To sleep, perchance to dream? Take inspiration from these newly dreamy spaces.
Before
The bedroom is plagued by ineffectual lighting and a lack of storage: Unread books get stashed in a basket on the floor. Bedclothes are drab and dull.

The lighting problem is easily solved with wall-mounted lamps. Slim night tables with built-in shelves now hold books. The black bed frame inspires a dramatic new black-and-white color scheme for the bedding, punching up the yellow walls. A graphic Hawaiian quilt is hung tapestry style, replacing the quiet pressed-leaf art that used to top the bed. Covering the hardwood floor with a sisal rug (its black edging echoes the lines of the bed linens) finishes the room.

Messy, mismatched furnishings—including beds of different sizes and styles—plus riotous wall artwork and color add up to a guest room that’s more chaotic than restful. The motley collection of small rugs scattered around the room looks disheveled.

After
Painting or slipcovering the furniture and the wall in complementary shades of white helps quiet the room (though a portion of the cityscape mural is left as if framed). Now two daybeds (in matching machine-washable slipcovers) face each other to establish an anchoring symmetry. Shelves with wicker baskets offer storage, and magazine racks keep books, papers, and clothes in order. One large striped rug ties the space together.
