Generally, the basement of any home is a no man’s land that is filled with boxes and other forgotten property. You can revitalize this forgotten room with a little money and a lot of hard work. By remodeling this room, you can have a man cave or even a bathroom featuring a mirror with lights.  The following are a few ideas on how to perk up this room and add a bit more style to your bedroom.

Family or Rec Room

Using your basement for a room for your family to play games and other activities is a great way to bring you all closer together. You can decorate the room with fun designs and make it feel more inviting unlike most basements. You can spend a few dollars on new furnishings to accommodate a large group of people for game nights or to watch the big game. Surround sound systems and lighting are also some other accessories to add to the overall appeal of this rec room.

Spare Bedroom and Bath

By making your basement into a bedroom/bathroom can help you to accommodate multiple houseguests. In determining the best layout for the room, you should consider who will be sleeping there the most and then go from there. You can have a double bed in the room, which will conserve space for more furniture or other decor. Many building codes require a bedroom to have an exit, so this is definitely something you should factor into your overall design.  

Kitchen or Wash Room

If you install a min kitchen in your basement, you will find it much easier to entertain any number of people. You can add the kitchen to your bedroom design to create a guest lounge. You will need to prepare for hot and cold water hook ups if you are installing the kitchen, as well as electrical outlets. You may also want to think about installing a small dishwasher to reduce the amount of labor your guest has to perform while staying with you.  

By choosing the right professionals to help with this type of work, you will be able to get the results you are after. Putting a bathroom in your basement is a great way to enhance the comfort that your home has. Without the right guidance on a project like this, you will find it very hard to get the right results. The money paid to a professional for this type of work will be worth it and can allow a homeowner to avoid the hard work involved in this process.

My sweet man is always running and in a hurry to get out the door. He doesn’t like to waste time. So I thought a fog free shower mirror would be great for him in the shower. I got him The ShaveWell Company’s Fog Free Shower Mirror. 

14566646_1889927051239339_8986231456330153984_n

It comes with an alcohol wipe to clean the surface of the shower and then a hook to stick on the wall. It has adhesive on the back and then the mirror. No drilling or installation really. The instructions say to wipe the surface of the wall with the alcohol wipe. Then wait two hours for it to dry. Next peel off the sticker on the back of the hook and adhere the hook to your wall or tile. After that you just hang the mirror.

To keep it fog free you run it under the shower water for a few seconds to make it acclimate to the room. No fog because it will be the same temperature as the shower water. If you should get a smudge on it. a drop of toothpaste will clean it right off. 

The results, My sweety liked it for shaving. he felt like he saved a few minutes by shaving in the shower. I liked the easy application and it isn’t big or bulky and in the way.

 

 

The best part of the Shave Well story
Your Shave Well mirror was assembled at Sunshine Industries, a vocational training facility in Knoxville, Tennessee for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A smile is worth a thousand words when you see participants learn, grow and obtain new levels of confidence and personal satisfaction for a paid job well done.

Correct me, if I’m wrong, but I know most of us do not have a personal makeup artist. I know that I don’t. Generally, we do all that we can, to put ourselves together every day using a mirror. For some of us, enhancing our looks and blurring imperfections, is a daily ritual. Having a magnified lighted makeup mirror is a great help in achieving our ideal image put out to the world.

If your beauty guru like I am and love trying new facial products, what better time to purchase yourself a nice gift set! Nerium International introduced two limited-edition holiday gift sets this year. They featured a 24-hour skin care gift set as well as a total anti-aging gift set! You can have flawless skin all over by using these products. I am getting married in May 2016, and I’m already starting a beauty regimen so that I can feel confident on the day of my wedding. All of Nerium products include NAE-8, which is a very powerful antioxidant. These products are not only anti-aging they also reduce the signs of aging, blotching skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and discoloration! My gift set included the age defying day cream, the age defying night cream, and the firming body contour cream. I love knowing that each time I use these products, I’m not only creating a flawless look for my face but for my body as well.
The firming contour body cream has key benefits such as reducing the appearance of cellulite and dimpling. I know that I will not only want to look good on my wedding day, but I will want to look good in a bathing suit on my honeymoon. Sometimes no matter how hard you try you just can’t work off cellulite and dimples! I have been paying attention to my backside in the mirror after I shower and I can already tell a difference in my skin. It looks tighter, and I have noticed that there are fewer dimples then there were before.

