Guest Bedrooms...

While Guest Bedrooms are a great place to sneak a style that maybe one of the descision makers would rather not see on a day to day basis there are a few considerations that those of us who end up being guests would like you to remember.

First, we may likely be on a different time and blackout lining on your curtains would will help us sleep.  Treatments should be placed far enough outside the frame and with large enough overlaps to stop light leaks.  4 inches should be used as a good start.

Second, many decorative fabrics (especially with metallic or less expensive polyester) tend to be rough and scratchy.  The reverse of the Duvet cover should not be done in it.  You can save money too by using a nice sateen lining.  Even if you expect the guest to sleep under the sheets the Duvet may still rub against chins.

Third, decorative pillows (especially multiple layers of them) need to have a place that they can be removed to.  I would suggest a chest at the foot of the bed.  This will also allow additional bedding to be stored in it in case the guest requires it.
