A West Coast guest room gets some East Coast flavour with soaring white walls, natural linen window coverings and a breezy colour palette.
Designer Lesli Balagno of Vancouver’s Heffel Balagno created this Cape Cod-inspired space with ease in mind: do a pillow tuck with the bedspread, throw on the bedroll and the guest space is good to go—no need to fuss with multiple throw pillows or blankets.The timeless room has a simple palette (cool greys, clean white, warm linen) but gets the look of a boutique hotel by varying textures, including a mohair-covered dressing bench, woven fabric on the headboard, a cozy wool throw and a silky bedroll.Add sparkle with an Arteriors Mercury Glass Lamp ($528), arteriors.comThe B2C bed (from $899) warms the room with its woven headboard, eq3.comProvide flexible storage for guests with this Tilden Storage Bench from West Elm ($534),westelm.comWe love the little details, like this forged Bouvet Rosette door hardware ($124), bouvet.com
