Pick a colour scheme
Start by choosing the right colour palette. Make use of the colour wheel to decide what type of scheme works best for the mood your client wants to create for the guest room. You can discuss your client’s preferences when it comes to wall colours. If you wish to play it safe, you can stick to neutrals. However, if you wish to experiment, you can decorate the room with more bright or moody colours. You can’t go wrong with a neutral scheme teamed with one or two accent hues to add some colour to the space. The idea is to design a room that the guests will want to rest in during their travels. Berger Paints has a wide range of colours that you can choose from.

Choose the right fabrics
You need to add fabrics and surfaces that feel just as good as they look. Getting the bedding right is imperative if you wish to ensure that the guests have a comfortable stay. It is a great idea to opt for a classic style that is timeless in design. You can add a large, cushioned headboard in the room to create a striking visual impact. Add comfy sheets and duvets in natural fabrics that the guests will love to crawl into. Throw in a cashmere blanket in a gorgeous shade. Blinds and dark curtains is a good idea, especially if your client has guests visiting from abroad often and will want to rest during the day due to jetlag.

Create the perfect dressing set up
The guest room should be welcoming in terms of its design and amenities. Creating a dressing area is a good idea for the guests. Install a full-length mirror with a wing-back chair. You don’t want to make the guest room look like it was an afterthought, so go ahead and add a framed art or a floral arrangement on the dressing table.
-
Make storage easy
Maximum storage space is always welcome. If you don’t want the space to look cluttered with storage boxes and linen baskets, think vertical. You can create clever storage solutions like a built-in closet and shelves where guest towels and extra linens can be stored.
-
Let there be light
Make sure there is plenty of natural lighting for your guests to wake up to. Some good vitamin D is always a great way to kick-start the day! The ceiling lights should provide general illumination for the entire room. You can go for semi-flush light and chandeliers for ambient lighting.
