AFM Designer showhouse guest suite

Having a guest suite so “sumptuous,” as designer Rhonda Greenberg of Studio Paradise puts it, can pose the age-old problem: Your guests will never want to leave. “The guest suite is the second master in the home so we wanted it to be opulent and highlight the extraordinary views,” Greenberg says.

The suite offers the amenities of a well-appointed resort, plus a complete kitchen with a Wolf range. However, with the enticing comfort of the rich walnut woods of the bed, wood-framed sofa and chest (all by Davis Home Furnishings, whose designers helped Greenberg fashion the space), accented by copper-velvet linens and fabrics, guests may desire to do more lounging than sautéing.

The pièce de résistance of the suite is a carved wooden bed detailed with scroll carvings framed by hand-painted crackle panels. The setup acts as the anchor of the design and is dressed with a chocolate silk balloon bed skirt, oversize chocolate Euro shams and faux mink pillows. —N.B.