Nerium

The Nerium day cream and night cream what wonderful and you can almost see immediate results soon after. I love that there’s a specific Cream to use in the morning, and a specific cream to use at night. This gets me in a routine and makes it easy to remember to use the products. The creams are very light and fluffy and quickly absorbed. I have always given, and these seem actual to help with my shiny T-zones!

Save Time In The Mornings With A Shower Mirror!

If I would’ve known how much time  a fog less shower mirror saved me in the morning time I would’ve had this years ago! Toilettree products fog less shower mirror is an amazing product that actually works. It was super easy to install and includes water resistant double-sided tape, so you don’t have to worry about drilling any holes or messing up your shower walls. I would recommend standing in the shower when you install it, because once you place the mirror on the brackets it is a little higher than the bracket placement.

Shower mirror
I decided to put this mayor to the test on a busy week day morning, when both my fiance and I are trying to get ready at the same time. Normally he shaved his face before he gets in the shower, which is around the same time that I’m trying to put on the make up, and believe me we get in each other’s way! He was able to get in the shower to shave which gave me the time I needed, and the space I needed! It’s actually beneficial to shave in the shower because The warm water and steam reduces your hair Street by 80% making it easier to shave without irritating the skin! I always hate when I get out of the shower and I still have make up smeared around my eyes. This mayor has allowed me to see my face before I get out of the shower and remove all make up! I also enjoy tweezing my eyebrows in the shower now, because it allows me to get very close up and all of the hairs that I pluck are rinsed away!

shower mirror
Before you use the mirror it is very important to fill the reservoir with warm or hot water, this is what keeps it from fogging up in the shower. You will need to do this each time to keep it from fogging up. I do wish there was a way to not have to replace the water every time but that is the only way because it has to be warm. There’s a nice squeegee that is included so that you can remove any extra droplets that are on the surface. It also has a small shelf on it so you can store your razor, tweezers, or the squeegee. This product not only makes a great gift for any adult on your list, it also makes a great gift to yourself, and can be purchased at Amazon.com!

How To Set Up Your Guest Room On A Budget

0
0

It’s great to have guests to stay over. They might be relatives, kids who have since moved out or friends travelling from far away. Like any room of the house, you want to make it homely and inviting so your guests will feel comfortable and welcome. Setting up a guestroom however, can take up plenty of time and resources for a room that isn’t used often. So here are some tips for setting up your guest room on a budget.

How To Set Up Your Guest Room On A Budget

Pick an affordable, comfortable bed

A comfortable bed need not be expensive. Indeed, there are some great deals available on single, double, queen- and king-size beds on the market. Select the beds according to the guests you’re likely to host, whether couples or singles. You could get one larger bed or two single beds that could be pushed together, depending on what suits your budget and the room.

If you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality mattress but do not have the time to go physically shopping for one, it’s worth considering online channels to find what you need. Companies such as Sleepy’s Express have a wide range of quality mattresses that can be ordered online, made and delivered directly to your home.

Tasteful and simple décor

One rule of thumb when decorating a guest room is to keep it tasteful and simple. Keeping colours fairly neutral ensures the room will suit the aesthetics of most guests, so neither women or men will feel uncomfortable in a room that is a touch too feminine or masculine. Moreover, neutral colours aren’t affected much by changing trends, meaning the décor you choose can last longer without going out of style. Plenty of department stores and home-maker centres have a wide range of curtains, bedspreads, and floor coverings at reasonable prices that can make your guest room look great.

Furniture and fittings

Aside from a bed, a guest room will need a few key pieces of furniture and fittings to be practical and welcoming. If your guest room lacks built-in wardrobes, perhaps a free-standing wardrobe or hanging rack could fulfil this need. Don’t forget a chest of drawers for guests to neatly stow away their clothes and other belongings. Any why not perch a large mirror atop the drawers? A simple, tasteful mirror is not only handy for personal grooming, but can also make a small guestroom feel larger and brighter.

Alongside the bed or beds you’ll need a bedside table or two. Furniture stores will often sell affordable sets comprising of chests and bedside tables. These small tables are perfect for holding a couple of books, glasses, a reading lamp and dentures. The room is almost complete. All you need now is a reading lamp or two from the lighting section at your local home-maker centre, and perhaps a matching lampshade if the main room light is of the hanging variety. And voila! You have a complete guestroom.

 

These are just a few hints for setting up a guest room on a budget. Why not leave your suggestions and experiences below?

The saying goes that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Although I agree with it, men have also grown to love diamonds too. We have seen the evolution of diamonds from centuries ago.

