Breathe new life into your spare bedroom

Matt from

Breathe new life into your spare bedroom

If your #spareroom is more dumping ground than inviting retreat, fear not. Here are some simple styling tricks to freshen up the space and welcome guests in style.

Start with a thorough declutter
The first step is to make the space feel like an actual bedroom. Remove items that don’t belong in your spare room.

Re-house objects you use on a regular or semi-regular basis and find them a new home where they’re used.

Consider putting luggage or #festivedecorations in deep storage such as the garage or attic.

Take this opportunity to air out your spare bedroom and run bedding through the wash.

When it comes to items you no longer need or use, but are still in good condition, look to #repurpose, #rehome or #recycle them.

Pull out the paintbrush
If your spare room is looking a little drab, there’s no faster or easier way to give it a fresh new feel than with a lick of paint.

Add little touches of luxury
A few carefully considered additions to your spare room will make overnight guests feel truly special - soft towels in different sizes at the end of the bed, a posy of pretty flowers by the bedside, a scented candle, a mobile phone charger, and a good book.
