Preparing for visitors is a great opportunity to refresh your guest bedroom. By adding some luxe touches and thoughtful details, you can create a warm and inviting space that your guests will love. Here are a few tips to create a space that's both stylish and functional.

Start with a clean slate: Before you begin decorating, give the room a thorough cleaning. Wash the linens, dust the surfaces, and vacuum the floors to create a fresh canvas for your new decor.

Invest in high-quality linens: Soft, luxurious linens can make all the difference when it comes to creating a cozy guest bedroom. Consider investing in high-quality sheets, pillows, and blankets. Bonus for adding extra bed pillows to the room so guests can choose the right level of plumpness and firmness for their liking.

Add some color and texture: A few carefully chosen accents can add warmth and personality to the room. Consider adding a plush rug and colorful throw pillows. We love a copy throw draped over the bed.

Create storage solutions: Your guests will appreciate having plenty of storage space for their belongings. Consider adding a dresser or nightstand with drawers, or provide some hanging space with a stylish clothes rack.

Seating is a must: Even if you don’t have space for a sofa, most rooms can accommodate a chair in the corner. Guests always love a comfortable place to sit. Bonus points for adding an upholstered bench at the foot of the bed.

Don't forget the lighting: Good lighting is key to creating a welcoming atmosphere. Make sure the room has plenty of natural light, and add some table lamps or a floor lamp for a cozy glow. Make sire the nightstand lamp has the right level of brightness for the room and consider adding a dimmer for added comfort.

Add some personal touches: A few thoughtful details can make your guests feel right at home. Consider adding a vase of fresh flowers, some scented candles, or a basket of snacks and beverages. Notebooks and journals are added details many will appreciate.

Finish with a flourish: Finally, add a finishing touch to the room that will make your guests feel truly pampered. Consider placing a luxurious bathrobe or a plush throw blanket on the bed, or leave a welcome note with some tips for exploring the area.

Using these simple strategies your guests will feel like they're staying in a five-star hotel.