The popularity of different cuts, shapes and sizes have changed rapidly over the years. Just like fashion trends and changing trends in the jewelry sector, the cut of a diamond affects the sale and quality of it. In order to better understand this dynamic, let us delve into the world of diamonds.

Types of Diamond cuts, shapes and sizes

  1. The round cut diamond

This is the most popular diamond shape. It represents nearly seventy five percent of all diamonds sold in the past decade. The shape of this diamond makes it popular because it is superior and fancier due to its ability to properly reflect light and having maximum brightness.

  1. The oval diamond

The oval cut diamond is more of a preferred taste. The mark of a professional cut oval diamond is the symmetry of the cut, which is that the two sides of the diamond must be almost identical if not exactly identical.

  1. The Pear shaped diamond

If professionally cut, a pear shaped diamond should possess almost perfect or near perfect symmetry. The starting point should line up with the apex of the rounded end. The upper and lower curves on the right and left side of the diamond should form uniform, symmetrical curves. The pear shape can be said to be a combination of a round and marquise shape of a diamond.

  1. The marquise cut diamond

This diamond can be said to have a football shape. It is modified and brilliantly cut. It is a more popular cut of diamond among today’s generation. It is long and narrow which usually creates the illusion of a larger size. This shape is also popular with individuals who like flashy jewelry because it is said to have one of the largest surface areas of the shapes. If you are trying to maximize on size, this is the perfect cut for you.

  1. The emerald cut diamond

The emerald cut diamond is the most unique of the bunch, it is unique in shape and look. They produce a sort of mirror effect due to its large open table shape and the steps cut of its pavilion. It has an interplay of dark and light planes. When one adorns an emerald cut diamond as a preferred diamond pendant design, it will reflect the color of your skin tone.

  1. The cushion cut diamond

The cushion cut diamond derives its name from the shape it resembles, it combines a square cut with rounded corners resembling a pillow shape. This shape of diamond was the most popular in past centuries. Its popularity was replaced by the round cut diamond in today’s society. This cut of diamond is preferred by people who want a more classic shape to their jewelry.   

Whatever your preference is in the type of diamond you like, it is important to look at several cuts and designs before you settle for the one you wish to purchase. The above are just a few of the more popular cuts available in the market today.

What Does It Really Take To Achieve Health And Fitness?

0

Most of us know we want to look our best. And some of us know that being fit and healthy can go a long way to achieving that. But the one thing that eludes some of us is knowing what it really takes to be as fit and healthy as we can be. After all, we’re all busy people, and not all of us enjoy lots of physical activity anyway.

 

To become fitter and healthier will always take change. We need to improve our diets, or we need to become more active. If you’re not feeling as fit and healthy as you should, then it’s going to take a change in our lifestyles to make a difference. But what can you do if it’s a struggle to fit in more exercise? By the way, exercising during pregnancy is very good idea to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

 

Before you commit to boot camps and gym subscriptions, it’s worth doing a little homework. Check out websites on the internet like the moral experiment site that has articles on health and fitness. You’ll find a wealth of information out there on lots of techniques to achieve what you want. It’s worth reading up on things like slimming pills, special diets and weight loss surgery, so you get the full picture of what your options are.

What Does It Really Take To Achieve Health And Fitness?

What is it that’s stopping you from being more healthy? If it’s your weight, then you know you need to work to get it back into the normal range. If it’s your career, then it could be time to renegotiate your job description. Your health is so important. And it affects your entire family too. If you can do something to improve it, then it is worth the effort.

 

Being physically fit gives us the stamina to cope with the demands of everyday life. It helps us keep up with the kids. Best of all, it can provide us with pleasure when we get to join in with all those physical activities. Fitness is about strength as much as stamina. Start with your core. A strong core can help improve your posture and your balance. You can feel more energized, and you can better support your body in a fuller range of activities.

 

A core workout needn’t be challenging. Checking your posture in the mirror and correcting it for thirty seconds each day can go a long way. Balance or vibration boards are another way to improve your core. Engaging the core muscles in everything you do will quickly make it strong. This can help burn more fat, and it can help tone the tummy.

 

There are hundreds of great recipes out there for healthy meals, and not-so-healthy dishes. However, portion control can go a long way to helping us eat more healthily. Avoiding overeating can help our digestive systems. Best of all, it will prevent unnecessary weight gain. It may even help you shed a few pounds.

