15. A Los Angeles Guest House Gets a Magical Child’s Bedroom
Can you imagine having a 4,000 square foot guest house in Los Angeles? The spare home is a 1920s Cotswolds-cottage-style house that sat on the property of a couple who lived in a more modern home just a few steps away. An interior designer named David Netto decided that since no one actually lived in the guest house full time, it would be best to tell a story that captivated the people staying there. The result is that the space is full of color, and it feels so joyful. If you have a spare room or property you put on AirBnB, this is a great tip to consider for yourself.

Netto transformed the attic of this guest house into a children’s bedroom. Before the renovation, the attic was finished with drywall. But other than that, it was pretty standard and bare-bones. The room may be small, but the two twin beds are perfect for children who are temporarily staying in the house with their parents. Again, this setup might not be ideal for a family who wants to move into the house full-time, since kids usually grow up wanting their own bedrooms. But this works out perfectly for what it is.
