Every luxury home needs perfectly designed luxurious guest bedrooms to go with it that are designed to be serene retreats for guests to just get away from everything and relax. Creating the perfect guest bedroom requires you to bring together a few key elements so here is a list of tips that are sure to help you create the perfect guest bedrooms for your home. 1.) Choose The Right Bed: Everyone wants a spacious bed in their guest bedrooms but it is very important that the bed is in proportion to the room. A large bed is nice but if it is too big for the room it will feel cramped and it may be inconvenient to move around in. 2.) Choose Furniture That Compliments Your Bed: The same thing goes for the rest of the furniture in the room. So if the room is smaller consider only going with a bed, one or two night stands, a wardrobe, and maybe even a bench. Plus the rest of your furniture should compliment the bed in design and color. 3.) Add A Featherbed Padding: Adding a featherbed topper to the bed not only affords your guests with comfort and relaxation but it also helps to create a plush and luxurious look for the room as well. 4.) Layer Your Pillows: Using two layers of pillows on the bed is a great way to add some luxury appeal to your guest room. Use one layer of bed pillows for sleeping topped with a second layer of throw pillows that match the bedding and the walls for a coordinated look. 5.) Add Some Style With A Decorative Headboard: The bed is going to be the focal point for the room. A great way to really make it stand out and bring some real luxury style into the room is by incorporating a decorative headboard made from stunning dark hardwood or lavish upholstered fabric. 6.) Consider Layered Window Treatments: Give the room an...

Your living room is a space where you and your guests will often spend a lot of time and is where you can really add some appeal to your home with a friendly and inviting atmosphere. However, this area can often be a difficult one to decorate so we have put together a list of great tips that are sure to help you create the perfect living area. 1.) Be Sure To Anchor The Room: Large areas like living rooms can often end up with a very cluttered feeling when too many small pieces are crowded into it without an anchoring piece or two. Try and anchor your living room with a large piece of furniture like a sectional, large sofa, large coffee table, or maybe even built in bookcases or a piano for some style. 2.) Try To Designate Zones: With a smaller living room you will generally only have one conversation and sitting area but larger living areas can act as much more than a simple sitting area. You may need to think creatively depending on the size or shape of your room. Try to designate zones by identifying the best functional areas of the room for things like conversation, media, and maybe even a small eating nook or gaming table. 3.) Utilize Color And Pattern Correctly: Color and pattern is a great way to break up larger areas and cut down tall walls to make your living room more cozy and comfortable. If you have a really tall ceiling try painting a shade or several shades darker than your walls to help snug up the area. Be sure to repeat colors and patterns throughout the room from zone to zone with things like fabrics, furniture, throw pillows, accessories, and even window and wall treatments to tie the entire living room together. 4.) Don’t Hug The Wall Too Much: One of the biggest mistakes that homeowners make that end up leaving them with a funny poorly designed...
