If your guest bedroom is full of mismatched furniture–there’s no need to panic. Now is the time to do a little DIY. A fresh coat of paint or adding a different color stain can transform those pieces into a matching furniture set that creates a cohesive look in your guest bedroom. Pull the look together with coordinating accessories like throw pillows, bedding and throw rugs.

Freshen up the room and add personal touches that will make your guests feel right at home. From fresh flowers on the nightstand, a few snacks left by the bed and towels and toiletries that are just for your guests, these small additions can make home feel even more welcoming.

3. Give Guests a Place to Work

While you’ll want to create a space that your guests can relax in and get a good night’s rest, they may need to do some work while they visit. If that’s the case, consider creating a small home office area in your guest room. Transform a small closet into a work space or choose a desk that has a small footprint. Offer plenty of lighting and a comfortable chair so your guest can wrap up their work while they stay in your home.

4. Add a Bold Color

To make a dramatic change in a plain guest bedroom, choose a bold color that will wrap the room in warmth and style. From paint, wallpaper or an accent wall, the guest room is the perfect space to try out colors that you’ve wanted to use, but haven’t found the right space. Just be sure to choose colors that allow guests to relax when it’s time to end the day.

5. Spend the Night in the Room

If you’ve never spent the night in your guest room–now is the time. You’ll be able to test out the mattress, know if you need to add blackout shades for early morning sun, or know firsthand if the room gets chilly at night. Once you know the conditions of the room, you can make any changes that are needed so your guests get the best experience each and every night of their stay.

6. Offer Plenty of Storage

Don’t let your guests live out of a suitcase. Even in a small space, you can offer plenty of storage. From skipping nightstands and using small cabinets next to the bed, to choosing a bed that has drawers along the base, and even extra shelves on the walls to hold all of their items, get creative with storage options. Maximize closet space by clearing out your items–or at least moving everything to a higher shelf, and leave plenty of room for your guests’ belongings.

7. Even Small Spaces Can Have a Big Impact

If you’re converting a small space into a guest room, a few careful designs and details can make the room feel larger and make it the perfect spot for company. From opting for furniture with a smaller footprint, choosing a simple and light color scheme, adding plenty of mirrors and pulling your curtains all the way to the ceiling, these simple changes will instantly make the room appear larger.

8. Offer Plenty of Bedding Options

Make sure your guests are feeling cozy at night by leaving several layers of extra bedding in case they get hot or cold when they sleep. Also don’t forget to leave a variety of pillows with differing firmness. You’ll be the perfect host or hostess with these additions. While decorative blankets and pillows add color and texture to the room, they often aren’t comfortable to sleep on–so let guests have their pick of bedding.

9. Create a Sitting Area in the Room

If you have the space in your room, give your guests a place to pull up a chair and have a seat by creating a sitting area. From a great decorative chair, a cozy bench, to a small set of tables and chairs, offer your guest a place to relax, scroll or read while they stay with you. This is also a great way to add zones to a large room and make your design more purposeful.

10. Add Plenty of Light to the Room

Don’t leave your guest in the dark. Make sure the guest room is filled with light–natural light from windows, added light from lamps and overhead lighting, and don’t forget to leave a nightlight. You’ll also want to make sure all of that light can be darkened at night. Blackout curtains are a nice touch to make sure guests won’t be woken up with the sun.

11. Make the Bed the Focal Point

Whether you’re working with a small space or an extra large guest room, turning the bed into the focal point will make the room look and feel well designed. From choosing a fabulous bed frame or headboard, adding extra layers of bedding and comforters that will give your guest room a five star hotel finish, and completing the look with throw pillows and blankets, your guests will appreciate the extra details.

Don’t let your guest room feel cluttered and overwhelmed. Keep it simple and airy so your guests feel relaxed and you don’t have to spend hours in the room cleaning before guests arrive. From fresh and light colors and furniture, well placed decor and adding touches of nature with plants, you can create a serene space for guests in your home. Plus it will be a space that’s easy to tidy before and after guests arrive.

Flora by Gucci Eau de Parfum Gucci for women

Flora by Gucci Eau de Parfum by Gucci is a Floral fragrance for women. Flora by Gucci Eau de Parfum was launched in 2010. Top notes are Peony, Citruses and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Osmanthus and Rose; base notes are Sandalwood, Patchouli and Pink Pepper.

The new edition,Flora by Gucci EDP, can be expected on the market at the beginning of 2010. This version was announced as more intense, deeper, seductive and richer. Notes of Flora by Gucci Eau de Parfum promise the same youthful and optimistic expression of the composition as it was offered by EDT. The difference lies in stronger concentration of the EDP edition. Flora by Gucci was envisaged and created by Frida Giannini who was inspired by Gucci floral pattern used first as a scarf for Grace, Princess of Monaco. Floral motive has been enchanting women with glamorous and feminine details for decades.

Flora by Gucci Eau de Parfum is characterized by fresh notes of agrums in the opening, combined with beautiful peony. A heart introduces balanced aromas of rose and osmanthus, while a base is created of patchouli and sandalwood. The more opulent, stronger and more powerful EDP has the same flacon as the original edition, but is decorated with gold details on a black bow ribbon, black cap and darker liquid. The fragrance arrives in January 2010.

