As it often happens, an extra bedroom, if you are lucky enough to have one, usually becomes a catchall for unfit furniture and boxes with contents that have nowhere to go. With a little smart shopping and practical do-it-yourself ideas, you can transform your personal junk room into a guest suite that looks like a million bucks. It is very easy to make a statement on a budget with a bit of creativity and forethought. First, container any items you are storing. This will provide flat space for guests to lay out travel supplies and will tidy up the space. The easiest way to change up a stale room is with new paint. Be bold, but do not overdo it. Never buy paint on your first visit to the paint store. Pull every color strip that you think might work, and lay them out with your fabric and wallpaper samples. Look at them in different light: in the morning, at lunch, before you go to bed. Narrow them down. Obsess. Ask a friend. Only then are you ready to make a purchase. Also, keep in mind that guests will be sleeping there. Still not sure what colors you want to use? Look for paint companies that sell sample jars of paint that make trying out a color easy and inexpensive. Better yet, these less-than-$5 jars provide just enough paint for covering or accenting small items such as a mirror or vanity. Have old furniture that doesn’t match? Paint it as well. A makeover of the exterior will match or compliment the new wall paint and can turn a change your walls into focal points. A sponge brush is a great tool for pushing paint into cracks and crevices. It is the perfect choice to ensure a solid coat on distressed or carved wood. A coat of white primer made it even easier to see spots we missed. Once painting is complete, accent further with simple window treatments and small items inexpensive items to provide a comfortable feel without worry about breakage. These simple makeover ideas will make your guest welcome, each and every time they visit.
