Whichever design style you pick, ensure that the décor is minimal and functional. Your guests should be able to use the room for themselves. If the room feels too busy or kitschy, they might find it difficult to get comfortable. A guest bedroom idea is to create nooks that provide the illusion of enclosing space, amplifying the intimacy. Lighting in the room is a crucial design element. Ample natural light can make the room appear bright and fresh. Softer lighting options like string lights, candles, lamps, etc., will make the guest bedroom snug and restful. Enhance the effect of the soft lighting by strategically placing mirrors in the room.
Guest room décor ideas
We’ve seen some ways in which various design elements in a room can influence the ambience. Décor in the room, small or big, can have just as significant an impact. The details you add with décor add visual interest and personality. It is also through the décor that you can entice the different senses. Tactile elements, optical components, scents all combined will add to the vibe of the room.
To make the guest room feel homey, layer textiles for the bedding and add throw pillows. Area rugs can also make the room feel warm. The fabric used in a room does a lot to set the tone in the room. The more fluffy and soft seeming the textile is, the more relaxing and friendly the room will appear. The bedding, the pile of throws or the rug, could be the statement piece in the room. A canopy for the bed is another opportunity to add textile to the guest bedroom.
Fresh flowers and greens liven up the room and, at the same time, add a personal touch. The guests will no doubt appreciate it. Place potted plants on the side tables or have a few hanging by the window. Create a seasonal centrepiece using fresh flora. Add scented candles or potpourri in the room for gentle, enveloping fragrance. These can easily be used to match the rest of the décor in the room.
Implementing these guest room décor ideas is sure to make your guests feel welcome in your home.
