5. LIGHT IT UP

Lights can make a whole lot of difference to a room. So ensure you pick the right one. Even if you have a plain lampshade, you could dress it up with some crafty materials and give it a quirky look. Or just simple fairy lights inside a jar would change the look of the reading corner in a jiffy. Elvy houses some lamps, which you just cannot miss.

6. PLAY WITH PILLOWS

Throwing in lot of colourful pillows to add character to your room. Pillows also come in handy when your guests want to lay down with a book, working on a laptop or just snuggle up and doze off. Make sure to mix up and contrast the colours and also add some quirky cushions.

7. SPECIAL TOUCHES

When it comes to adding special touches to your guest room, think about the impact of details such as wallpaper, hanging planters and interesting curios. Robes and curtains can also be matched with the bedspread or the floor runner, to give a more stylish look.

8. HOOKS AND HANGERS  

Unlike you, your guests don’t have a designated spot in your home to tuck away purses and hang car keys. Make it easy for them by placing DIY hooks and hangers in their room.

9. BREAKFAST IN BED

Your guests will love this! Pamper them with an impromptu breakfast in bed. Ensure you have the right furniture for it or it can create quite a mess. Buy a robust bed tray table perfect for breakfast in bed. Made up in excellent quality crocodile embossed genuine leather in black, this one is a must have for those lazy days.
