hether your property’s decor is

country chic, simply coastal, or

romantic and vintage, there’s always a way to make small updates that will make a big impact on your guest’s stay.

All Eyes on the Bed

Nothing could freshen up and transform your guest bedroom more than a new duvet cover or quilt — remember, the bed is the focal point of the room! For the warmer months, consider a tastefully-patterned quilt with matching pillowcases and a fuzzy, cozy blanket nearby for those post-brunch afternoon naps. For the cooler months, shake up the usual style with a fresh new duvet cover! This is a low-risk, low-cost, and surprisingly easy option for updated your guest room bedding. No matter your taste, there are so many beautiful options to choose from, from contemporary in-style colors to French florals to a simple geometric pattern. Keep in mind that a particularly eye-catching duvet pattern is ideal for your smaller rooms.

Don’t forget about the sheets! If you’re looking to spoil your guests with a memorably soothing sleep, be sure to find a sheet set with a thread count above 300 (meaning 300 threads per square inch). Confused about the variety

Believe it or not, autumn is just around the corner! A gradual change in the weather outdoors may be just the push we need to make those small but eye-catching stylistic changes indoors. From fresh new duvets to rearranging the room, find out how to update the look and feel of your guest bedrooms in a low cost, low time, and majorly impactful way! By Sarah Mahnke
