5 Trend-Led Ways To Makeover Your Guest Room

Wallpaper is a fast and fantastic way to inject some personality into a room transforming your walls.

• Make a statement with a bold wallpaper: Colourful palettes and abstract wallpaper; neutral pigments with raw textured wallpaper; retro glamour with rich and tonal geometric wallpaper; and soft tropics with bold botanical wallpaper.
• Wallpaper doesn’t just have to be for walls either. Try reviving a bedside table by lining the drawers, covering a shade, framing offcut pieces or adding kitsch appeal to furniture with decoupage.

Bold and modern wall murals are a great way to add some artistic flair to your spaces, bringing your room to life with a simple application.

• Murals are making a big impact with a resurgence of chintzy, textured and geometric mural designs.
• Cover an entire wall, frame a headboard, theme and room or make a feature of a cosy corner.

The latest colour trends bring harmony to our homes with a palette inspired by nature.

• Expect soft romantic pastels, porcelain blues and earthy ochres dominating colour palettes everywhere.
• A fun way to add a burst of colour to an otherwise tired or unloved room, transform the walls with interior paints, revive old furniture or make a statement with a bold ceiling or painted floor.
• Watch our bedside table revival project for a range of renovation ideas and techniques.

Soft and directional lighting not only creates a warm welcome but can completely change the feel and mood of a room. Lighting trends see chandeliers and geometric fixtures make a resurgence, while minimal pendant lights and filament light bulbs dominate loft-style simplicity.

• For ambient and stylish lighting, make a statement with an overhead ceiling light or colourful pendant.
• To create the perfect atmosphere for reading and relaxing, oversized table or floor lamps are ideal.

An upholstered headboard, plump pillows, duvet, throws and cushions, all make for a luxurious setting. With colour palette extending through the walls to furnishings and textiles, take inspiration from the natural scheme and make the bed a focal point of your guest experience.

• Try theming your soft furnishings with botanical and geometric prints.
• Introduce linen in blues, greens and earthy tones, complemented with soft pastels and natural textures.
• Or upholster a headboard in a rich textured fabric for sumptuous hotel chic.
