As the festive season approaches, now is the perfect time to update your guest bedroom and create a beautiful, inviting setting where your guests can feel at home. Explore inspiring ideas to achieve an elegant guest bedroom scheme, whether you use warm and cosy hues or incorporate a calming wallpaper…

Combine warm hues for a cocooning sanctuary

Rich, warm and inviting hues work wonderfully in restful spaces like bedrooms to create a soothing living environment. Utilise earthy pinks, soft honeys and deeper caramels and browns to fill your guest bedroom with a feeling of cosiness on darker evenings. Complete your scheme with layered soft fabrics, furnishings and natural materials that will bring warmth and comfort.

Arch: Bassoon, Panelling: Nether Red, Table: Jack Black, Floor: Bassoon

Walls: Nether Red, Drawers & Door: French Grey – Dark

Walls: Spilt Pink, Skirting & Architrave: Attic II, Ceiling : Roman Plaster

Our ‘Sweet Treats’ capsule collection comprises nine versatile warm neutrals that are perfect for use in colour drenching schemes. You can embrace any of these shades on all walls and woodwork in your guest bedroom to create a cosy and enveloping space.

Split Pink is an elegant warm stone colour that provides a beautiful warm backdrop for your guest bedroom. For a cohesive and contemporary feel, pair with complementary shades, Attic II and Roman Plaster, on the woodwork and ceiling.

Introduce a textural element with a calming wallpaper

Your guest bedroom offers the perfect opportunity to incorporate a beautiful wallpaper. Choose a design that expresses your personal style and evokes an atmosphere of calm and tranquillity.

Leafy, botanical wallpapers also work well in guest bedroom schemes as they reflect the calming qualities of nature. You can use an all-over print such as Beech Nut – Rubine on one wall to offer a textural element. Or embrace the immersive Fern – Off Black design on every wall and add a pop of colour with Middle Buff on the bed.

Create a luxurious guest bathroom with dark, sumptuous colours

Consider updating your en-suite or guest bathroom to provide a luxurious setting where your guests can relax and unwind. As the guest bathroom is space that is not often used, you can afford to select a bolder or darker colour that will create real impact.

Walls: Chocolate Colour, Bath: Rolling Fog - Dark

Deep and sumptuous colours bring a touch of opulence as well as having a soothing quality, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms. The rich brown, Chocolate Colour, exudes warmth and peacefulness when used all over and paired with natural wood finishes.

Team your wall colour with coordinating tiles to create an encompassing guest bathroom scheme. Royal Navy, Livid and Purple Brown are among eight Little Greene shades that have been effortlessly translated into tiles from Bert & May. This collaboration allows you to create sophisticated bathroom schemes that celebrate colour.
