First impressions matter, and your guest room sets the tone for your visitors’ stay. By updating small details now, you can ensure your guests feel comfortable, cared for, and inspired by the beauty of your home.
At Collins DuPont Design Group, we believe a thoughtfully designed guest space should feel as inviting and well-appointed as the rest of your home, and we are here to help!
Here are five ways to update your guest room so it’s ready for a comfortable, memorable stay.
1. Upgrade Bedding & Linens
Fresh, high-quality bedding instantly elevates a guest room. Opt for crisp white sheets, plush pillows in varying firmness levels, and a cozy throw at the foot of the bed. By artfully mixing textures, patterns and color together, beautiful bedding selections can elevate the entire space.
2. Add a Welcoming Touch with Accent Pillows & Throws
Accent pillows and throws bring in color, texture, and personality. We can help you choose fabrics that complement your home’s design style, from coastal-inspired patterns to luxurious velvets. This simple update can completely change the look and feel of the room.
3. Enhance Lighting for Comfort & Function
Ensure your guest room offers layered lighting. Bedside lamps are essential for reading, while an overhead fixture or ceiling fan light provides general illumination. Adding dimmers allows guests to adjust brightness to their preference. And functional, doesn’t mean the lighting shouldn’t be fun.
4. Refresh Your Walls
This could range from a beautiful wall covering on an accent wall, a fresh paint selection, a bold new headboard or some new thoughtfully curated art. No heavy renovation needed to make the entire room feel brand new.
5. Create Thoughtful Amenities
Make guests feel like they are at a 5 star hotel with beautiful towels. Then include a luggage rack and an empty dresser drawer so guests can unpack and feel at home. To finish off the experience, consider a small tray with a carafe and glass, fresh flowers, a beautiful candle, and a few snacks can go a long way.
At Collins DuPont Design Group, we specialize in creating luxurious, welcoming spaces for every room in the home.
