• Dress the bed further by adding a down duvet, perfect for year around use. Duvet covers can be created or designed to complement your bed.
  
• Mix and match colors and simple patterns to make the bed uniquely your style.
  
• Accent pillows offer rich colors and beautiful designs, are an easy and affordable way to bring new life to your guest room. Mix fabric textures such as silks, rich velvets, and colorful cottons. Fabrics can be sensual to touch.
  
• Encourage sleeping in with, plush draperies that can darken a room, as well as keep outside noises to a minimum.
  
• Lighting in any room sets the mood, to avoid glare install dimmer switches for soft calming and filtered light.
  

  Fill a basket with items your guests will appreciate, magazines, a book of inspirational stories, even a pair of cozy slippers. Oh, and do not forget a soft, warm throw to cuddle up in.

The Bathroom

• Fill a pretty basket or container with shampoo, conditioners, bath salts, creamy soothing lotions, tooth brushes and soaps that will surely invite your guests to indulge in a relaxing soak or rejuvenating shower.
  
• Plush towels for your guests and they will marvel at your thoughtfulness. If you can co-ordinate with the bedroom decor.
  
• White towels and accessories give a feeling of clean and fresh, however if your budget does not allow for the addition of new towels, use your existing towels and create a designer look by adding matching ribbon or trim that compliment your guest bedroom.
  
• Bath linens are a great way to bring in holiday cheer in seasonal colour tones.
  
• A luxurious soft terry bathrobe for your guest to wrap in after that long soak.
  

If you are considering repainting the guest room, choose a paint tone that expresses calm…as well as warm and welcoming.
