SHF Living: Style Your Guest Bedroom With Elegance

It’s the holiday season and you may be expecting guests from out of town. It’s time to get that guest bedroom ready and create a restful sanctuary for your visitors. Here we bring you some essentials to create a homely room that is elegant and inviting, with inspiration from SHF Living.

1. Warm it up

Warm colours can add life to your guest bedroom, so instead of stark colours like white on white, go for undertones with a warmer palette. Choose a soothing wall colour and let this set the tone for your space. Add pops of summery colours through your choice of accents like scatters, throws and rugs. These elements will help to soften the edge of your room and add to the comfort level which your guests will surely appreciate.

2. Don’t skimp on furniture

Invest in solid furniture that will make a great first impression. We love the idea of a glamourous poster bed as a statement of style in the guest bedroom. Pair it with a bold rattan seat or lighting and let it create an intimate yet inviting retreat for your guests. A great bed is essential to help your guests get a good night’s rest too!

3. Don’t be afraid to go dramatic

A little drama goes a long way, such as this beautiful poster bed featuring detailed turned-wood legs (below). The white frame pops against a dark and sultry backdrop. It’s intriguing but invites you in for a wonderful stay. Add extra throws to the end of the bed too. This will give your guests added comfort on chillier evenings.

4. Consider Personal Touches

When you’re not in the safe space of your own home, it’s always great to know that your hosts have considered your personal preferences and needs. Add interesting art to the walls of your guest bedroom or bold accents to the dresser for some texture and colour in the space. You can also incorporate some greenery or potted plants for a burst of freshness. This will create an inspiring setting for rest and relaxation.
