The Guest Room

As an interior designer, one of my all-time favorite rooms to design is the guest room. I have many reasons why, but the main one is that clients want designs that are a little different for the guest room than the other more frequently used spaces and that’s just plain fun. But when we compare the guest room design to soul design, there’s a deeper meaning.  When it comes to soul design, the guest room is the space you have for others and their opinions. We want to be accommodating and comfortable but at what cost? We don’t want everyone overstaying their welcome or treating us like a hotel. In this episode, I explain how the guest room needs boundaries and how sometimes the need to reevaluate existing boundaries will arise.  Show Notes: [0:45] - Being comfortable in your body is an amazing form of freedom. [1:54] - The messages you get from the people around you have an impact on your self- esteem. [3:11] - Frequently used rooms have specific needs. But the guest room is a room where you can design a little more “off the wall.” [4:16] - Many of Jameelah’s clients are the first in their families to have achieved the level of success to afford her services. [5:24] - You can make your guest room as a hotel, but think about how people treat hotels. Jameelah advises not to make people too comfortable. [7:00] - Guest rooms should be comfortable and accommodating, but you don’t want people to stay too long. [8:15] - If you feel that you can’t be yourself, you need to reevaluate your boundaries. [9:40] - Jameelah explains how being too trusting during a difficult time caused her to reevaluate her boundaries and those in her circle. [10:51] - Not everyone deserves the same boundaries.
