These affordable guest bedroom ideas will help you turn your spare room into a cozy, welcoming retreat — all for under $150.

When life gets busy, the guest bedroom often becomes the “everything room” — where laundry piles up and random boxes go to hide. But with guests on the way (or just a desire to refresh your space), it’s easier than you think to make it feel like a high-end retreat — without spending a fortune.

As a real estate and decor business owner, I’m constantly helping clients create beautiful spaces on a budget. Today I’m sharing 4 easy upgrades that will make your guest bedroom feel luxurious for under $150 total.

1. Add a Statement Table Lamp

Cost estimate: $30–$60

Lighting changes everything. A bold table lamp adds character and instantly creates a designer “hotel feel.” Look for oversized lamps, playful shapes, or textured finishes to draw attention.

Bonus tip: Don’t forget to use warm white or dimmable bulbs for extra ambiance.

NEST Tip: We have unique lamp finds under 1.5M VND at our showroom. You can also explore local lighting shops or vintage markets. # Affordable Lighting Ideas: Add a Statement Table Lamp

2. Upgrade Your Pillowcases to a Luxury Fabric

Cost estimate: $20–$40

Forget replacing your entire bedding set — a beautiful pair of pillowcases in Tencel, linen, or bamboo can completely transform the look and feel of a bed. They’re soft, breathable, and immediately give your guest room that boutique-hotel touch.

At NEST, we recommend oversized pillows with luxe cases in soft oat, fern, or rose tones for a calm, dreamy vibe. Upgrade with Luxury Pillowcases on a Budget

3. Add Signature Scents with Candles or Room Sprays

Cost estimate: $15–$35

A room’s scent is one of the first things your guests will notice. Make it memorable and elegant with luxury home fragrance with our affordable guest bedroom ideas.

We recommend:

• Candles from In The Mood Saigon – rich, long-lasting, and perfect for gifting.
• Room sprays by Akemi Home – Ocean and Lily of the Valley are our top picks for their soft, calming notes.

These are affordable, easy to use, and instantly make the room feel intentional and loved. Add Signature Scents for a Boutique Feel.

4. Anchor the Room with a Statement Rug

Cost estimate: $100-$120

Even a small rug can completely change the feel of your guest bedroom. A soft runner beside the bed or a low-pile area rug in a neutral tone will add warmth, texture, and polish to your space.

At NEST, we offer ready-made rugs and custom sizes to fit your space and budget — all without going over $150 total.

Final Thoughts: Create a Luxe Look with Simple Upgrades

You don’t need to repaint or renovate. With just four well-chosen elements — a stylish lamp, luxe pillowcases, a signature scent, and a grounding rug — you can create a space that feels welcoming and expensive, all for under $150.
