The guest bedroom tends to fall by the wayside when it comes to planning. When moving into a new home your attention, of course, turns to your own room. Now that mine is almost complete, I’ve been planning what to do with my guest bedroom. I want to create a peaceful space which has a home away from home feel for my guests. My colour palette is simple; blue and white. I wanted something that looks fresh and airy.
1. Light a nice smelling candle, many of our emotions are centered around scent. Create a relaxing environment by lighting it before your guest arrives.
2. Make sure your room has fresh flowers, adding a personal touch like this makes all the difference. I love white peonies, a little bouquet on the window or dresser will be enough to impress your guests.
3. Fluffy fresh white towels are a sure fire way to make sure your guest feels like they are surrounded by luxury. You could even add a fluffy white dressing gown to the back of the door.
4. Leave a jug of ice water and a glass in their room. This will save them the job of searching all your kitchen cupboards for a glass later.
5. Before bed spray their pillow with thisworks pillow spray, I swear by this now. It will help your guest to drift off into a natural sleep.
There are my top tips for the guest bedroom; don’t blame me when your friends or relatives want to stay every weekend!
