Has The Festive Season Got You Thinking About Upgrading Your Spare Room? Guest Bedroom Ideas

As the festive period is upon us, you might have been noticing your guest bedroom isn’t quite meeting your needs. Whether it’s lacking in comfort, style or versatility, we have put together some tips and ideas to give guest bedroom a makeover.  Keep reading to learn how to turn your forgotten space into a beautiful retreat your guests will never want to leave.

Guest Bedrooms Don’t Need to Be Neutral

You might have been led to believe that a guest bedroom should be neutral, but dark walls can help to create an inviting cosy guest bedroom.  As shown in our project above, a listed town house in Bath, by painting the walls in a rich, dark hue, you can turn a large room into a cocooning sanctuary that invites relaxation and sleep.

Make Your Guest Room Work for Multiple Occupants

If you would like your spare room to cater for as many different guest combinations as possible then a Zip and Link bed is a great solution.  This allows you to turn a double bed into two singles with ease, giving you the flexibility to accommodate different types of guests. Whether you have couples visiting or friends staying over, this is a simple yet effective way to make the most of your space.

Add Comfort with a Relaxing Seating Area

If you have the space, adding a chair or two can provide your guests with a place to relax and unwind when they’re not sleeping. A comfortable armchair and small table is perfect for curling up with a good book or enjoying a bit of quiet time away of the rest of the house. Your guests will appreciate having a designated space to retreat to.

Create a Warm and Cosy Atmosphere

To create a warm and cosy guest bedroom think about adding extra blankets and cushions, especially in the winter months.  Layer different textures such as soft wool throws, velvet cushions and plush bedding to give the room depth and an inviting, luxurious feel. Not only will this make the room more visually appealing, but it will also ensure your guests stay warm and comfortable all night long.

Experiment and Have Fun with the Design

One of the best parts about decorating a guest bedroom is that you have the freedom to experiment. As a guest room doesn’t get daily use, it’s the perfect place to explore bolder colours, patterns and furniture choices that you might not want in your own room. Experiment with wallpapers, bolder colours or mix and match textiles.

Make Use of Headboards

A headboard is a simple but effective way to add interest to a guest bedroom, especially if the space is on the smaller side. A patterned or shaped headboard can add interest without overwhelming the room. For a luxury hotel feel, consider an elongated headboard that extends past the bed and incorporates the bedside tables. This creates a seamless, modern look while adding a sense of sophistication.

Guest bedroom ideas – Final Thoughts

Upgrading your guest bedroom doesn’t have to be a daunting task.  With a few thoughtful touches and clever design ideas, you can transform your spare room into a welcoming and comfortable space that your guests will love. Whether you’re going for a cosy vibe, modern guest bedroom decor, or something a bit more playful, the key is to make the space feel personal, inviting, and adaptable to different needs.
