Cosy Bedding For A Restful Sleep

From overnight stays to holiday visits, providing comfortable bedding is key to ensuring your guests have a restful sleep. Setting up bedding starts with making sure you have nice clean sheets and a stylish as well as a stylish and freshly washed quilt cover. For colder winter months, consider setting out a coverlet for additional warmth.

Snuggly Bedding Decor For A Decorative Touch

Beyond bed linen, thoughtful bedding choices can make your guest room feel more welcoming. Elevate your guest room with a combination or bed linen and additional accessories. Decorative cushions and throws give the illusion of time and effort going into the decorating of your guest room while instantly exuding cosiness and a homely ambience. Create a layered cushion display with European cushions, standard pillows and decorative cushions for a sophisticated and inviting bedding arrangement.

Feeling At Home With A Sense Of Privacy

Guests often appreciate a sense of privacy while travelling. For many, having their own personal space is essential, particularly for activities like changing clothes or relaxing. Blockout curtains are a great option for rooms where you want that added sense of privacy. While these curtains feature a blockout coating that prevents the sun from entering your space, they also prevent people from seeing into your space once the curtains are drawn. Not just for window furnishings, blockout curtains can also be installed in shared spaces, acting as a room divider for an added sense of privacy.

Ambient Aromas With Home Fragrances

Candles add a finishing touch to your guest room's decor and create a welcoming ambience. When it comes to decorating guest bedroom ideas, we often initially think of the visual accents when the overall ambience can have a particular effect on how our guests are feeling. Beyond the visual appeal, consider the overall ambience you want to create. Candles and other home fragrances such as diffusers are available in various scents to elicit specific aromas that appeal to our senses. When lit, candles can also offer additional mood lighting that promotes a sense of tranquillity one would often feel in a spa-like environment. For a guest room, consider candles with comforting scents like vanilla or citrus to refresh the space and make your guests feel at home,
