Marie Meko
Senior Interior Designer
Pillsbury Castle
Designers Heidi Dockter, Marie Meko, and Karena Monahan were given the freedom to create a more feminine and elegant feel for this Guest Bedroom. They achieved this by incorporating a palette of neutral grays accented with pops of gold, invoking a soothing and relaxing ambiance for guests. The room features modern classic furnishings, carefully selected artwork, a hand-painted ceiling by Laura Margo Murals & Custom Art, and plush bedding, all contributing to an oasis of luxury and sophistication. This boutique hotel experience for guests is further enhanced by a cozy sitting area for two, complete with comfortable chairs and a small table, perfect for enjoying a quiet conversation or a morning cup of coffee. Thoughtful touches, such as soft lighting, a textural rug from Intersource by Stark, and decorative pillows add to the overall sense of opulence and comfort. The result is a guest suite that combines charm with comfort, providing a serene retreat that feels both inviting and luxurious.
