Panorama ski condo guest room - before & after

We’ve officially hit the January blahs and it certainly feels like there is no end to working from home. If you are looking to shake things up in your home office space there are a few changes that can add instant mood improvement. It might surprise you that the best moves are not always aesthetic. 

We were hired to update a ski condo in Panorama, British Columbia. The entire space needed an update to be more functional including the guest room. 

Since guest rooms accommodate an eclectic mix of people they need to be flexible and a few simple design decisions made that easy to accomplish. 

One of the main goals for this guest room was to increase the sleeping capacity. It functions great for two people but the addition of trundle beds make it easy to add four. 

The style of the entire condo is casual mountain modern. This was achieved in this room by using a natural palette and simple forms – the furniture is unfussy but the pieces are solid – creating a relaxed space that’s perfect for guests. 

Trundle beds

Separating the beds and adding trundles allowed us to increase sleeping capacity in this guest room. 

One particularly great thing about these trundle beds is they tuck in completely flush so you can’t tell they’re there. There’s also no room for dust to accumulate so you don’t have to vacuum them before each use.  

Lighting and artwork to define the space

We hung artwork from a local artist above each bed and then installed sconces above the artwork. This helps to highlight the art while also defining the space, creating a canopy effect above the beds. 

Layered window treatments to control the light

Window treatments are an easy way to add a level of interest to a simple room. And because people require different levels of light for sleeping, layered window treatments are a good idea in a guest room. 

We added a light roller shade that blocks light but doesn’t completely eliminate it under a larger Roman shade that completely covers the window to create a full black-out.
