1. How to Decorate a Guest Room? Expecting special guests soon? Or do you love entertaining guests at home? You can find numerous inspirations on how to decorate a guest room today. But the key here is to make the best use of your space to make your guests feel welcomed. Whether you are moving to a new house or planning to spruce up the existing one, the guest bedroom is important. Before doing anything, keep in mind that your guests will feel loved in an inspiring and relaxing space. While that feels too much to ask for, it isn’t like that. Interior designers have been sharing ideas to renovate a guest room for good. And here, we will look at a few such inspirations that you can follow to give yours a special touch. So, let’s look at those amazing décor ideas you can use to renovate or refresh your guest bedroom. Focus on the Bed as a Centrepiece The bed can be the room’s focal point. Or you can choose an attractive headboard to create a beautiful guest bedroom. But do you know what the common mistake you are likely to make here is? Choosing average bedding or design just because you aren’t going to use it much. But you shouldn’t do that. Instead, look for something good in terms of both comfort and design. Pick a bed or headboard that features a unique frame design with a fun fabric.

2. Alternatively, you can also create a wonderful space with a neutral fabric having some texture. Check out the Sawmill Louver Bed for a blend of subdued transitional design and rustic charm in the room. Choosing the right bed is a great approach to setting the room’s tone, style, look, and feel. Add a Sitting Place Let your guests more than just lay on the bed and sleep in the room. Add a seating space to the guestroom so they can unwind in private when they feel like it. If there is sufficient space in the room, you can add a bench for the guests to rest their legs.

3. Hey! Don’t forget to add some area for luggage storing. If the space allows, add a couple of chairs with a coffee table. You can dedicate a nook to this using the Universal Furniture Coffee Table for early morning coffee or chitchat. Mix and Match Got some old furniture that you don’t want to throw away? Does it feel incomplete for a complete room? Ride the blend train and get some new items to mix with them and create a wonderful space. Using this transitional décor idea also helps you save some bucks while decorating the guest room. You can reuse that antique bed from your grandmother’s room and pick items from other rooms. Combine different modern and vintage furniture items to create a subtle mix and give the room a lively and warm aura. For instance, you can add the Riverside Furniture Dresser Mirror to a dresser you already own. You can also get the dresser painted to match the guest room’s interiors and other furniture. Make an Accent Wall A fun statement wall can add interest to the guest room. And that serves the purpose of the room which is to entertain and attract the guests. You have many options to do this. Go for bold paint, organic texture, or funky wallpaper. Creating an accent wall will effectively add interest to the space without making it feel overwhelming. Add Freshness with Flowers A small yet mighty add-on, fresh flowers will make the guest bedroom feel lively. Moreover, this will make your guests feel more welcomed, showing that you are excited about their arrival. A brilliant example is mixing pink flowers with white and black décor for an inspirational guest room. Add Decorative and Fun Throw Pillows Why go with the basic pillows when you can use them to add fun and décor? Mix the room’s sleeping pillows to make guests feel at home. This also serves varied preferences for sleeping pillows that change with every person. Adding decorative pillows can help add a sprinkle of colors, transitional styling, and beautiful patterns to neutral room decor. Offer Storage Options That’s one of the basic features of that room. When guests arrive, they are likely to bring luggage unless they are making a quick visit. So, if you don’t offer a storage option in the room, your guests may not feel good. You can add nightstands, dressers, and other options depending on how much the space can accommodate. You can also use these items to elevate the room’s décor.

4. Top Options in All Budgets for your Bedroom Are you planning a renovation, a remodel, or a simple refresh?

7. Natural Decor Allows You to Bring the Outside Inside Do you know why most people plan trips to places inspired by nature for vacations? Well! That’s because of the calming effect greenery and nature have on humans. While nature does not impact everyone the same way, it soothes most minds. Maybe that’s why we have green rooms instead of red or any other color. But you spend most time indoors. Don’t worry! You can bring the aura of the outdoors inside with just the right setup. Here, we will discuss some amazing natural décor ideas

8. that you can follow to add indoor greenery. And, you can use them alongside your existing furniture like Universal Furniture Round Dining Table and others. Declutter your space Everyone requires room to breathe, even nature. That’s why this should be your priority. You need to create a clean space that should feel similar to an oasis. Reducing clutter is the first step in this direction because a natural environment is beautiful, not cluttered. Categorize everything you have into things you want to keep, put away, donate, or sell. You can proceed one step at a time, dividing the entire space into mini areas (or projects). Add greenery and plants Have you thought of using plants for decoration? Or already got them? Indoor plants have gained popularity for their calming effects indoors. So, if you want a serene and green oasis, greenery and plants offer the simplest approach. And, many indoor plants don’t need daily watering. But natural environments include hills and flat terrains, and you don’t have a huge indoor area to accommodate them all. Still, you have walls that in most cases stay empty or get minimal décor attention. You can use trailing or tall plants to add a vertical impact there. Besides, you can opt for natural (earthy and neutral) tones for furniture items like Lancaster media chest

9. Cut flowers and foliage If live plants feel like too much effort, you can use cut foliage for the décor. This cut-out greenery can create a perfect natural décor with the least effort and you can even dry them. You can go with a branch or two of foliage in a glass kept on the table top to bridge the gap between indoors and outdoors. Since cut foliage can last for months, you can never go wrong with seasonal flowers. Even three stems in a vase can be enough for a dramatic décor impact. Natural elements and objects We have been talking about plants and greenery but that’s not the only thing you need. You can also use items that represent nature or are taken sustainably from it. •Representing nature: Alternatively, you can use objects other than natural materials that represent nature and evoke the same feeling. For instance, consider photography, decorative objects, artwork, and sculptures. •Natural décor material: Do you love the warmth and coziness you feel in nature’s lap? Of course, you do. And, you can bring the same indoors with natural décor. No, it’s not about flora and fauna. We’re talking about breathable and comfortable natural fibers. Consider buying furniture and décor made of stone, wicker, rattan, and wood. Examples include stone tabletops, woven storage baskets, rough-hewn beams, rattan chairs, and more. •Nature-inspired color palettes: What’s your favorite color (or colors)? When choosing the palette for your indoor oasis, go with your gut feeling. That’s because you desire a space that will make you feel serene, inspired, and great. •For a nature-inspired color palette, you can go with elements such as neutral earth tones, greens, and blues. Ask yourself this. Do you feel cool and gathered looking at white or beige walls or yawn at them? For the best decision, take pictures with different shades to compare them right away. Seasonal Décor Seasons change and highlight nature’s beauty in different shades throughout the year. And you can do the same by changing the interior décor of your space. •Winters: This season represents rest and dormancy. Think of the only plants that are preserved during winters, the evergreens. Switch to heavy shades and cozy fabrics like wool for a touch of the season. •Springs:Renewal and birth follow the winter’s dark and cold. Use pastels and other light colors to bring home the vibes of this season. •Summers:Summers are lovely. Aren’t they? From seasonal fruits to flowers and veggies, summer brings in a wonderful cover of green foliage. Bring in greenery with branches in a vase or container. •Fall: Fruits and berries replace the summer flowers. Dark shades again start returning with the turn of seasons.
