life and energy into the space. And because lamps and bedding in those colors is what I already had! 🙂
If you missed it, the room started like this:
And so far, with the furniture rearranged and nightstands moved from the master.
I popped in to Z Gallerie during the week and brought home a few goodies for the room. A shiny, aqua decorative shell is a great accent for the bedside table.
And a funky aqua garden stool now adds more of the aqua color I wanted to incorporate.
Since the room has lots of shiny, lacquered pieces (the stool, lamp, and decorative elephant), I wanted to add some texture and warmth, so I brought in this basket from West Elm. I actually like relaxing in this room now, so it’s nice to have some magazines on hand.
I still have art (also a Z Gallerie find) and drapes to hang (I bought white, but now I’m thinking of an aqua and white patterned fabric), and a mirror for over the dresser. I keep checking Home Goods for mirrors, but nothing yet.
The room is coming together quite nicely! Love the color combo. Guests are sure to love staying in the room.
I like the garden stool, Megan. What a fun color. 🙂
I love how this room is turning out! I would never have paired aqua and orange, but now I think it is my new favorite color combo!
The Z Gallerie near my house in Austin is relocating and everything in the store is 30% off. Might be a bit of a drive from where you are in Austin, but could be worth it– tons of stuff left. The guest room is coming along nicely :-).
I love the color combination. I have a room to redo since my oldest son has left home for good. The thought is kind of overwhelming.
I would have never been brave enough to go with this color combo but it looks really great! I would probably find myself hanging out in there too.
The room is looking gorgeous!!!
Great color combination! Z gallerie has so many great finds right now! Good luck with your mirror hunt!

Very nice! The colors are bright and add a great 'pop' but they aren't over powering. I really love the stool.
LOVE the color combo! I just posted a nursery update today…we're using similar colors for the little guy's room. It's so fresh and fun!! 🙂
It looks great! Were did you get that bedding? i love it. And that garden stool is just right! Can't wait to see the rest.
I love aqua & tangerine together — so fresh & fun!

I am in love with the garden stool! Our Z Gallerie closed a few years ago and it still depressesme today! Such a fabulous store.
It looks beautiful! Love the color combination! You just may have a visitor knocking on your door. A wonderful guest room, Megan!
Wow, little changes make a huge difference. Love that stool from Z Gallerie.
Love the colors and that little shell!
OBSESSED with your guest room bedding!!
