3 small steps to creating the cosiest guest bedroom ever

It’s no secret that welcoming people into our homes comes with its bouts of nervousness. Because no matter who our over-night-stayers are, being a guest is about being cared for. We want them to be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy a good night’s kip.

Like most things, preparation is key – and a little bit of Dip & Doze goes a long way. Today, we’re here to help you leave your guests longing for a few more nights in your cosy abode.

quality bedding

When it comes to making your guests feel pampered, quality bedding is an essential ingredient. Nothing sets the tone quite like the perfect bedding. Opt for the cosiest, softest, organic cotton or natural linen sheets to provide your guests with the that 5-star hotel-like sleeping experience.

We’ve found that stripe bedding is always a crowd-pleaser—there’s just something effortlessly relaxing about them. Try mixing striped bedding with plain pillowcases for a lovely touch of balance and instant charm! For a playful yet soothing sleep space, our warm, mellow clay pink bedding is a beautiful choice—soft, inviting, and full of personality. Or if you’re wanting a slightly cooler shade, choose the mood-soothing embrace of our nordic sky bedding. It’s like a breath of fresh air at the end of the day.

If you’re after something lighter and more delicate, look no further than our soft, barely-there dusky pink bedding or balanced sage green bedding. Both are wonderfully calming and offer just the right amount of quiet character.

Alternatively, if you’re drawn to the look of pure white bedding, your guests will be sure to love drifting off in a cloud of comfort, wrapped in the clean, timeless feel of our white bedding set. And if you’d prefer a touch of neutral colour but still want keep things soft and subtle, our dove grey or almond offer a warm, welcoming palette with just the right touch of understated charm.

warm lighting

To truly set a serene tone in the guest bedroom, consider adding blackout curtains, soft ambient bedside lighting, or a dedicated reading lamp. These thoughtful touches create a calming, comfortable environment, giving your guests a space that feels comfortable and homely.

inviting seating

If space allows, consider adding a couch or a comfy corner chair to add to the homely feel. Not only does this offer your guests a calming wind-down retreat, but it’s also a great way to tie the room together.

final touches

And finally, what makes a stay truly memorable? It’s the attention to detail in those final touches. Fresh flowers presented in a beautiful vase, a wastepaper bin, a mirror, spare hangers, a choice of pillows (some firm, some squishy!), a carafe of water, a hairdryer, and a cosy robe.

A delightful breakfast always goes down well, too! Be sure to have the essentials on standby (teas, coffees, milks, sugars, bread, butter, cereals)–they never go amiss! And how to really tantalise their taste buds to make sure you’re not leaving your guests with rumbling tummies? Consider fresh fruits or pastries – whatever it is you know your guests will love! After all, it’s these thoughtful gestures that make time spent with loved ones that little bit more special.
