There are many different ways you can transform your guest room. Why wouldn’t you want your guests to experience comfort and peace? It’s only right to roll out the red carpet for your guests. We’ll give you some simple ways to transform your guest room here.
Get a Comfortable Bed and a Quilt
The bed is usually the focal point of any guest room—for a good reason. It’s where your guests will lay their heads at night. Because of this, you must have a comfortable bed. Soft cotton sheets and a good memory foam or spring mattress with good spinal support are key.
Second, did you know that quilts have a long and illustrious history? One of the reasons they’re so popular is because they make amazing decorative items. You can throw them over your bed in case the air conditioning or fan makes your guests chilly—summer is coming, so that’s possible. Alternatively, you can throw it over a chair for decorative purposes.
There’s nothing better than a comfortable bed, comfy sheets, and a handmade quilt to give your guests comfort and ease.
Get Some House Plants
House plants have an amazing effect on people. It’s like bringing nature into your guest room. You want to make sure your guest isn’t allergic. However, if they aren’t, it’s a wonderful way to create a soothing atmosphere with an amazing smell. Being around plants can decrease your depressive moods and even lessen anxiety symptoms. Don’t hesitate to place a plant in your guest room, especially if you want your guests to be soothed, comfy, and well rested upon leaving your home.
Make Sure There’s a Place To Sit
You’ll want to ensure you have room for your guests to sit. They may want to have a seat, from cuddling up with a book to resting in a place that isn’t the bed. Have a recliner and an ottoman so your guests can kick their feet up. This is a simple way to transform your guest room into something amazing. These small changes can have big effects, so don’t hesitate to incorporate them into your guest room!

Secretary-General/South Africa
The Secretary-General arrived in South Africa today and began his meetings right away. He started with meetings and discussions with government officials.
The visit as you know comes at a critical time as South Africa assumes the presidency of the G20 for the upcoming year. In a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa, they exchanged views on issues of common interest, including the Sustainable Development Goals, the reform of the international financial architecture, Financing for Development, Climate Action and, of course, the G20 agenda for 2025.
Prior to that, the Secretary-General delivered some remarks at a meeting of the G20 Sherpas that is going on in Johannesburg. His message was that our financial institutions need an update, and developing countries must be represented fairly in their governance.
The Secretary-General also held discussions with the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, Ronald Lamola. And in a joint press encounter afterward, the Secretary-General said that he is currently on a mission of solidarity and a mission for justice. Africa has enormous potential, he said, but the continent continues to be held back by injustices that are deeply rooted in the history of colonialism.
The situation in the Middle East is always on the Secretary-General’s mind and in response to questions he said that in Syria, we see some signs of hope coming from the end of the dictatorship. He added that the UN is totally committed to supporting a smooth transition of power, and with an inclusive political process in which the rights of all minorities will be fully respected. He also spoke about the immense tragedy of the Palestinian people whose right for self-determination and to have their own State must be constantly reaffirmed.
On Sudan, he underscored that we need all parties silencing the guns and committing to a path towards sustainable peace and accountability for the Sudanese people. All those remarks were shared with you.
Senior personnel appointment
The Secretary-General is appointing Major General Anita Asmah of Ghana as the Head of Mission and Force Commander of the UN Disengagement Observer Force, otherwise known as UNDOF.
Major General Asmah succeeds Lieutenant General Nirmal Kumar Thapa of Nepal, who will complete his assignment in mid-December, so very shortly.
The Secretary-General is grateful for General Thapa’s leadership and dedication to UN peacekeeping efforts.
For her part, Major General Asmah brings to the position 31 years of leadership and command experience in the Ghana Armed Forces as well as UN peacekeeping.
Most recently, she served as Director General in the Department of Defence Civilian Establishment of the Ghanaian Armed Forces. Prior to that, she was the Deputy Force Commander of UNDOF from 2021-2023.
Syria humanitarian
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) today said that the security situation in Syria remains volatile, as airstrikes and localized hostilities have continued to affect many parts of the country. We are concerned about the risks of explosive ordnance as people continue to be on the move.
UN partners have identified more than 50 minefields over the past 10 days, which is curtailing the movement of civilians and impeding the delivery of goods and services.
The UN and its partners continue to support the response across the country and are resuming humanitarian activities as security conditions allow.
UN local and national partners in Homs are gradually resuming humanitarian activities. The water stations in Al-Husayn city have now been reactivated, which benefits the residents of both Homs and Hama.
Meanwhile, in the north-east Syria, humanitarian activities have been constrained by insecurity. Despite the challenges, our partners have managed to distribute dozens of tents, thousands of mattresses, blankets, sleeping bags and solar lamps to centres hosting displaced people in Tabqa and Raqqa.
The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, said in a social media post yesterday that much is in flux in the country, but vital aid must continue to flow, and critical health and other services must be sustained. He also reiterated that humanitarians would continue to engage whenever and wherever needed to support the Syrian people.

