GUEST<br />

BEDROOM<br />

OVERHAUL<br />

REDECORATE - updating the room and<br />

adding elements of interest like panelling can be<br />

transformative.<br />

NEW BED - lots of us have guest rooms<br />

with beds that have been retired from service<br />

somewhere else in the house. Making sure the<br />

bed is comfortable and inviting, plus aesthetically<br />

pleasing gives an instant update - after all, it is the<br />

biggest thing in the room.<br />

SOFA BED - for many of us, our guest room<br />

is now our home office, so it might make more<br />

sense to have a sofa bed that can act as a break<br />

out space when you’re working and save space<br />

when not in use.<br />

QUICK FIXES<br />

NEW LIGHTING - some new table lamps can<br />

refresh the space, or you can get wall lights with plugs<br />

to save space on the bedside tables.<br />

NEW BEDDING - new bedding really refreshes<br />

a space. Think about providing enough pillows and lots<br />

of layers like blankets and quilts - it makes a space feel<br />

inviting.<br />

ADD ACCESSORIES - decorative elements<br />

breathe life into a space - too often, guest rooms look<br />

forgotten about. Pair it right back, get rid of the clutter<br />

and add things like a reed diffuser, cushions on the bed,<br />

a mirror and a vase of flowers or a house plant.<br />

The perfect sofa bed for smaller spaces -<br />

MAKE IT INVITING - adding things like fluffy<br />

towels, a nice cotton robe to wear or a basket with<br />

essentials like toothpaste,<br />
