“Transforming the spare room doesn’t have to be on onerous task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Instead, it’s about making simple changes to create a perfect space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A bathroom basket is a lovely way to make guests feel welcome and indulge them with luxurious treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Cosy blankets are also a lovely touch if the weather is chilly, and sweet smelling reed diffusers are ideal to leave the room feeling like a hotel.”<\/p>

9 special touches to pimp up your spare room like Meghan Markle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Move over Meghan Markle! The mattress specialists at WinstonsBeds<\/a> have looked at the special touches we can make to transform the spare room into a guest haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bathroom basket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a leaf out of Meghan’s book, but instead of finding time to make homemade bath salts, consider a basket filled with fluffy towels, sweet smelling bath oils, body and hand lotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also fill it with essentials such as hand soap, toothpaste and spare tooth brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep aids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ensure your guests get a full night’s sleep with a stylish eye mask to block out any light. <\/p>

You could also add a pillow mist or sleep spray with essential oils such as lavender or chamomile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink station<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Give your guests the hotel experience by creating a mini drink station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will mean they can enjoy a morning tea and coffee or herbal tea before bed, hotel style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could put a coffee machine in their room or a nice range of teas and coffees with a kettle and stylish mugs to match the d\u00e9cor.<\/p>

Sweet smells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add elegance to your guest bedroom with reed diffusers and candles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right scent will evoke a luxurious vibe within the room and leave guests feeling impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanging space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Guests will feel more at home if they have space to unpack properly and hang up their clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take any of your own clothing that you store in the spare room out, and hang up co-ordinating hangers to an empty wardrobe or clothes rail.<\/p>

Keeping warm and cooling down<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leave out extra blankets or quilts for guests in case their room gets chilly at night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer months, you could place a fan in the room for them to use if they need to so they can remain cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Add a few books to the room so guests can read before going to sleep if they like to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could include a mixture of coffee table books and popular novels to choose from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your guests are more likely to enjoy a magazine, you could add some up to date editions to the room instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Consider the light in your guest room and add lamps for a layered lighting approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring you have a lamp for reading and good lighting round a mirror is a good starting point to create ambience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declutter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the most important consideration is to avoid your guest room being an overflow storage area. Make sure it is cleared of clutter before your guests arrive. It’s a great opportunity to get rid of items that you no longer need or use, rather than just boxing it up and moving it elsewhere in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
