Having a spare bedroom makes hosting guests infinitely easier. But when it comes to decorating the guest room to accommodate visitors, many homeowners are unable—or unwilling—to spend lots of money on stylish decor.

Rooms that get more use, like your main bedroom, get the bulk of your budget, while the sporadically used guest room is usually filled with leftover or unimaginative furnishings.

As you begin to think about prepping your home for another season of hosting family and friends, we’re guessing your guest room could use a pick-me-up.

Maybe you recently moved or have just been putting off a much-needed overhaul of the spare bedroom. Whatever the reason, this week’s roundup of trending Instagram decor offers up a host of impeccably decorated guest rooms. Ahead, we break down the best aspects of each room and how you can replicate the look in your own home on the cheap.

A decidedly un-Florida-looking house in Florida has hit the market for $16.9 million.

The eye-popping property’s unusual aesthetic really stands out among the palm trees.

That’s probably because the Gothic Revival home’s architectural details originated in a different place entirely.

“They came from a New York church, and it’s very, very unique to Naples, FL,” says listing agent Paul Arpin, with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s situated on one of the nicer pieces of waterfront [property].”

The dominant iBuyer lost nearly $400 million in the fourth quarter, according to an earnings call Thursday afternoon. That's better than the previous quarter, but a big jump from the same period in 2021.

The housing market today remains in a hazy no man’s land, with neither buyer nor seller willing to surrender what little control they have.

Buyers face the dual enemies of high home prices and mortgage rates, which have been bouncing between 6% and 7% this year and ticked up this week to 6.5%, according to Freddie Mac.

Sellers bear their own hardships: a glut of competition. As buyers sit on the sidelines, homes for sale linger on the market, gathering dust and dashing sellers’ hopes of bidding wars and over-asking offers.

But there is some inkling of a power shift in the buyers vs. sellers battle, and it’s in favor of the team willing to take some action: buyers.

Former “Teen Mom” star Chelsea DeBoer is gaining fame—or is it infamy?—for her signature design style on her new HGTV show, “Down Home Fab.” She describes it on the premiere as “South Dakota glam. I love cowhides, painting things black, anything a little bit different.”

Suffice it to say, her makeovers—along with some help from husband Cole—have been sending shock waves throughout her sleepy hometown of Sioux Falls, SD. And so far at least, her clients appear delighted.

But what happens when Chelsea meets clients who are, as she puts it (cue the thunder), “a little bit more reserved with their style”?

In the episode “Farmhouse Fab,” Chelsea and Cole meet Beth and Ryan, who make it clear to the DeBoers that they don’t want anything trendy or odd that they’ll get tired of looking at after a year or two (like skull wallpaper on the ceiling, perhaps). They’re more into classic and traditional decor.

As the new year kicked off, the wild run-ups in rental prices that terrorized tenants last year appear to have leveled off.

January was the 12th month in row where rent growth slowed, according to the Realtor.com® monthly rental report. Monthly rents were down $80 from the peak in August, but they were still up 2.9% year over year, to hit a median $1,726 a month in the nation’s 50 largest metropolitan areas.

(Realtor.com looked at rents for studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, condos, townhomes, and single-family homes in the 50 largest metros. Metros include the main city and surrounding towns, suburbs, and smaller urban areas.)

“The biggest takeaway is while the rental growth is slowing, the affordability concerns continue,” says Realtor.com Senior Economist Jiayi Xu.