 

Good health comes from good food and good levels of activity. Fitness comes from regular movement and activity. None of it happens overnight. But a little attention for a few minutes each day could make a huge difference for you. Are you ready for change?

Always Look Your Best With My Beauty Tips And Tricks

It’s Friday and for many of us that means one thing. In just a few hours we’ll be getting ready to go out on the town and make the most of our night off. If you’ve got that plan in mind and you’re already working out how much you can afford to spend on drinks, you need to make sure you’re looking your best. That’s where this article is going to help you out a lot. On here I’m going to be looking at every way you can make yourself look beautiful and stunning. That might be using natural beauty remedies or other ideas that are going to be a little more expensive. But let’s start by thinking about ways of defining your natural beauty that aren’t going to cost you anything.

 

Make Your Hair Shine And Look Thick

Always Look Your Best With My Beauty Tips And Tricks

I know a lot of girls worry about their hair. Is it too thin and is it glowing, like Rapunzel from Tangled. It’s hard not to feel self-conscious about your hair when every five minutes we see a new ad on TV with models that have halos of hair that shine. But the thing to remember is that they have the benefit of lighting and a professional designer. You’ve got the internet and a mirror in your bathroom. Not to worry though because I’ve got a great trick to make your hair shine. You just need to soak it in water with a few tea bags. If you do this for ten minutes or so then take the hair out and rinse it thoroughly you should see a noticeable difference. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not going to glow like a cartoon. But it will have a golden shine. If you do this quite often you’ll see increased results over time.

Another issue girls worry about is thin hair. Again, don’t forget that your hair looks thinner than it is in bright light. But if you want to give your hair a little more body you should try coconut oil or bamboo oil. These can be bought in shampoos made of natural ingredients. They are chemically proven to bring the life back into your hair and make it look fuller. If you are self-conscious about this, it’s something that you could try. You can try   Ultra con   if you’re looking for great, natural shampoo.

Whiter Teeth

 

Always Look Your Best With My Beauty Tips And Tricks

If you want whiter teeth, you can try a teeth whitening treatment. These can be bought online at reasonable prices. But if you want to try a different type of treatment you could use natural ingredients that work wonders. Mixing baking soda and lemon choose into a paste whitens the teeth naturally. Be careful how long you leave the paste on as you don’t want the juice to damage your teeth. Two to five minutes should do the trick before you need to wash it off thoroughly. This won’t have an immediate effect but if you do this once a week for a few months you’ll see a change. Though do bear in mind that this does not make your teeth or mouth healthier. It only alters the look of your teeth. It should not be considered a substitute for the dentist.

Baking soda can be used for a whole host of reasons that you’ve never heard of. For instance, it can be used as a natural beauty treatment for your skin. You can discover info from www.TheAlternativeDaily.com/9-uses-baking-soda-may-surprise/.  It’s worth checking out if you’re interested in natural beauty techniques and other home uses.

Remember, if you want whiter teeth, the best advice anyone can offer is to watch what you eat. Certain substances naturally die the teeth including anything that includes caffeine. That includes most fizzy drinks and of course coffee and tea. You can get away with drink these substances if you make sure that you use a straw. This will protect your teeth to an extent, at least the front of them.

Spa Treatment

Instead of going out on the town this weekend, you could instead head to a spa. If you go to a spa, it’s not just about working away the stress built up in your body. It will benefit your mind as well. This is important as the way you feel is connected to how you look. If you feel stress or filled with tension, that’s going to have a negative impact on your body. People who feel stressed often look tired, as though the life has been removed from their complexion. If you look in the mirror after a long week and start to notice this effect, head to a spa. I promise after a few massages and beauty treatments you’ll start to feel a lot better. Check out booking. com  to book a spa treatment right now.

If it’s available I recommend you definitely try to get a few hours in the sauna. If you’re looking to lose weight, this is one of the easiest ways to do it. Sweating the weight off doesn’t take much effort and is quite relaxing. But that’s not the only reason you should have a sit in a sauna every so often. The steam from a sauna will cleanse and clean your skin. If you have a problem with dry skin or bad acne, this is the answer that you need. By the time your treatment is finished, you’ll see your skin looks a lot clearer.

Benefits Of Exercise

Finally, if you’re dying to look your best you do need to work on your body. You need to do everything you can to make sure that you look fantastic. Part of that is initiating a regular exercise routine into your lifestyle. You might not be aware, but exercise will do wonders for your beauty. I’m not just talking about your body image either. Exercise has been shown to keep the body young. So, if you’re worried about those wrinkles starting to show, it’s time to get on the treadmill. I suggest exercise once a day for ten or twenty minutes. This is all you need to look your best, as long as your diet is controlled.

