Create a welcoming guest room

One of the many perks of owning a comfortably spacious house is that you get to experiment with decor styles, explore your home's design potential and have fun changing up layouts. REALGLEN Properties has an array of sprawling properties on the market with endless possibilities for an ideal family home and enough room to host your special loved ones. 

 

 

It's important to remember the feeling you want to evoke from your guests. Do you want them to feel at home or like they're at a plush AirBnB without a care in the world? Whether you're going for homely comfort or extravagance, it would be wise to choose a bedroom in your home with an ensuite bathroom so your guests can enjoy some privacy during their stay. Adding essentials like quality linen, soft towels, toiletries and tasteful scented candles or essential oils will create a satisfying sensory experience. 

 

Personal touches according to individual guests would also be a bonus and leave a lasting impression. Take a leaf out of the top hotels in the world and leave a handwritten note along with an assortment of mini chocolates or mints. Even if they're the no-frills-and-fuss type, they will be sure to appreciate the effort you've made into making their stay feel as special as can be.

 

 

Ideally, you want your guests to have a memorable stay and feel relaxed in their surroundings. Opting for a clean, neutral colour palette is the way to go when decorating a guest room. Try to avoid prints that will quickly get dated and stick to classic finishes in a minimalist or contemporary style. It is up to you whether you want the guest room to flow with the rest of your home's decor or be a unique haven. 

 

 

The first step is making sure the room is large enough to accommodate your guests' needs during their stay. Have enough closet space for their belongings, basic amenities such as a dressing table and nightstands and even a television or bookshelf for their entertainment. These inclusions make for a seamless guest experience and show your hospitality skills extend to every request your guest might have. 

 

 

Declutter, deep clean and destress! Hygiene is a major factor in keeping your guests happy. Ensure you have the guest room spring-cleaned and free from any visual chaos. There's nothing more unappealing than staying in a dusty, neglected room. Once you meet your guests' basic needs, your thoughtfulness will shine through in every element. Adding a vase of fresh flowers or a snack jar to the room with bottles of their favourite beverages will be sure to add a smile to their stay. 

 

When selecting wall decor, mirrors are a simple way to elevate the room without overpowering it. Keep ornaments and obscure artwork at bay to avoid disturbing the tranquil environment you've curated. Scatter cushions and luxurious throws will make the bed the star of the show and set the stage for an opulent, yet functional room.
