I've been noticing a surprising formula lately: the price of a B&B room is indirectly proportional to the ugliness of said room's decor. By which I mean, the primo rooms are disasters of carved wood and gilded mirrors and seizure-inducing toile, while the cheapest rooms are generally understated and thoroughly inoffensive. It's like the less they spend on decorating, the less likely you are to stare at pink floral wallpaper and gold cherub statues. Take the Swann House (left) on Dupont Circle in DC, for example; the $265 Blue Sky Suite is pattern-mania, while the cut-rate Nantucket and Shanghai'daway rooms are minimalist and modern. Even the sea horse wallpaper is cute.
Keep the toile.
