3. Choose the Perfect Quilt
The right quilt can make all the difference in the comfort of your guest bedroom. Consider investing in a bamboo quilt for a sustainable and comfortable bedding option. Alternatively, opt for an all-seasons quilt to ensure your guests stay comfortable year-round, no matter the weather.

7. Don't Forget the Extras
Adding extra touches to your guest bedroom can make a significant difference in the overall experience for your guests. Consider providing plush bath robes.
8. Include Soft Lighting
Soft lighting creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in your guest bedroom. Consider using bedside lamps with warm-toned bulbs, or even fairy lights to add a touch of whimsy and charm.
9. Provide Storage Space
Ensure your guests have ample storage space for their belongings. Include a wardrobe or chest of drawers, as well as hooks or hangers for coats and bags. Providing a luggage rack or bench is another thoughtful addition that allows guests to unpack with ease.
10. Add Personal Touches
Incorporate personal touches into your guest bedroom to make it feel more welcoming. Consider displaying artwork, photographs, or decorative items that reflect your personal style or the local area. Adding a vase of fresh flowers or a potted plant can also bring life and colour to the space.
11. Keep it Clean and Uncluttered
Maintain a clean and uncluttered guest bedroom to ensure your visitors feel comfortable and relaxed. Regularly launder your bedding, following our guide on how often to wash and replace bedding. Additionally, make sure to vacuum, dust, and refresh the room between visits.
12. Provide Entertainment
Offer your guests entertainment options such as books, magazines, or a television. Providing access to Wi-Fi and including a list of local attractions and recommendations can also help your guests feel at home.
13. Don't Forget the Bathroom
Don't forget to pay attention to the guest bathroom. Stock it with high-quality towels like Sheridan's Luxury Egyptian Cotton Bath Towel. Provide toiletries such as soap, shampoo, and conditioner, as well as a few extra items like cotton balls, toothpaste, and a disposable razor, just in case your guests forget to bring their own.
14. Make it Smell Lovely
Scent is a powerful way to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere in your guest bedroom. Use a subtle room spray or scented candles to add a pleasant fragrance to the space. Be mindful of potential allergies and choose mild, natural scents to avoid overwhelming your guests.
By following these tips and tricks, you can create a cosy and inviting guest bedroom that will leave your visitors feeling pampered and well-rested.
