How to Get Your Guest Bedroom Ready for Christmas

Start with the star of the show - the bed! A fresh set of bedding or a brand new duvet cover set can completely transform the look and feel of your guest room, making sure your guests feel right at home. For Christmas, think rich, warming colours and seasonal prints that bring instant cheer. Swapping the everyday duvet out for something a little more seasonal instantly transforms the space and is a thoughtful touch to make them feel right at home. 

Embrace the season with our collection of festive bedding. From wintry tones to prints that capture the magic of Christmas, we have something to suit every style. Consider the Braemar brushed cotton set for a traditional tartan feel, Winter Forest for a subtle yet festive motif, Dear Santa for a playful seasonal look, or the Elfie for a fun twist.

Mix and match various sizes, materials, and styles to design a plush, inviting bed that your guests will absolutely love.

For a touch of festive flair, layer velvets, boucle, or subtle seasonal designs. Don't shy away from playful colours and patterns, it is Christmas, after all!

A throw blanket is more than just an accent piece, it’s a simple way to add warmth and a touch of comfort to any room. Draping one over your bed or tossing it over an armchair can instantly make a space feel more relaxed and inviting. It's one of the easiest ways to say, "make yourself at home," perfect for snuggling up with a book or staying warm on a cool night.

When you're choosing a throw, think about soft, cosy textures. Materials like chunky knits, fleece, or faux fur and sherpa are great for creating that warm, comfortable feeling. To make sure it fits with your current style, look for colours that complement your space, like soft neutrals, deep forest greens, or a festive berry red.

How you style your throw can make a big difference. For a clean, hotel-like look, you can fold it neatly. If you prefer a more casual and lived-in feel, just drape it naturally. And if you want to keep your favourite throws looking great for years to come, we have a simple guide on how to care for them.

Curtains play a big part in setting the mood of your space, and they’re an easy way to make your guest room feel extra inviting. Swap lighter summer fabrics for thicker, fully lined curtains and blackout drapes to help keep the warmth in and the winter chill out. A seasonal must-have to make your guests feel snug and warm even on frosty December mornings, in a range of styles from pencil pleat to eyelet headers and a range of colours. Thicker, textured curtains not only keep the heat in, but also add a gorgeous, grounding feel to your guest room. 

Choose rich tones that tie in with your bedding and cushions for a coordinated, elegant look. You can even layer with sheer curtains to let in that soft winter glow during the day, while maintaining a cosy atmosphere in the evenings.

Now for the fun part, the finishing touches! A string of fairy lights, a festive candle, or a mini Christmas tree can transform your guest room into a magical space. Add a tray with hot chocolate sachets, biscuits, and a festive mug to make your guests feel truly spoiled.

With soft bedding, plush cushions, snuggly throws, and warming curtains, you’ll create a sleep sanctuary your guests won’t want to leave.
