The Spare Room-living and loving it with Indian quilts and the Bohemian, Exotic touches

The spare room can easily become store room, toy room or 'the black hole' of the house. But no matter its shape or size some clever design can change it into a beautiful guest retreat .Plus, you can push all your design boundaries in here ,well it is the spare room!


I shared this image on my instagram earlier this week.This is William Yeoward's guest cottage.An eclectic mix of textiles, patterned headboards,embroidered cushions and an Indian quilt on white bedlinen create the most inviting bed . The bedside water carafe , fresh flowers and piles of reading material are the finishing touches.(Courtsey House & Garden Archives)


Closer home Anna Spiro's work brings together bright textiles , vintage linen lamps and an Indian quilt all on white bedlinen.The colourful artwork and bunch of flowers is the most important finishing touch.


Feast your eyes on this beautiful room from Lonny magazine. Don't miss the beautiful ,vintage and exotic textiles and the blue Indian Quilt gracing the bed. Also, the pops of yellow as a bolster cushion, lamp base and the pile of books and artwork are the oh so delicious touches .


To recreate these looks for your guest room browse Indian Quilts and throws from here. The Turquoise works for a coastal vibe or a modern contemporary eclectic interior.


The Modern Bohemian Quilted Bedspread is for you if you want to recreate William Yeoward's guest cottage feel.

Shop Peacocks And Paisleys to transform your spare room into a beautiful guest retreat and don't forget those little table vignettes to make a space worth lingering and loving.
