19 Tips and DIYs to Master the Ultimate Fall Guest Room Makeover

If you’re expecting guests this fall, you’ve probably taken a look at your guest room and realized it’s been a *while* since you set foot in it. And if you’re just now realizing that your guest room is in need of a major makeover, don’t panic — we’ve all been there. You’ll no longer have to worry when your mom stops by for an unexpected weekend visit because luckily for you, you can revamp the room in six quick steps. You can make changes that will have your guests swooning. Check out these helpful tips and DIYs that will give your guest room the much-needed makeover it deserves.

1. Tidy Up: The best way to greet your guests is by giving them a neat and tidy room to relax in. It may even be necessary to donate clothes or bedding to help rid your room of any unnecessary clutter. (via New Zealand Design Blog)

2. DIY Velcro Bedskirt: Let’s face it: Sometimes you can’t hide everything, but this bed skirt DIY will certainly help. This DIY skirt would be wonderful for tucking eyesores like out-of-season knick knacks and clothing out of the way until you’re ready to use them again. (via A Beautiful Mess)

3. DIY Smell Good Candles: Scent is one of the first ways you can establish your guest room as a comfort zone, so greet your guests with one of your favorite scented candles that you DIYed, for that personal touch. Cluster them on a plate to keep the room feeling organized. (via Brit + Co)

4. Gilded Ceramic Vanity DIY: There’s nothing worse than a messy house guest. Encourage your guests to stay organized by leaving them a catch-all vanity tray for their jewelry and other miscellaneous items. (via Brit + Co)

5. On-Time Wall Clock DIY: A clock is an essential (and oft-forgotten) need for every guest room. Make sure all of your guests, especially out-of-towners, are aware of the time. (via Dream Green DIY)

6. Ottoman Storage DIY: Make sure your guests have plenty of blankets and pillows during their stay. A good way to do this is by putting these items somewhere your guests will see them, like on a dresser or ottoman. (via Brit + Co)

7. Refresh the Bedding: A fun (and easy) way to make over any guest room is by refreshing the bedding decor. With a soft new comforter set, your guests will rest happily and comfortably. (via Brit + Co)

8. DIY Pouf Seating: Update your room with new and vibrant seating options to assure your guests will be as comfortable as possible. Seating option ideas include poufs, ottomans, chairs and loveseats. (via Kristi Murphy)

9. DIY Pillow Covers: If you don’t have the budget for an entirely new comforter set, just update your throw pillows. This inexpensive change will give your room an entirely new theme or vibe. (via Brit + Co)

10. Charging Station: The best guest rooms have everything your guest may need. A dedicated charging station is everything your guest never knew they needed and will show just much you care. (via The V Spot Blog)

11. TV Entertainment: Your company may have an obsession with The Bachelor or How to Get Away With Murder. Ensure they don’t miss their favorite shows by adding a mounted TV to the wall in their room. (via The Every Girl)

12. WiFi Password Display: The first question every houseguest asks when they arrive is, “What’s your WiFi password?” Put your WiFi info on display in a frame or on a message board. (via Chicfetti)

13. Storage Dresser: Make sure your houseguest has plenty of space to store their delicates and fashionables. A cool way to do this is by leaving them enough storage space in a dresser or closet. (via Brit + Co)

14. Bed Slat Storage: If you don’t have enough closet space for their belongings, add this fun wall storage to your wall. This will ensure your guests will be able to stay organized with everything in arms reach. (via Brit + Co)

15. DIY Ombre Rope Hamper: Your houseguests will be going through a few outfits during their stay. Leave a laundry basket in the room to make sure they don’t leave with dirty clothes. (via One O)

16. Welcome Basket: We’ve all forgotten an item or two while on vacation: like accidentally leaving behind a toothbrush or shampoo bottle. Amaze your guests by welcoming them with a basket full of essential toiletries. (via Mr and Mrs 2015)

17. Spa Basket DIY: Another great way to greet your guests upon arrival is by treating them to a spa-in-the-box welcome basket. This will be especially well-received if they’ll be super busy during their stay. (via Brit + Co)

18. Midnight Snack Box: You want to go above and beyond for your loved ones, so throw together a midnight snack box. Make sure you include their favorite sweets and go-to salty craving. (via You Are My Fav)

19. Guest Room Bar Cart: You already have a bar cart in your main living space for entertaining guests with their favorite booze. Why not create a similar bar cart for your guest room that includes everything they may need? Booze is an obvious must-have, but also include a few snacks, toiletries and freshly cut flowers.