Generally, the basement of any home is a no man’s land that is filled with boxes and other forgotten property. You can revitalize this forgotten room with a little money and a lot of hard work. By remodeling this room, you can have a man cave or even a bathroom featuring a mirror with lights.  The following are a few ideas on how to perk up this room and add a bit more style to your bedroom.

Family or Rec Room

Using your basement for a room for your family to play games and other activities is a great way to bring you all closer together. You can decorate the room with fun designs and make it feel more inviting unlike most basements. You can spend a few dollars on new furnishings to accommodate a large group of people for game nights or to watch the big game. Surround sound systems and lighting are also some other accessories to add to the overall appeal of this rec room.

Spare Bedroom and Bath

By making your basement into a bedroom/bathroom can help you to accommodate multiple houseguests. In determining the best layout for the room, you should consider who will be sleeping there the most and then go from there. You can have a double bed in the room, which will conserve space for more furniture or other decor. Many building codes require a bedroom to have an exit, so this is definitely something you should factor into your overall design.  

Kitchen or Wash Room

If you install a min kitchen in your basement, you will find it much easier to entertain any number of people. You can add the kitchen to your bedroom design to create a guest lounge. You will need to prepare for hot and cold water hook ups if you are installing the kitchen, as well as electrical outlets. You may also want to think about installing a small dishwasher to reduce the amount of labor your guest has to perform while staying with you.  

By choosing the right professionals to help with this type of work, you will be able to get the results you are after. Putting a bathroom in your basement is a great way to enhance the comfort that your home has. Without the right guidance on a project like this, you will find it very hard to get the right results. The money paid to a professional for this type of work will be worth it and can allow a homeowner to avoid the hard work involved in this process.

My sweet man is always running and in a hurry to get out the door. He doesn’t like to waste time. So I thought a fog free shower mirror would be great for him in the shower. I got him The ShaveWell Company’s Fog Free Shower Mirror.

It comes with an alcohol wipe to clean the surface of the shower and then a hook to stick on the wall. It has adhesive on the back and then the mirror. No drilling or installation really. The instructions say to wipe the surface of the wall with the alcohol wipe. Then wait two hours for it to dry. Next peel off the sticker on the back of the hook and adhere the hook to your wall or tile. After that you just hang the mirror.

To keep it fog free you run it under the shower water for a few seconds to make it acclimate to the room. No fog because it will be the same temperature as the shower water. If you should get a smudge on it. a drop of toothpaste will clean it right off. 

The results, My sweety liked it for shaving. he felt like he saved a few minutes by shaving in the shower. I liked the easy application and it isn’t big or bulky and in the way.

 

 

The best part of the Shave Well story
Your Shave Well mirror was assembled at Sunshine Industries, a vocational training facility in Knoxville, Tennessee for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A smile is worth a thousand words when you see participants learn, grow and obtain new levels of confidence and personal satisfaction for a paid job well done. So while you enjoy that crystal clear reflection from your Shave Well mirror, give yourself a smile as you are helping make it possible for individuals with disabilities to work in a safe, encouraging and fulfilling environment.

If your beauty guru like I am and love trying new facial products, what better time to purchase yourself a nice gift set! Nerium International introduced two limited-edition holiday gift sets this year. They featured a 24-hour skin care gift set as well as a total anti-aging gift set! You can have flawless skin all over by using these products. I am getting married in May 2016, and I’m already starting a beauty regimen so that I can feel confident on the day of my wedding. All of Nerium products include NAE-8, which is a very powerful antioxidant. These products are not only anti-aging they also reduce the signs of aging, blotching skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and discoloration! My gift set included the age defying day cream, the age defying night cream, and the firming body contour cream. I love knowing that each time I use these products, I’m not only creating a flawless look for my face but for my body as well.
The firming contour body cream has key benefits such as reducing the appearance of cellulite and dimpling. I know that I will not only want to look good on my wedding day, but I will want to look good in a bathing suit on my honeymoon. Sometimes no matter how hard you try you just can’t work off cellulite and dimples! I have been paying attention to my backside in the mirror after I shower and I can already tell a difference in my skin. It looks tighter, and I have noticed that there are fewer dimples then there were before.

