Soap is a guest bathroom necessity, and let us face it, your visitors can get Dove or Ivory at home. For a relaxing, over-the-top experience, a lovely scented soap is essential. A fresh bar every time looks the nicest, and as a bonus, you can indulge in the leftovers.

40″ English Roll Arm Slipcovered Chaise – $2,195
In the event the fall-right-to-sleep mattress is the main course of this guest bedroom, then a comfy chaise is the dessert. There is no better spot to curl up with a good book while winding down before bedtime. If a gorgeous, cashmere throw is draped over the finish for dozing, all the better…

Cashmere Throw, Ivory – $495
Nothing makes your guests feel right at home such as the softness of a nice, luxe cashmere throw. If you don’t have space for a chaise, we adore throws on the end of the mattress too.
Lighting Direct
Bamboo Floor Lamp with Cream Crinkle Shades – $598.40
To us, nothing affects a look of this space over soft, lovely lighting. Vary harsh overhead bulbs to the glow of a lamp. We love the appearance of the bamboo-inspired version and would make use of it supporting the duvet for a gorgeous reading light.
Inside Avenue
Gold Morroco Hexagonal Side Table – $455
Instead to place books or keep a steaming mug of coffee at arm’s reach, a perfectly proportioned table with the chaise is a must. We love the hexagonal shape, mirrored top and golden colour of the one. The open shape makes it feel light and airy.

Nothing says”welcome” like a space and bathroom graced by freshly cut flowers. These bud vases are excellent for displaying a few stems. If it comes to flowers, we state that the more, the better. A vase in the bathroom, on the bedside table and on the desk brings the outside into your lavish space.
Satin Padded Hangers – $12.59

For those parched, middle-of-the-night minutes, acquiring a carafe and water glass by the bed is a must. We adore this lead-free crystal water set, so our visitors are not stumbling about in the dark looking for the kitchen.