10 Jewelry Essentials Every Wardrobe Needs

All products featured on Vogue are independently selected by our editors. However, we may earn affiliate revenue on this article and commission when you buy something.

Every wardrobe has certain must-haves to keep dressing streamlined and easy. Jewelry essentials follow much the same rules of a capsule wardrobe—the best jeans, sweater, T-shirt, jacket, etc., translate to certain classic and timeless jewelry essentials. 

The perfect diamond studs and chain necklace are just as big of a fashion crutch as blue jeans and a white T-shirt. Narrow enough to keep getting dressed stress-free while also keeping you looking top-notch. Think of this as a foundational buy you can turn to daily, but one that still leaves room for those special purchases to give your look personality.

Below, our guide to the 10 pieces of classic, timeless jewelry that will never lead you astray.

Stud Earrings

There’s a reason the stud is your first earring. Besides the whole piercing process, it simply goes with everything. They add an easy touch of sparkle that can be worn no matter the occasion—gym and pool included.

Hoop Earrings

It’s a classic style that delivers subtle attitude. Big or small, hoop earrings make a statement without being over the top.

Bangle Bracelet

Adorn your arms with a single bangle bracelet or stack them up—the latter will create the most delightful jingling sound. They pair well with just about everything, from a cable knit sweater to a breezy sundress.

Pendant Necklace

A pendant is an easy way to wear something meaningful (your initials, your zodiac sign) close to your heart. Best of all, there’s no need to wear just one. 

Foundrae Disk Drop necklace

$1,445 AT NET-A-PORTER

Sophie Buhai tiny heart pendant necklace

$375 AT SSENSE

Gold Chain Necklace

Thick or thin, gold chain necklaces are an essential. A more chunky style will add an edge to your ensemble (perfect for power dressing), while a wispy chain adds a bit of femininity. You’ll likely need one of each. 

Laura Lombardi Calle gold-plated necklace

$268 AT NET-A-PORTER

Lizzie Mandler gold chain-link necklace

$5,110 AT MATCHESFASHION

Pearl Strand

Pearl necklaces are passed down for a reason—they will absolutely never go out of style. We love a double strand with various-sized pearls, but you can’t go wrong with the classic single stand either.

Sophie Bille Brahe Petite Peggy necklace

$2,750 AT NET-A-PORTER

Loren Stewart Belisimo pearl strand neckalce

$345 AT SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

Signet Ring

Stamped with your initials, glittering with diamonds, or shiny and bare, a signet is the perfect ring for your pinkie. No other ring on your hand is necessary—but, of course, welcome.

Jade Trau signet ring

$3,800 AT NET-A-PORTER

Ferian Galleon Wedgwood gold signet ring

$915 AT MATCHESFASHION

Stacking Ring

Wearing more than one ring on a finger can take some strategy. Do they fit snuggly on top of each other?  Do they add too much bulk to your digit? A simple gold band is a great starting point but better yet, opt for an already stacked multi-ring style that will do all the work for you.

Phillips House Enchanted Sash pinky ring

$1,550 AT PHILLIPS HOUSE

Spinelli Kilcollin Nimbus ring

$2,900 AT MATCHESFASHION

Colorful Stone

Playing with the gold and silver hues in jewelry is fun but so is the blue of a sapphire or the deep red of a garnet. A colored stone accessory is the easiest way to add a bit of dimension to your all-neutral ensemble or bring out the flecks of green in your eyes.

Ear Rings

Ear rings are one of the most popular accessories for women around the world. These small pieces of jewelry can enhance any outfit and add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any look. Ear rings are versatile and come in a wide range of styles, materials, and designs, making it easy to find the perfect pair for any occasion.

Ear rings have been worn for thousands of years, with evidence of their use dating back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Initially, ear rings were made from materials like bone, shells, and wood. Later, precious metals like gold and silver were used to create more intricate designs.

Today, ear rings come in a variety of styles, from simple studs to bold hoops, elegant drop earrings, and trendy tassel earrings. They can be made from materials like gold, silver, platinum, and various types of gemstones, as well as costume jewelry made from plastic, beads, or other materials.

Ear rings are not only a fashion accessory but can also have cultural or symbolic significance. In some cultures, ear rings are worn as a symbol of marital status, while in others, they are seen as a sign of wealth or social status. In addition, ear rings can also be used to express personal style, with some women choosing to wear ear rings that reflect their personality or interests.

When choosing ear rings, it is important to consider your face shape, as certain styles can enhance or detract from your facial features. Round faces, for example, are best suited for longer, dangling ear rings, while square faces can be enhanced with hoop or round earrings. Similarly, it is important to consider your outfit and the occasion when selecting ear rings, as different styles can complement or clash with your overall look.

In addition to style and design, it is also essential to consider the quality of ear rings when purchasing them. Quality ear rings will be made from high-quality materials and will be sturdy and durable, ensuring that they last for years to come. It is also essential to pay attention to the closure of the ear rings, as a secure closure can prevent them from falling out or getting lost.

In conclusion, ear rings are a versatile and fashionable accessory that can enhance any outfit and express personal style. With a wide range of styles, materials, and designs, it is easy to find the perfect pair of ear rings for any occasion. When selecting ear rings, it is important to consider your face shape, outfit, and the occasion, as well as the quality of the ear rings, to ensure that you get the most out of this beautiful accessory.
