www.norsu.com.au www.anboise.com GUEST BEDROOM perfection DON’T: WORRY IF YOU DON’T HAVE LOADS OF SPACE Ultimately you have to work with what you’ve got - in the last 18 months, many of us have seen our guest rooms overhauled into home offices. If you’ve ditched the bed don’t worry - how about adding an attractive sofa bed that you can actually use the rest of the time as a break out area from your desk. DO: PROVIDE BASIC AMENITIES The more things you can put in the room to make their stay easier, without having to ask you for everything, the more relaxed everyone will feel. A mirror is important, as are fresh towels, tissues, and perhaps even a hair dryer. A bedside carafe and some glasses means they can help themselves to water too. DO: INVEST IN GOOD WINDOW TREATMENTS As you might have never slept in this space, you might not know how light behaves or how effective the current window treatments are for blocking out light. For a really luxurious look, pair blackout blinds or shutters with thick, decorative drapery. DON’T: SETTLE FOR A LUMPY MATTRESS The same goes for the mattress as the window treatments - spend a night in the room and see if the bed is up to scratch. DO: PROVIDE GOOD LIGHTING Multi-level lighting is key for making a space feel cosy - make sure there are two bedside lamps and then another light source in the space, such as a standing lamp in the corner or a lamp on a dressing table DON’T: SKIMP ON THE BED LINENS Good bed linen really is worth the money - and it tends to wash better too. Provide a good quality duvet and pillows, linens and some additional blankets if your guests feel the cold. DO: CREATE SOMEWHERE THEY CAN UNPACK We all know it’s a bit stressful trying to live out of a suitcase - allowing for some hanging space and a few drawers to unpack into, can really help guests keep on top of things whilst they’re with you. DO: MAKE IT SMELL LOVELY Kit the room out with either fresh flowers, a reed diffuser, or room sprays. DON’T: BE A PERFECTIONIST If your guests were hoping for hotel standards, then that’s where they should have stayed. Just aim to make sure the space is clean, comfortable and functional, then relax - there’s enough to be worrying about in the festive season without adding high expectations on top of that.
