Most basements don't have room for an extra bedroom, but even a small guest room is a worthwhile addition (as long as it doesn't sacrifice family space). For the room, think functional and fun - minimal furniture but piles of pillows and comfortable bedding. I like these earth tones, but crazy brights would be fantastic, too.
Coordinating the fabric of an upholstered headboard with drapery and other decor accents creates continuity throughout a bedroom. I like how this bedroom creates an air of cohesiveness without being too "matchy-matchy" -- the oversized plaid pattern of the headboard serves as an interesting coordinate to the solid window panels and valance.
Especially in older homes, bedrooms are often tight. This room attractively and efficiently delivers. A friendly, approachable color scheme carried through furniture and fabrics works well with smaller scale furniture - big pieces would overwhelm the space.
