How to make a guest room inviting and cozy? Keep it clean and simple. No personal things or family photos. Keep colours to a minimum. Think about your guests and their needs. How many typically stay in the room at one time? Are there kids? How long do they typically stay? Will they have many clothes to unpack? Consider a comfy bed (or two), crisp sheets, a duvet and some extra blankets, plush pillows, a night stand with a lamp for reading, a clock, and a bench or dresser to lay clothes on. You might also install some hooks to hang clothes, and keep a basket filled with necessities such as towels, a toothbrush, a glass for water, and tissues handy. And add some fresh flowers- always a nice touch!
Here are some beautiful and simple cottage guest bedrooms for inspiration.