Wallpaper Tips:

  • Work with a buddy: Hanging wallpaper on a ceiling can be tricky, so having an extra set of hands can make it much easier.
  • Use a temporary support: For longer strips, you might need to support the wallpaper temporarily with painter's tape until it's actually secured.
  • Consider your lighting situation: When choosing wallpaper, keep in mind how ceiling lighting will affect the wallpaper color and pattern. Make sure to test a swatch by taping it to the ceiling and observing the day and night light.

Painting Tips

  • Paint in natural light: If possible, paint during the day when natural light is brightest. This helps you catch any missed spots or uneven coverage more easily.
  • Start with the edges: Use a brush to “cut in” around the edges of the ceiling, creating a border. This makes it easier to roll paint up to the edges without bumping into walls or light fixtures.
  • Use a pole extension: An extension pole gives you better control, minimizes neck strain, and helps you achieve an even coat.
  • Roll in one direction, then cross-roll: Apply the first coat by rolling in one direction, usually parallel to the longest wall. Then, cross-roll by going perpendicular to the first direction to avoid streaks.
  • Let each coat dry. This is the kind of project you don't want to rush, so let your layers dry before applying another coat. The paint can should say drying times for the best finish!

But, she thought she may have gone overboard because her email to the comedian never got a response. "I might've got the wrong email...That's what I tell myself."

October 24, 2025: John Mulaney Praises Olivia Munn In Moving Speech

As evidenced by his passionate speech at InStyle's inaugural Imagemaker Award, John's no stranger to expressing his love for his wife. Olivia received the Woman of Impact award which seeks to celebrate a celebrity who's used their platform to shed light on something they genuinely care about (via PEOPLE). John used the time he presented the award to Olivia to talk about the breast cancer diagnosis that rocked their worlds.

"About a year [after learning of her diagnosis], Olivia shared her story," he began. "This was a cancer that was not detected from a BRCA gene test, it was not detected by a mammogram. It was detected because she took a heretofore not-that-known test called the lifetime breast cancer risk assessment test and they found that she had a 37 percent chance of breast cancer. And about a month later, she was having a double mastectomy. She shared her story to help anyone she could. According to the National Cancer Institute, in the week after Olivia shared the story of her breast cancer journey, there was a 4,000 percent increase in women visiting the breast cancer risk assessment. That was the first week. Olivia saving lives by speaking her truth is not surprising to me."

We love to see how John has been standing by her side throughout each stage of their relationship and wish them all the best!

November 12, 2024: John Mulaney Reveals Why Olivia Munn Drug Tested Him While Pregnant

In an article for GQ, John Mulaney and Olivia Munn got radically vulnerable about his recovery process. Olivia describes John's post-rehab self — and early on in their relationship, at that — as really unsteady and unsure of his sobriety. She says, "It was like watching a man in a tsunami. I was watching someone newly sober, at the edge of a cliff, and I didn’t know him well enough to help him."

John told her he was afraid of relapsing, but Olivia also explains that her pregnancy didn't seem to be what scared him or fueled his relapse fears. She says, “That’s the one thing that made him seem light and happy. I remember he was really excited to tell his parents.”

Still, Olivia wanted to be an active participant in John's recovery, so she started drug testing him randomly — all while she was six months pregnant. According to John, this was "a relief," and it's a habit they still have today. He says, “I like to be able to not even have that be a question in her or anyone else’s mind. Something about peeing in that cup is like, I’m walking this walk. It gives me confidence.”

Listen – we love ketchup, mayo, mustard, and all your other favorite condiments– by no means are we suggesting that mayo doesn’t have a place in BLTs and potato salad recipes. But, if you haven’t tried aioli — a popular dipping sauce with Mediterranean origins — you’re seriously missing out.

Aioli recipes are traditionally made with garlic, olive oil, and sometimes eggs (the combination of which is, of course, mayonnaise), but modern iterations also throw in lemon juice, garlic, and a whole plethora of other delicious herbs and spices. Here are 25 of our favorite aioli recipes, but be warned: once you dip your French fries in aioli, you’ll never go back.
