Who doesn’t want to feel like they’re staying at a luxury hotel—for free? This is exactly what designer Brynn Olson, founder and design principal of Brynn Olson Design Group, had in mind creating a suite for overnight guests. “My clients were requesting spaces where their loved ones could feel comfortable and would want to stay awhile,” she says. To achieve this 5-star feel, she used a high-gloss blue paint, added custom cabinetry throughout, and made sure every amenity was within arm’s reach. A custom queen bed frame placed longways against a wall takes up less room than if it protruded and can be used as a daybed with a quick swap of the pillows. Olson utilized the extra floor space to create a seating area for guests to linger.

Talk about amenities: A glossy wall of custom cabinetry is offset by brass inlays from Architectural Grille and topped with a Grothouse wood desktop. Smartly hidden features include a microwave from Signature Kitchen Suite and their dual undercounter refrigerator drawers—stocked with mini-bar-level refreshments—plus an LG OLED TV for marathon movie nights.

A high-gloss finish on the allover blue paint gives this room a definititvely luxurious feel, while brass accents and warm textiles make it comfortable.

CATHEDRAL ROOM

Waking up to an idyllic outdoor view—there may be nothing more relaxing. And this petite guest room features a bay window that’s nearly 14 feet tall. “As you approach the room, it feels like a breath of fresh air.... These soaring ceilings give you that sense of awe as you walk in,” designer Brynn Olson says. To capture that calming effect, she kept the room light and neutral, using a handcrafted grasscloth wallcovering all the way up to the ceiling and simple white drapery panels to frame the window. A four-poster bed, complete with crisp white bedding that has a smart gray border around it, feels fully tailored. Minimalist canopy panels, easily removed for cleaning, are edged with a jute and linen tape. It’s an ideal spot to rest after a long journey—and an even better place to welcome in the morning.
