It is a room that is often left until the very end. At the same time, believe it or not, guest bedrooms are something that can often steal the show in a home.

After all, they are the room that allows guests to see your home at its most intimate. A lot of visitors will not be provided with a glimpse of the so-called private quarters of a house, meaning that the guest bedroom can really provide an insight into the true decor of your home.

As we all know, most renovation budgets are dedicated to kitchens and bathrooms. Naturally, a room which is only used for a few days a year is not going to grab the same monetary attention.

Bearing this in mind, today we are going to look at three easy and cheap hacks you can implement to bring your guest bedroom up to scratch. It's not going to involve any wholesale changes but trust us, it will make a difference.

Tip #1 - Warm colors are in

You might be all for the cool and contemporary, but there is a slightly different rule book to follow when it comes to a guest bedroom.

Warmth is key and turning to rich, succulent tones on the wall is a simple way to do this. If your budget allows, pair with solid wood furniture which will enhance the homely affect you're attempting.

Tip #2 - Fresh flowers work charmingly

One of the last things that you want guests to feel is that they are sleeping in a room that gathers dust for much of the year. It needs to feel fresh and one of the easiest wins in this regard is to turn to flowers.

Avas Flowers have some fantastic ranges that are advertised on the Avas Flowers Pinterest page. You don't even have to spend a small fortune either, with these Avas Flowers coupons providing some significant savings (at the time of writing).

Tip #3 - Work with layers on the bed

As you've probably already realized, one of the key points to a "successful" guest bedroom is making it as warm and cozy as possible.

This final tip focuses on the bed and taking advantage of layering. Don't just throw a duvet on with a couple of pillows and hope for the best. Instead, turn to different linens, quilts and throws to create a layered effect. It looks utterly inviting and is a soothing touch for those guests that may have reached you following a long journey.
