Guests rooms are a wonderful way to welcome people into your home, especially as we're coming into hosting season. Whether yours is currently storage space and in need of a declutter or a bedroom that just needs some finishing touches, we've got the collection for you.

Rowen & Wren, British designers, have launched a beautiful holiday collection that will help you to get your guest bedroom ready for Christmas. With little touches and details, you can make the room feel like a boutique hotel.

We've curated a guide to your guest bedroom from beautifully made foundations, through to adding softness and scent, so that your guests will sleep soundly and never want to leave.

The Furniture and Foundations

Good hosting starts with good bones. Rowen & Wren’s solid, carved pieces bring a lived-in, heirloom feel that makes a guest room feel established rather than an afterthought. The Harpley bedside table is a good example, with its carved solid oak frame and dovetail joints. They're simple updates that elevate your room's look and feel.

Beautiful bedding

Once the bones are in place, it’s the layers that make a guest room feel loved and look expensive. Think of bedding the way you would a well-set table: a mix of textures that look collected over time, bringing countryside charm into your home. Crisp linen bedding, a woollen blanket and a patchwork quilt will give you that, and each one gets better with age.

Finish with fragrance

The best guest rooms smell wonderful before anyone can say why. You can scent-scape the room by layering your fragrance in three places: tucked in the wardrobe with Diptyque's Oval, on show on a surface with scented ceramic, and glowing by the bed as a classic candle.

Make mornings just as special

Most hosts forget about the morning, but you won't. A little set of toiletries, fresh towels, and a cosy housecoat will make them feel like they're more fresh and comfortable than they could have possibly dreamed of.

Little extra luxuries

I can't resist adding in some extra special pieces too. From fresh linen pyjamas and a hot water bottle through to an eye mask. It's the little things that make all the difference.

These don't just have to be little luxuries for your guests either. Why not treat yourself and give your bedroom a refresh. Or, take a look at the rest of Rowen & Wren's seasonal collection for festive inspiration too.
