T.D.C: Tips for Creating a Beautiful Guest Room

Just days away from the start of the holiday season, many of you will be preparing for the arrival of friends and family for Christmas. If you're having guests to stay, either at home for the festivities or perhaps at the bach over summer, you will no doubt want to provide a welcoming space. To help, I've put together some of my tips for adding some simple finishing touches to the guest room.

To freshen up the bedding without going all out with a new set, buy a light-weight throw. A pop of colour or geometric design will add some fun and texture.

Hang an artwork to inject some personality into the room. It doesn't have to be expensive or even framed. Simply stick a magazine tear sheet to the wall with washi tape, like I did here. If it's for a bach, find something that has a relaxed summer vibe.

Ensure there is adequate lighting for reading with a beside table lamp or wall light. I also recommend plug in night lights. There is nothing worse than stumbling to the bathroom in the dark in unfamiliar surroundings!

Bring some nature indoors, either with fresh flowers or a small potted plant.

Place a lovely, scented candle by the bedside.

Make sure there is a mirror, either in the bedroom or adjoining bathroom.

Choose soaps that are made from natural ingredients and are packaged beautifully, and hang fresh towels. Turkish towels have a lovely beachy vibe, while bold patterns will add some zing.

Beautifully simple and relaxed, this would make a lovely guest bedroom.
