Decorating Your Guest Room

A tastefully decorated guestroom is the perfect treat for your guests. Not only does it reflect a part of your personality, it also speaks tons about your hospitality and sense of decor. Decorating a guest room does not have to be an expensive affair. A small budget, lots of creativity and ideas are all you need to create a cozy and welcoming guest room.

On this note, let’s take a look at some great tips for decorating and revamping a simple looking guest room:

Clear The Clutter: Getting rid of unwanted stuff from your guest room is an essential step in improving its appearance. Empty the closets/ drawers and clean them up. Spray an air-freshener to make them smell fresh. Bare rooms make for the best and most inviting guest rooms as they give an illusion of more space.
Add Flowers Or Plants: Flowers are one of the most affordable items of decor for instantly brightening up any room. Place them in an attractive looking jar or pitcher. You can also place an indoor plant in the room.
Create A Welcome Basket: Creating a welcome basket is an adorable gesture and one that’s sure to bring a smile across your guests face on entering the room. Decorate it and stock it with essentials like travel-size toiletries, a hand-towel, some snacks/sweets, a scented candle and even something to read. There’s no limit to what you can do with a welcome basket to make your guest feel special.
Add Elements Of Art: Infuse life onto your walls with the help of unique pieces of art or pictures. Barren walls exude a cold feeling whereas walls with something artistic on them create positive vibes in the room.
Incorporate Nightstands: Invest in a nightstand to complete the look of your guest-room. In addition to looking immensely beautiful, they also provide a lot of storage space. Style them with items like lamps, candles, books and even miniature plants or artifacts.
Use High-Quality Sheets: The sheets in your guest room have the potential of making or marring your room’s look. Always pay attention to the bedding you pick for the guest room by choosing only soft and supple sheets with a high-thread-count. Go for sheets with minimal patterns. Plain neutral colored sheets are ideal for guest rooms.
Create A Color Palette: A color palette creates a sense of continuity between every item in the room. Things don’t have to be of the exact same color. The colors can vary but should at least have the same tone. This applies to the bedsheets, window treatments, pillows and accessories in the room.
Add A Mirror: Mirrors are not only essential for your guest room, they are also wonderful items of decor that create an illusion of space and add light to a room.
