Guest Room in a Trunk from Walmart

The Holiday season in drawing near and you may be having family or friends staying the night with you. Now, that my sister moved halfway across the country 😭 I've had no place for them to sleep when they spend the night.

I desperately needed a plan for when they visit during Christmas! I had an idea of getting a trunk to put everything I would need in. The search on Walmart.com commenced!!!!

P.S. I have never been disappointed when I search for items at Walmart for my projects. I love that I can find budget-friendly products, and can either browse in the store, order for pickup in store, or get it shipped directly to me.

Keep reading to see what all I got to make this easy and functional "Popup Guest Bedroom" possible for under $425!

Get all the product details below!

I love that I can find things from Walmart in-store or Walmart online at reasonable prices and this was another example of how I could find everything I needed at Walmart.

This Trunk Blew My Mind!

This BEAUTIFUL trunk that is a great dupe for the Pottery Barn trunk that is at least 3x the price. 🙀 I couldn't believe how big it was when it came in. It is truly amazing. It comes in 2 sizes XL (that's what I got it) and a smaller size. The XL easily holds 2 pillows, a queen air mattress, duvet insert, blankets & more!

The Bed

This Queen size Intex Plush 18inch air mattress is on sale for $49.88 and has a built in pump!

Better Homes & Garden Sheet Set

I love that these sheets are wrinkle-free and of course BH&G is a trusted brand so I felt good about it before they even got here. They fit the Queen size air mattress perfectly!

Down Alternative Comforter

Pillows

Grey Coverlet

Plaid Throw

Accent Pillows

I am not surprised that I was able to find all the things I needed from Walmart and ordered everything at once, so I could be ready for the Holidays!

Laundry Room Makeover

Still can’t get over the transformation in this space!! The built in storage cabinets is my absolute favorite thing we did! We had to fill in an exterior door so that would we could add those but it was the best decision we made and provided us with some much needed storage! 🤩🤩

I feel like half my life is spent in this room doing never ending laundry so at least I can enjoy looking at it while I’m in here!🤪😂

I tried to keep most of the items affordable and lower budget so that the bulk of the budget was definitely the the custom cabinetry and closing up the door to have a solid wall.

More Views of the Space

A Little Backstory

We were so fortunate when we bought this house in 2013 that is had a large size laundry room. But, it didn't have any kind of storage or built in. Just 2 small cabinets. There was an exterior door that we didn't use very often.

We had to get rid of the door!

When we were laying it out, we realized if we take the door out, that would open up a lot of opportunities to create a space that was functional for us.

The first thing we did was call our cabinet company and sat down with them to show our inspiration pictures and just talk about what was possible with them.

My Inspiration

The Cabinets

As you can tell the wall cabinet is the focal piece of the room. And we wanted to go bold! We ended up going with Greenblack by Sherwin Williams

Cabinet Hardware

Battlecreek Hardware is one of my favorites brands and I have ordered many samples over the years trying to find the best brass and quality for the price.

Here's what all I got from Battlecreek Hardware:

Portland Classic Bar Pull 7 1/2″

---

Midwest Cup Pull 7 1/2″

---

Portland Detail Cup Pull 3 3/4″

---

Portland Round Top Knob

---

Portland Latch

More Cabinet Info

You probably noticed the vents in the cabinets. We knew we would be storing cleaning supplies, mops, brooms, sheets, outside boots, etc. and I didn't want things to be closed up. This allows for the ventilation we knew we needed!

The Wall Color

There is not a lot of natural light in this room so we wanted to do a lighter color on walls since we went with a bold color on the cabinet piece. The color we chose was Useful Gray by Sherwin Williams. It's a good mix between a grey and a beige. I love that this allowed us to keep a light and airy feel without being just white.

More Details & Products Used

Shaker Peg Hooks

There were a lot of questions about the piece in the middle of the room.

My Statement Piece

It's just an old English pine counter that I got from one of our events.

That's one of the things I love about our event—being able to find unique pieces that add that good character to a space and a statement piece. This definitely did that!

The Rug

I love a good classic print like plaid or stripes so you won't be surprised that I chose a classic plaid neutral rug. It really tied in perfect with the space and didn't take away from the pine statement piece. I am so happy with it!

The Light Fixture

The Baskets

I highly recommend the baskets from the Target Studio McGee line!

To Sum Things Up....

I really just wanted to go with a timeless, super simplistic but functional space that would grow with us in this house. And, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time in here let's be honest (I feel like I'm always in the laundry room do y'all not??? Lord bless all mothers & fathers AMEN 😩🙏😜)
