1) Add vibrant colour
Sarah thinks a splash of cheerful colour is essential in a guest bedroom, here she uses it to create a welcoming space.
2) Lighten harsh features
Sarah painted the pine wall panelling to soften the look and add casual elegance. It also makes the room appear lighter and more spacious.
3) Add mismatched style
To achieve the cottage-style decorating look she was hoping for, Sarah added aged furniture to give the impression the room had grown over time.
