From East to West
Farragut Interior Designers Give Clients a Western Flair
At Rowan Hall Interiors, every room has a story, and this one was no exception. When our clients asked us, their trusted Farragut, TN interior designer, to transform their son’s childhood bedroom into a sophisticated guest retreat, we were excited to blend nostalgia with a fresh, chic design. The goal was to create a cozy, inviting space for visitors while maintaining a sense of familiarity for their son when he returns home. These clients might live in East Tennessee, but they much prefer to be out West. We carefully curated rustic elements that echo the charm of Colorado and Montana, resulting in a retreat that’s both warm and polished.
Before: A Space Steeped in Nostalgia
The original room was a treasure trove of memories, from bold sports-themed wall art to keepsakes from their son’s youth. While it served him well through the years, our clients envisioned a more refined, guest-ready room that still carried a bit of that heartwarming familiarity. It was time to say goodbye to the bold graphics and hello to a more serene and versatile space.
After: A Warm and Inviting Guest Room
To start, we embraced a palette of soft neutrals to create a calming atmosphere, perfect for both guests and family. Crisp white bedding became the foundation for plush pillows in faux fur and an irresistibly cozy throw, adding texture and luxury. We selected a rustic wooden desk and paired it with a buttery leather chair, infusing the room with natural, Western-inspired elements. These thoughtful details honor the family’s love for the outdoors, subtly weaving their personal style throughout the room.
One of our favorite pieces is the whimsical art above the bed. This unique piece adds a playful yet sophisticated touch to the room. Coupled with an industrial chandelier, the artwork brings in just the right amount of rustic-meets-modern charm—creating an effortlessly elegant space that’s both functional and stylish.
Rustic Accents for a Timeless Look
To dial up the rustic vibe, we incorporated distressed wood finishes, a natural horn-inspired wall piece, and a rich, patterned rug that anchors the room. The result is a space that feels like a cozy mountain lodge—inviting enough for guests to unwind but also perfectly familiar for the family’s son when he visits. Each detail, from the texture of the furnishings to the color palette, was designed to offer a welcoming retreat with a touch of timeless, Western elegance.
A Bathroom Refresh for Modern Comfort
The adjacent bathroom added an additional undertaking to this renovation. As a Farragut, TN interior designer, we’re often called upon to ensure every space, including bathrooms, feels elevated yet comfortable. We chose to replace the outdated tile and fixtures with finishes that are much more elevated and timeless. This part of the renovation adds value to the home if our clients ever decide to sell, but it allows our clients and their guests to enjoy the updates in the meantime.
We opted to replace the large brown porcelain tile with a natural stone plank to give a more current feel. The coordinating shower surround with a custom niche gives a more luxurious feel to the practical bathtub insert. We replaced the vanity, including the mirror and light fixture with pieces that add a rustic feel while remaining elevated–just like the high-end Aspen hotel we were channeling.
Of course, no Rowan Hall room would be complete without custom drapery panels! This bathroom did not have a window, but a custom shower curtain was the perfect way to complete the space. We designed custom, pleated panels in a simple and neutral windowpane fabric to add drama and luxury to this small bathroom. The neutral tones make this space a timeless investment for the future while being the perfect upgrade for this guest suite.
A Versatile Space for All
This transformation beautifully blends the past and the present, resulting in a guest room that our clients can proudly show off while their son still feels right at home. The room’s rustic accents, soft textures, and elegant furnishings have created a space that’s both versatile and inviting.
