Pick a Fun Theme

Guest rooms are a fantastic place to play with different themes and have fun with decor! Go all in on Rococo furniture, complete with a sweet vintage book case and antique furnishings, or lean into Maximalism and create an eclectic gallery wall full of your favorite art pieces and other striking wall decor. Regardless of what theme you choose, select one that excites you. Chances are it will excite your guest as well!

Focus on Comfort

If you are short on decoration ideas for guest room designs, a fail-safe tactic is to focus on comfort! Don’t be afraid to load up your guest bed with a variety of unique and eye-catching throw pillows or add a cozy blanket to the end of the bed for a splash of color and added warmth. You can even add some comfortable seating – giving your guests options when it comes to relaxing!

Don’t be Afraid to Refresh!

Lastly, don’t hesitate to revamp and refresh your guest room if it isn’t pleasing you! While a guest room primarily serves as a private oasis for visitors, it is still an integral part of your home and its furnishings should reflect your own personality and style. Not only that, but it can be fun to switch up the decor based on the season or give an old vintage book case a fresh coat of paint to switch up the color palette, whatever fits best into your home and personal style!
