One wall of the guestroom is hung with lined, organic silk curtains. "They're heavy enough to quiet the room and block sound from the adjoining rooms, and they lend a rich, luxurious quality to the space," Britt says. And the silk's subtle gleam is a rich-looking backdrop for the wood-framed bed. A flight of pillows in silk and other high-touch materials keep that bed looking beautiful between visitors. A pair of wood-and-metal nightstands can easily be transported to other rooms of the house and pressed into duty as side tables whenever they're needed.
