Spare Bedroom Design Ideas with Shackletons Home and Garden

Decorating a spare bedroom is often forgotten about and always seems to be the last on the priority list. However, if your new years resolution is to finally get around to decorating that spare room, we’ve got you covered! From choosing the perfect bed frame to adding the finishing touches at Shackletons Home and Garden we have a fantastic range of furniture and accessories to help you bring your vision to life.

Choose the Perfect Bed

The bed is a great place to start when you’re thinking about redecorating your spare bedroom. If you’re after something timeless, the Bell & Stocchero Como Double Bed is a brilliant choice. Its understated design means it blends beautifully with a range of interiors while offering a cosy and restful night’s sleep.

For smaller rooms or for those who like furniture that works a little harder, a sofa bed can be a game changer. The Gallery Direct Dunton Sofa Bed in light grey not only looks stylish but also doubles up as a comfy sofa during the day and a bed at night. It’s perfect for keeping things versatile without compromising on comfort.

Handy Bedside Tables

A bedside table can make all the difference in convenience and tidiness. The Foxington Bedside Table in natural oak brings a touch of warmth and character to the room, while the Bell & Stocchero Como Nightstand is a simple, single-drawer option that’s perfect for keeping things neat in more compact areas. Both are ideal for holding essentials like a lamp, your latest read, or a glass of water.

Clever Storage Solutions

Keeping the room organised is easier with the right storage options. A wardrobe is a must-have for spare bedrooms, and the Bell & Stocchero Como Double Wardrobe with Drawer offers both hanging space and a handy drawer for smaller items. For those who love natural finishes, the Foxington Double Wardrobe is another excellent choice, with plenty of room for clothes, towels, or bedding.

Make It Feel Inviting

Little details can go a long way in making the room feel considered and welcoming.

• Stick to Soothing Colours: soft, neutral tones for walls and bedding create a relaxing vibe. Add texture and personality with a few patterned cushions or a snug throw.
• Thoughtful Touches: when you have guests staying leave a fresh set of towels on the bed, add a bedside lamp, and maybe a small tray for personal belongings. These simple additions show care and make guests feel looked after.
• Add a Mirror: a mirror, whether wall-mounted or freestanding, is a great way to brighten up the room and make it feel more open.
• Layer the Lighting: use a combination of table lamps, wall lights, and overhead lighting to create a cosy feel in the evenings and ensure the room is well-lit during the day.
• Choose Multi-Function Furniture: a storage ottoman or a desk that can double as a dressing table works brilliantly in rooms where every piece of furniture counts.

Add a Personal Touch

Finally, bring the room to life with a few decorative accents. A framed print, a small plant, or a rug can make the room feel lived-in and welcoming without overdoing it. These little touches tie everything together and show that thought has gone into creating a lovely environment for your guests.
