Hey friend! If you know me, you know I LOVE creating inviting, stylish spaces that feel cozy and welcoming – especially when it comes to the bedroom! Whether you’re refreshing your own bedroom or designing a small guest bedroom on a budget, I’ve got you covered with the perfect finds. And the star of the show? My gorgeous new queen bed frame wood design, the Whittgate Panel Bed from Ashley Furniture! (Check it out here).
This bed frame is the definition of warm, neutral bedroom vibes – a beautiful warm light wood that blends effortlessly with any decor style. It’s sturdy, timeless, and makes my bedroom feel so much more elevated and put together!
Small Guest Bedroom Ideas on a Budget
Creating a dreamy guest bedroom doesn’t have to break the bank! Here are my top tips for styling a cozy, neutral space:
Start with a Statement Bed Frame – A wood queen bed frame is a perfect size for a guest bedroom, offering both comfort and style. The one I chose from Ashley is so versatile and works beautifully with different bedding looks throughout the seasons.
Affordable, Chic Bedding – I found an amazingly soft and budget-friendly duvet cover from Amazon that gives my guest room that “boutique hotel” feel. Layering with textured throw pillows and a cozy blanket instantly makes the bed feel inviting. This works perfectly with a queen wood bed frame.
Neutral Bedroom Rugs – A rug is a must-have to warm up the space! I went with a neutral area rug that adds texture and ties the whole look together. It’s from Etsy and it’s the perfect touch of cozy underfoot.
Wall Art that Elevates the Space – Artwork instantly adds personality to a room! I found the most beautiful minimalist and neutral wall art from Lindsay Letters. They bring a soft, coastal touch to the room without overpowering the space…we didn’t want it to cream seashells and beach either. Ha!
Functional & Stylish Nightstands – Keep the guest bedroom clutter-free by adding a small nightstand or floating shelf with a cute lamp, a candle, and a small dish for guests to place their jewelry or phone.
The Essentials for Guests – Make your visitors feel at home with little thoughtful touches like a cozy throw blanket, a basket with extra toiletries, and a small carafe for water. Bonus points if you leave out a little welcome note!
Layering beige, cream, and soft taupe textiles makes the room feel serene and elevated, especially with a wooden queen frame bed.
Candles and soft lighting create a warm, inviting glow.
A mix of textures like linen, cotton, and wool adds depth and dimension.
