How to Style a Welcoming Guest Room
Tip No.1
Considerate Extras
We absolutely love adding considerate extras to make your guests feel truly special. Add personal touches that reflect your guests' taste. A basket with snacks, some travel-sized toiletries, a water carafe and glasses by the bedside for that extra touch of hospitality that saves guests from navigating a dark hallway at 2 AM. Oh, and don't forget a guide to local attractions!
Tip No.2
Lots of Cozy Textiles
Creating a cozy haven is our forte. Layer the bed with soft throws, plump pillows, and a snug duvet to ensure your guests get a restful night's sleep. A comfortable rug by the bedside adds that extra warmth underfoot. We love the idea of your guests feeling wrapped in comfort and luxury.
Add Fresh Flowers or Faux Florals
Bringing in a touch of nature with fresh flowers adds life and warmth to the room. However, if you prefer a lasting touch, faux florals can do the trick beautifully, maintaining that welcoming vibe all year round. For the ultimate sensory experience, add a subtle scented candle or diffuser nearby to mimic that "fresh-cut" fragrance and set a restful mood.
A Simple Addition of Mirror
Prop a full-length mirror against a wall or hang a mirror in the guest room to provide your guests a convenient space for getting ready. It is a win-win for bringing in natural light and the illusion of space.
Prioritise Comfort and Convenience
Think about the small frustrations of travel. Since outlets are often hidden behind heavy furniture, provide a charging station with an extra-long cable. It's a essential that ensures your guests never have to hunt for a way to power their devices. Guests often have different temperature preferences, so it's also a good idea to provide a small fan or a space heater to adjust their own environment so they can stay comfortable throughout the night.
Provide Storage Space
Few things feel less "at home" than living out of a suitcase. Clear some space in the closet and hang up a few matching hangers for their clothes to make unpacking easy. It’s a small, high-end detail that instantly elevates the guest experience. If you don't have a spare closet, a simple luggage rack or a bench at the foot of the bed to keep suitcases off the floor and easily accessible.

Add Local Tips for a Memorable Stay
Infuse a bit of local culture into the bedroom so guests feel connected to the area. It could be artwork from local artists, a small basket with local snacks, or a map of the area with your top three favourite coffee shops, while they are out exploring the surroundings.
