Each month we’re taking you inside a different space in the 2025 HGTV Dream Homeat Berkeley Hall. Designed by Court Atkins Group, built by Shoreline Construction and styled by HGTV’s Brian Patrick Flynn, the house is filled with rooms that make it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. This time we step inside the blue guest suite, a calm space at first glance that surprises with playful bursts of color.

Artful storage

On the opposite wall a navy dresser takes the practical role and makes it stylish. Brass pulls and tapered legs bring a hint of mid-century polish, while the framed Josef Albers prints above pack a vibrant punch. A vase filled with golden branches pulls the mustard tone across the room, keeping the palette lively.And then there’s the horse. A vintage sculpture mounted on the wall keeps watch with a slightly mischievous grin, adding the kind of detail that makes you pause and smile. Two black bistro chairs flank the dresser, sturdy enough for seating but just as handy for books or vinyl. A record player perched on top begs you to drop the needle and fill the space with music. At the foot of the bed a pair of woven ottomans make slipping off shoes or propping up tired feet feel easy. Every element plays its part, creating a room that’s equal parts practical and memorable.

The power of contrast

Wrapped in rich blue from floor to ceiling, this guest retreat begins with a soothing base. Then the accents step in. A golden linen headboard glows against the cool walls, while pillows in coral, denim and mustard pile on personality. The bed instantly becomes a centerpiece, proof that fearless choices can make a room sing.Skylights above pour in natural light and frame wide views of Lowcountry skies. Woven bamboo shades make it simple to shift from bright morning to mid-day nap. Beneath the windows a built-in seat doubles as storage and a perch. Piled with patterned pillows and a cheerful throw, it’s a spot made for curling up with a book or keeping an eye on the Tom Fazio fairways just outside.Rattan nightstands with scalloped skirts add texture, while swing-arm sconces make bedtime reading easy. Overhead, a round wood mirror softens the angles and ties in a coastal note. The mix of comfort and character leaves guests feeling both spoiled and at ease.
