Don’t let it just go spare...

It may be the smallest space in your home but that’s no reason to neglect your spare room
W
hether you have relatives coming to stay this Summer or simply want to ensure your home is ready for guests in the coming months, there’s no better time than the present to ensure your spare bedroom can be used to its full potential. This week, I want to give you some hints and tips as to how you can spruce up the space you have, so that guests can enjoy a home away from home when they come to visit. You’ll be pleased to know that giving a spare room a makeover needn’t be a huge project and it certainly doesn’t have to cost the earth either. In fact, it’s possible to give it a new lease of life with just a few simple updates. When refreshing a space, it’s always best to start with a good old fashioned de-clutter. Because spare rooms tend to not be frequented as often as other areas of the home, they can so easily become a storage area/dumping ground for unused clothes, toys, gym equipment or other paraphernalia, so making an effort to have a clear out of all the items you no longer need and

finding alternative homes for those you do is a great starting point. Once your spare room is clear and uncluttered, consider giving the room a refresh with a lick of paint. While re-decorating might seem like a daunting task at first, it needn’t be time consuming or expensive and it will work wonders at creating a light, airy space that your visitors can enjoy. When trying to decide on the perfect shade of paint for a spare room, it’s always a good idea to opt for a neutral tone on the walls, as this will provide you with a versatile canvas that allows you to introduce different patterns, textures and colours to the space via the use of soft furnishings and accessories. To reassure you, there are plenty of interesting neutral shades to choose from, so don’t for a second think you’re limited to beige and magnolia! Not only is the colour grey bang on trend at the moment, the likes of duck egg blue, sage and even pastel shades are all considered neutrals, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box! If you feel your spare room needs more than just a lick of

paint, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t consider introducing wallpaper as a way of invigorating the room, you just need to be clever in your choices. Remember, not only does the wallpaper you choose need to appeal to a variety of visitors, because the spare room is more often than not the smallest bedroom in a house, it’s important to also ensure the design you choose doesn’t overpower the space. Use wallpaper to add personality and highlight a particular area, but avoid large, bold prints, particularly in a small room and instead, opt for delicate patterns that will add interest in a subtle way. Be inspired by Cole and Son’s Rococo wallpaper which features a subtle metallic motif that’s perfect for a spare bedroom. Not only does the motif reflect light around the room, enhancing the feeling of spaciousness, it will also add interest to the space. It’s important that a spare room welcomes your guests with open arms, so you need to think carefully about the soft furnishings and accessories you introduce, as they will play a big part in creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Soft, comfortable bed linen is a must in any guest bedroom to ensure your visitors have a good night’s sleep, so it might be worth investing in a new duvet set if yours has seen better days.
Add to the mix some plush scatter cushions and a warm throw (for the colder months of the year) as they will further enhance the feeling of comfort in a spare room and will also provide a means of introducing different textures that will help to achieve that all important laid-back vibe. When it comes to the finishing touches, dot several scented candles around the room or add some fresh flowers just before your guests arrive and believe me, by the time you’re finished, your guests will be reluctant to leave!
