Styling Mink Fabric Beds in Guest Rooms

Mink sits somewhere between grey and brown, with a soft, warm undertone that makes it one of the easiest upholstery colours to build a guest room around. It flatters most wall shades, hides everyday marks better than ivory and feels welcoming without being overly personal, which is exactly what a spare room needs. In this guide, we explain which wall colours bring out the best in a mink fabric bed, from warm whites and putty to sage, dusky blue and deeper clay tones. We cover bed sizes for typical British spare rooms, bedding combinations that look generous rather than fussy, and the small pieces of furniture that make guests comfortable, such as a bedside cabinet, somewhere to hang clothes and a place to set down a suitcase. You will also find advice on lighting, finishing touches and how to keep a guest room useful on the many days it is not occupied....
