It’s been a while since we’ve made any major changes to our home. But, now that our son has been in college for a few years, we decided that we needed a more official guest room. Of course it’s still Dylan’s room when he comes home. But, since we have a lot of out of town family and want our guests to be as comfortable as possible, we made a few upgrades. 

I few years ago, actually in the heart of the pandemic, we gave Dylan’s room a makeover. It was time for the bunk beds to go, so we partnered with Article and added the beautiful Lenia Walnut Queen Bed. You can check out the full post HERE. Now, fast forward a few years, I always knew I wanted a sofa in this room. It’s a very long, spacious room and we wanted to be able to use the room for watching a game, reading in a quiet spot, or just giving one extra spot to folks to sleep. With friends and family visiting, the sofa bed turns this room into a little suite, room for parents and kiddos. 

With this in mind, Article was the only choice I had in mind to help makeover this room. Their furniture is thoughtfully designed – they feel classic, but modern and stylish. I can also shop from them with confidence knowing I’m not only getting a great value but that I’ll have and love their quality pieces for a long time. Everything truly feels built to last. 

I knew I wanted to add more chocolate brown to this space. I love earth tones, and lately I can’t get enough of warm browns. This room is very light and bright with 3 full walls of windows and light colored walls. So, a grounding color like brown was just what this space really needed. I’m so glad that this trending colour seems like it’s here to stay. It’s classic but still special and so rich, especially in velvet. The Sven Sofa Bed in Plush Pacific Brown checked all the boxes. The fabric on the Sven Sofa is not only super soft, it’s very durable – which I love. And honestly it’s the easiest sofa to turn into a bed. You just remove the seat back cushions and then pull two tabs on the seat to lay out the bed. This is not like your grandma’s sleeper sofa with an uncomfortable thin spring mattress with the inevitable bar in your back all night. It’s truly one of the most comfortable beds in our house. 

With the Sven Sofa as the new foundation piece for the room, I sourced some fun new vintage pieces, pillows, art and a bright colored bamboo screen. Since it’s a big open space with two beds, I thought guests might like to have a little privacy. I’d love to add a little more pattern to this space, maybe even wallpaper someday. But for now, I really couldn’t be happier and I hope my guests feel the same way.
