Whether you’re awaiting the arrival of a house guest or you’re looking to better utilise a spare room in your home, an inviting guest bedroom that is both functional and stylish is the perfect addition to any abode.
Not sure how to spruce up your space? You’ve come to the right place.
Start with the essentials
The basis of any great guest room includes a bed, bedside tables, a wardrobe or chest of drawers for your guest to store their clothes, lighting and accessible power outlets.
If your guest is planning to stay for an extended period of time, consider adding a study desk and a comfy couch, but be sure not to over-clutter the space.
Create a theme
Start with coordinating a theme for the room that feels cosy and inviting. A natural palette that is cross seasonal works well in a guest room as it means you’ll spend less time updating the room throughout the year.
For a timeless colour palette, include shades of beige, white, grey or black as your primary colours and utilise green, blue or blush as your accent colours. Adding indoor plants or a throw rug can also liven up any space.
Maintain the space
While your guest bedroom may not be the most used room in your home, be sure to maintain it and clean it as you would with any other room in your home.
Change the sheets before your guest arrives and mop, vacuum and dust within your usual cleaning schedule.
Add a touch of hotel bliss
Is there anything better than chocolates on your hotel pillow? Make your guest feel welcome by adding a little extra TLC before their stay.
Fresh towels, toothbrushes, soap, water bottles, charging cables a sweet treat and slippers will make your guest feel right at home!
