These fabulous rooms feature a wide range of styles, including traditional, contemporary, French Country, British Colonial, and Zen--and they're all shown in large color pictures that make it easy to view every dazzling decorative detail. Some are gracious and spacious, others have twin beds, and still more take a "no frills" masculine approach. Almost everyone will appreciate the deas for rooms that do double duty and serve other functions when the visitors go away. Find out exactly what amenities the experts feel should be in every guest room, and see what advice they have to offer on specifics such as thread counts for the sheets, pillow firmness, ceiling fans, and lighting options.