The Nerium day cream and night cream what wonderful and you can almost see immediate results soon after. I love that there’s a specific Cream to use in the morning, and a specific cream to use at night. This gets me in a routine and makes it easy to remember to use the products. The creams are very light and fluffy and quickly absorbed. I have always given, and these seem actual to help with my shiny T-zones!

Whether you’re in the market to purchase a nice gift set for yourself or someone else, these would make a great gift. They come in a beautiful package that would make it easy for wrapping as well!

Save Time In The Mornings With A Shower Mirror!

If I would’ve known how much time  a fog less shower mirror saved me in the morning time I would’ve had this years ago! Toilettree products fog less shower mirror is an amazing product that actually works. It was super easy to install and includes water resistant double-sided tape, so you don’t have to worry about drilling any holes or messing up your shower walls. I would recommend standing in the shower when you install it, because once you place the mirror on the brackets it is a little higher than the bracket placement.

Shower mirror
I decided to put this mayor to the test on a busy week day morning, when both my fiance and I are trying to get ready at the same time. Normally he shaved his face before he gets in the shower, which is around the same time that I’m trying to put on the make up, and believe me we get in each other’s way! He was able to get in the shower to shave which gave me the time I needed, and the space I needed! It’s actually beneficial to shave in the shower because The warm water and steam reduces your hair Street by 80% making it easier to shave without irritating the skin! I always hate when I get out of the shower and I still have make up smeared around my eyes. This mayor has allowed me to see my face before I get out of the shower and remove all make up! I also enjoy tweezing my eyebrows in the shower now, because it allows me to get very close up and all of the hairs that I pluck are rinsed away!

shower mirror
Before you use the mirror it is very important to fill the reservoir with warm or hot water, this is what keeps it from fogging up in the shower. You will need to do this each time to keep it from fogging up. I do wish there was a way to not have to replace the water every time but that is the only way because it has to be warm. There’s a nice squeegee that is included so that you can remove any extra droplets that are on the surface. It also has a small shelf on it so you can store your razor, tweezers, or the squeegee. This product not only makes a great gift for any adult on your list, it also makes a great gift to yourself, and can be purchased at Amazon.com!

How To Set Up Your Guest Room On A Budget

0
0

It’s great to have guests to stay over. They might be relatives, kids who have since moved out or friends travelling from far away. Like any room of the house, you want to make it homely and inviting so your guests will feel comfortable and welcome. Setting up a guestroom however, can take up plenty of time and resources for a room that isn’t used often. So here are some tips for setting up your guest room on a budget.

How To Set Up Your Guest Room On A Budget

Pick an affordable, comfortable bed

A comfortable bed need not be expensive. Indeed, there are some great deals available on single, double, queen- and king-size beds on the market. Select the beds according to the guests you’re likely to host, whether couples or singles. You could get one larger bed or two single beds that could be pushed together, depending on what suits your budget and the room.

If you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality mattress but do not have the time to go physically shopping for one, it’s worth considering online channels to find what you need. Companies such as Sleepy’s Express have a wide range of quality mattresses that can be ordered online, made and delivered directly to your home.

Tasteful and simple décor

One rule of thumb when decorating a guest room is to keep it tasteful and simple. Keeping colours fairly neutral ensures the room will suit the aesthetics of most guests, so neither women or men will feel uncomfortable in a room that is a touch too feminine or masculine. Moreover, neutral colours aren’t affected much by changing trends, meaning the décor you choose can last longer without going out of style. Plenty of department stores and home-maker centres have a wide range of curtains, bedspreads, and floor coverings at reasonable prices that can make your guest room look great.

Furniture and fittings

Aside from a bed, a guest room will need a few key pieces of furniture and fittings to be practical and welcoming. If your guest room lacks built-in wardrobes, perhaps a free-standing wardrobe or hanging rack could fulfil this need. Don’t forget a chest of drawers for guests to neatly stow away their clothes and other belongings. Any why not perch a large mirror atop the drawers? A simple, tasteful mirror is not only handy for personal grooming, but can also make a small guestroom feel larger and brighter.

Alongside the bed or beds you’ll need a bedside table or two. Furniture stores will often sell affordable sets comprising of chests and bedside tables. These small tables are perfect for holding a couple of books, glasses, a reading lamp and dentures. The room is almost complete. All you need now is a reading lamp or two from the lighting section at your local home-maker centre, and perhaps a matching lampshade if the main room light is of the hanging variety. And voila! You have a complete guestroom.

 

These are just a few hints for setting up a guest room on a budget. Why not leave your suggestions and experiences below?
