Guest bedroom design with built-in alcove closets for added storage.
Designing a guest room with ample storage can completely transform how the space functions.
In this project, the goal was to create a calming bedroom while maximizing storage without making the room feel heavy.
The solution was installing alcove-style closets. What are alcove closets?
Alcove closets are built-in storage units designed to fit inside a recessed wall niche or architectural indentation. Instead of protruding into the room like traditional wardrobes, alcove closets sit flush within the wall, creating a seamless and integrated look. They are ideal for bedrooms where you want maximum storage with minimal visual clutter.
Design Features Used in This Room:
• Custom alcove-style built-in closets with paneled doors.
• Soft warm white walls in Sherwin Williams Creamy.
• Brushed brass hardware for subtle contrast.
• Upholstered curved headboard bed frame in performance fabric by Arhuas.
• Calistoga nightstand in light oak with brass k***s from Pottery Barn.
• Relaxed Roman shade with a beautiful floral print.
• Neutral traditional patterned area rug.
• Sculptural Isla chandelier by Maxim Lighting.
• Upholstered bench seating under the window.
• Mixed faux floral arrangement placed on the nightstand.
The overall palette focuses on soft neutrals, natural textures, and warm wood tones to create a serene guest retreat.
