A Guide to Creating the Perfect Guest Room

Perhaps you’re redecorating your home and haven’t started focusing on your guest room yet, or maybe your children have recently moved out for college, so you now have an extra bedroom that needs some TLC. Whatever the reason, you want your guest room to make visitors feel at home.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades near Mount Pleasant, South Carolina (SC)

At Advanced Window Fashions, we proudly carry Hunter Douglas window treatments to dress your guest bedroom windows in style. Read on to learn some style tips for creating the perfect space for visitors or loved ones to spend time in a homey setting away from home.

Light Control Is Essential

Whether your loved ones are night owls or early birds, everyone wants a dark room to sleep in during the night. Wood blinds offer outstanding privacy and light control and look great in various décor styles.

Shades, like Duette® Cellular Shades equipped with the Duolite® feature, are another good option. Duette® with Duolite® offers a telescoping opaque layer inside a sheer panel, giving you more control over light at any time of the day.

Layers of Style

Layering window treatments in your guest room is an easy way to ensure your visitors will enjoy as much light control and privacy as they’d like. If you want to use drapery in your layered look, choose a base window treatment that’s versatile when it comes to room-darkening, like shutters or blinds.

Drapes are fantastic for darkness and privacy, but they need some backup if you want to spend time in the bedroom during the day and still enjoy your privacy.

Splurge on Bedding

We can create custom bedding solutions with any of our fabrics for a fine finishing touch so that you can create a custom bedroom suite that any high-end hotel would be envious of. Your guests will appreciate hitting the hay on a bed that feels soft and luxurious. Splurge on a premium mattress cover and high thread count sheets. Make sure you have a nubby throw blanket or two available in case your family member or friend catches a chill in the evening, and don’t forget some extra-fluffy pillows. Accent pillows are optional but always encouraged.

It’s The Little Things

Make your overnight visitors feel genuinely welcome by filling a basket with bottled water, snacks, and the Wi-Fi password and placing it on the dresser or nightstand. Most travelers pack their own toiletries, but it’s a good gesture to have extras on hand, especially toothbrushes, in case something is forgotten. If your guests will be staying for more than a couple of days, consider lending them a spare key to your home so they can come and go as they please.
