Infuse the room with your style
You can create a guest room that is exceptionally suited to your style and your visitors’ comfort and enjoyment.
Choose a color palette that’s soothing, but works well with the colors you’ve chosen for the other rooms in your home
The most successfully executed guest rooms are done in a soft and soothing color palette, one in which the stress of travel and everyday worries can slip away and be replaced with a sense of peace and calm for weary guests.
Add as many luxe elements as possible
If you’re going to splurge, be sure it’s on high-end elements like a top of the line mattress, pillows, bedding and, luxuriously soft towels.
Make your guests feel pampered
Add lots of extra touches that will make visitors feel pampered and welcome in your home. Those elements might include a food and beverage cart or bar, travel-size personal care items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, and such. A temporary charging station for cell phones, fitness watches, or e-readers should please. You’ll know your guests and what special touches they’ll appreciate.
Be sure every single accessory or piece of furniture has a purpose, whether functional or decorative
Too often, a guest room can become a storage space for things that no longer fit into other rooms but are just too good to discard or have so much sentimental value they’re hard to part with. To avoid this, a guest room will be at its best if you only select furniture that adds beauty or functionally to that particular space and decorative accessories that merge seamlessly into the room
Create at least one WOW factor in your guest space
Does your guest room include access to the outdoors? Then create a tiny oasis with outdoor chairs, tables, and a chaise lounge or two. Is the bathroom extra roomy? Turn into a spa-like experience. If space will allow, create a comfortable sitting area. Even a comfy chair and side table will work in a small room. Any of those things and lots of others can bring unexpected luxury that those special guests will long remember.
Think COMFORT at every turn
Above all, never forget the primary purpose of a guest room is to give visitors a safe, comfortable space to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Consider temperature, light, mattress, pillows and bedding.
These are just a few tips to help you on your way to the guest room the best that it can be. Once you begin to think about surrounding your visitors with luxury and comfort, you’ll have more and more ideas about turning your guest room into a personalized getaway retreat. We would love to help you bring your vision to life. See you soon!
