Posted by The Canningvale Team on 15th Dec 2022
When it comes to home decorating, it’s a universal truth that the spare bedroom is almost always at the bottom of the priority list. It’s an easy space to dump the random furniture, old boxes and spare shoes that you can’t find a home for anywhere else.
But one of the joys of home decorating is showing it off to friends and family! So, with the holidays approaching, it’s time to add creating a beautiful and inviting guest oasis to the top of the to-do list.
Here are our top tips for taking your spare room from storage room/dumping ground to luxe AirBnB vibes in no time.

Here are our top tips for turning your spare room into a luxe AirBnB space in no time.
Tip #1: Less is more
Clear out the clutter. Repeat after us: Your guest room is no longer a space for storing gym equipment or random boxes full of cables.
When it comes to guest rooms, minimalism is key, a pared back space creates a welcoming and inviting place that your guests are free to make their own.

Tip #2: Get summer ready

Holiday time in Australia means summer, so bedding that will help keep your guests cool is a must. We recommend our Alessia Bamboo Cotton bedding, it’s luxe, lightweight and super breathable for superb summer snoozes.
Tip #3: Spoil them with silk
If you want your guests to really get their beauty sleep, spoil them with silk. The secret elixir to Sleeping Beauty rising from her 100-year nap without a wrinkle or hair out of place, these beauties are soft, cool and nourishing for the skin.

Tip #4: It’s all in the details

We love pillows and throws, not only for their function but also for adding some style to your space. Textiles are what make a room sing, and you can use them to transition your guest room style through the seasons. Plus, there’s nothing that says comfy and welcoming quite like an inviting pile of cushy cushions!
Another thoughtful touch is a basket with blankets or throws, which instantly makes a room cosier. Just remember to wash them between guests, and consider blankets made from easy-care materials to make your life easier!
Adding a well-chosen coffee table book, fresh flowers, or a fragrant soy candle or diffuser can really lift the mood of any room.
Tip #5: Splash out in style
When styling your guest room, don’t forget to provide luxurious towels.
We recommend our Aria towels, the most deluxe bathing beauties we have on offer. If you’re feeling particularly fancy, roll them up and place them at the end of a perfectly made bed. You can even pop a flower on top to channel 5-star resort vibes.
And if you’re by the beach (or lucky enough to have a pool!), be sure to add a few guest beach towels to the mix too.
