Decorating It - A Guest Bedroom

If you’re having visitors to stay for the holidays, now is the perfect time to get your spare room ready and turn it into a stylish retreat

Be generous with bedding Comfort is the most important factor in any guest room, and the best way to make family and friends feel right at home is with a bed with lots of layering options. Adrian Galiazzo from Snooze advises starting with a doona, throw and sheets, then “include an extra blanket or throw in the room to show you’ve thought ahead”. Your bedding should also suit the season. This time of year calls for light, breathable fabrics such as linen and cotton – “you don’t want guests sleeping on flannel sheets in the middle of summer”.
