Create an inviting atmosphere with cosy bedding and plenty of pillows. Layering textures and fabric weights will not only add depth to the room but will allow guests to tailor the bed to their specific needs. Placing a thick pile rug by the side of the bed will also offer a treat underfoot when your guest first wakes up. Zoffany‘s new rug collection, in a luxurious wool and silk blend, comes in 32 different shades so you are sure to find a colour that suits.

Adding seating such as a chair or chaise lounge into your guest bedroom will offer a place for your guests to retire, to simply read a book or catch up on emails. This extra area means your guests aren’t restricted to just sleeping in the room, providing a personal space for relaxation. The Chester Moon Chair from Baxter will certainly stand out in any bedroom, with soft tufted leather inviting your guests to sit back and recline.

You don’t want the room to feel too formal and impersonal so add artwork or fresh flowers to bring character and interest to the scheme. Trowbridge Gallery offer a vast array of artwork including prints and photographs in beautiful handmade frames that can fit any interior scheme.

An inviting scent that will draw your visitors in is the perfect finishing touch to a guest bedroom. Room diffusers will fill the room with a beautiful aroma that will welcome guests as they enter and an array of scented candles will create a warm, inviting ambience. For an extra personal touch, choose someCountry Candle Company alphabet scented candles in your guests’ initials.

A guest bedroom needs to couple the comfort of a home with the small luxuries of a hotel. With a few thoughtful touches your guest bedroom can provide both the welcome and the wow factor that will leave a lasting impression.
