As far as guests rooms go, it doesn't seem too bad, although your choice of manchester does make a smallish room look smaller. I would consider changing the sliding doors to the robe to mirrored doors to bounce some light around, to give the impression that the room is bigger and make it feel more luxe.

The bedhead and manchester are quite different colours that don't really work together, with the bedhead being a deep blue grey, and the manchester being more of a black. I would be changing the manchester to match in with some of the warmer tones used in the ensuite.

Best of luck,

I love the bed head but agree with retro that the linen and also the black lamp and tables don’t work with it, Small room, take out the black. Play up to the tones in the bed head keeping the linen base color fresh and light. The carpet is just a base

I agree with the comments about the linen. Plain white linen with a soft cosy throw would be more inviting. Soft white muslin tightly pinched curtains (sheers) also softens a room. then add colour with a small piece of art on the biggest wall and a couple of matching throw cushions. Voila!

Agree with previous comment - nice style white linen, think high thread count hotel style for a lux look. Decorate with a nice throw if you want a feature colour, and then add some funky cushions.

I feel like the side tables could be replaced with something a bit more modern - something wooden and bit chunkier would compliment the masculine style of the bed head better...or if you want to keep them small those wooden tripod bedside stool tables look pretty cool and sometimes come with colour on the bottom of the legs for a fun touch! Then just add some modern bedside lights - or ditch the bedside lights and add a modern floor lamp in the corner.

what should i do next?

I think you’ve made a drastic change, looks great, how about some nice sheer curtains?

Something like arty or decorative on the walls. You could have something above the two lamps if it’s too cramped under the AC.

Window looks a bit bare maybe a sheer curtain from high up under the cornice and extend it past the window width to make it look bigger.

The only other thing I think needs change is lampshade shape , round one would look better since everything in the room is angular.

should i change them to white in color??

Your room is really coming along. I think wooden bedside tables would add warmth to the room and also lamps with coloured shades. Just something to inject cosiness and a bit of colour. The suggestion of sheer curtains sounds lovely too. They can go over the blind. Best of luck.

I would add mirror or picture frame behind the lampshades, would make the glass on them pop. Your bedsides needs to be higher, level to the top of the mattress. Some small decor on the bedsides, maybe white flowers, I love greenery, hydrangeas or rose buds. Rug on the end of the bed in a trellis design or something you fancy but light colour I feel would look nice. Decorative side panel curtains (to save money) installed high, it will also help with the light that filters through the blinds.

All the best with it.

What would you like to find in a guest room.
• A dreamy bed with fresh crisp linen styled and turned down
• A nice throw and lots of sumptuous comfy cushions to lean back on
• A huge quality bath sheet
• Some on-trend drawers lots you can get from Amart or Kmart and style them up with additions from @stylkea on instagram
• A basket of nice things such as hand cream, shower gel, mini bottles of spring water
• A side table with a on-trend lamp & a little sweet note with the Wifi password
• plenty of hangers in the cupboard
• A nice ‘REAL’ plant or some fresh flowers
• A comfy chair & ottoman
• A pile of up to date mags/ newspaper or some books

woud this doona cover suit?

Love it; anything monochromatic with a asymmetrical pattern is great it has a real aspect of glamour about it.

You can play on tones of shiny silver and black add some texture with a beautiful faux fur throw. If your going to add a rug make sure it’s under the section of the bed where guests get out and put their feet down.

update...

what next?

Hi, looks great, as suggested a fur or textured throw would give a luxurious look , you could always change lampshades for a drum style in black, this one from Bunnings , could really change the look, you have done a great job.

I think it looks really nice now.

Me too me me but just a little bit of fur would be scrumptious.

I agree the changes you have made look great. I think a tallish luxe mirror situated behind each lamp would look great and add some extra light and height to the room. If there is room, I like a simple chair in a corner or a small bench at the end of the bed - somewhere to perch your wheelie bag in a guest room.

Further, I like the bed side tables and lamps, the glass/ crystal is great in a small room. If you added a stool or bench you could go with clear crystal. I also think sheers on the window would be nice and adds some privacy even when the blind is open.

I suggest moving the bed closer to the window wall and having slightly bigger and taller bedsides which have a shelf and drawer.
Also think about a Roman blind which extends past the window frames to avoid light seepage.
Certainly the room looks more inviting with the changes you've made. :-).

Its really hard to see with that photo but try folding the throw in half lengthways then literally throwing it across one corner of the bed. I can't work out what the other bit is directly above the throw.

I actually think you need a dark coloured throw like the dark cushion you have up on the pillows.

You've done well.

That is a big improvement! It looks good.

Looks glam now. Well done!

If I was a visitor I'd always want several things in a guest room. First a comfortable bed, but I also love bedside lights that allow me to read in bed, attractive pictures (prints) on the walls that blend colours from your bedding, maybe a bookcase with some books that also has space for me to set out makeup etc. In a friend's place on Jersey our rom also had a basket full of "things" - everything from toothbrushes through washing goodies, nice smelling skin lotion, and anything else you can think of. The bedside tables you have hold virtually nothing, so something with a cupboard or some drawers would be useful. You might also think of painting the wall behind the bed to also pick up colours from bedding/prints.

this room has a ensuite.. which i have a lot of the guest needs in

The only thing that’s changed is bed linen.

Im sorry still looks bland to me. I think lighter colours would make the room more inviting for a guest room.

Looks really inviting and so nice of you to go out of your way for guests!

I think adding colorful art above the headboard would finish the room. The room is looking good.