United Nations Video: Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for 2025 - UN Chief Message | United Nations
Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the High-level Pledging Event on the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for 2025.
"Excellencies, Friends,
Welcome to the High-Level Pledging Event for the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund.
CERF is a United Nations success story.
It is a first responder in crisis – rooted in rapid analysis, rapid decision and rapid implementation.
And is centred around putting people first – and kick-starting relief as soon as possible.
Year after year, CERF has proven its unique, effective and vital role.
2025 will mark twenty years since CERF began its lifesaving work.
Supporting millions of people and communities around the world.
Deploying over 9 billion dollars for the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Alleviating the suffering of those most in need in over one hundred countries — from Sudan to Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Yemen and many more.
Helping countries confront climate disasters through the new CERF Climate Action Account.
And investing in anticipatory action in Bangladesh, Nepal, Chad and elsewhere before disaster strikes.
At its heart, CERF is truly “for all, by all”.
In the two decades since its inception, more than sixty recipient countries have themselves become donors.
But we need more support to build on CERF’s record of results.
As humanitarian needs soar, contributions are failing to keep pace.
The need for a fully funded CERF – at 1 billion dollars – has never been greater.
I sincerely thank all those that have contributed for their generosity.
Your donations save lives.
But in this hour of greatest need, I also ask countries to dig deeper. And new donors to step forward.
Help CERF help others.
Together, let’s enable CERF to deliver effectively for the safety and dignity of all people impacted by emergencies."

This morning, the Secretary-General travelled to South Africa, where he will begin discussions on Wednesday with President Cyril Ramaphosa, as well as other senior officials.
Conversations with the leadership in Pretoria will include several topics pertaining to the region and to the African continent. He will also be discussing Financing for Development, Climate Action and the G20 agenda for 2025. As you know, South Africa is now presiding over the G20 for the next year.
On Thursday, he will head to Lesotho, where he will meet His Majesty King Letsie III. The solidarity trip to this land-locked country will be an opportunity to shed light on the resilience of this nation. It will also be an opportunity to reaffirm the UN’s continued support to Lesotho and the African continent.
Central Emergency Response Fund
This morning, in New York, the High-Level Pledging conference for the UN Central Emergency Response Fund got underway.
In a video message for the event, the Secretary-General said that the Emergency Response Fund, known to all of us as CERF, is a United Nations success story.
It is a first responder in crisis, he said, rooted in rapid analysis, rapid decision and rapid implementation.
And it is centred around putting people first – and kick-starting relief as soon as possible.
The Secretary-General stressed that the need for a fully funded CERF – at 1 billion dollars – has never been greater.
He also thanked those who have already contributed to the Fund while asking those countries to dig deeper and new donors to step forward.
Help CERF is to help others, he said.
For his part, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Tom Fletcher, thanked all those who have supported the CERF this year and over the years, and he echoed Mr. Guterres’ call for others to step forward.
And our colleagues at OCHA will provide you with the total funding announced at the conference as soon as the bean counters have finished counting.

United Nations Video: Human Rights Day - UN Chief's Message | United Nations
Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on Human Rights Day (10 December 2024).
-----------------------------------------
On Human Rights Day, we face a harsh truth.
Human rights are under assault.
Tens of millions of people are mired in poverty, hunger, poor health and education systems that have not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Global inequalities are running rampant.
Conflicts are intensifying.
International law is wilfully ignored.
Authoritarianism is on the march while civic space is shrinking.
Hateful rhetoric is fuelling discrimination, division, and outright violence.
And women’s rights continue to be rolled back in law and practice.
This year’s theme reminds us that human rights are about building the future — right now.
All human rights are indivisible.
Whether economic, social, civic, cultural or political, when one right is undermined, all rights are undermined.
We must stand up for all rights — always.
Healing divisions and building peace.
Tackling the scourges of poverty and hunger.
Ensuring health care and education for all.
Advancing justice and equality for women, girls and minorities.
Standing up for democracy, press freedoms and workers’ rights.
Promoting the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment.
And defending human rights defenders as they carry out their vital work.
The recently adopted Pact for the Future reinforced the world’s commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
On this important day, let’s protect, defend and uphold all human rights for all people.

This is the port of Latakia after the Israeli military launched airstrikes on Syria’s naval fleet as part of its mission to neutralise military assets in the country, following the collapse of the Assad regime.
The IDF said its missiles struck the Al-Bayada and the Latakia ports simultaneously on Monday night, where 15 Syrian naval vessels were docked.
The IDF also said its warplanes bombed more than 350 sites across the country over a span of 48 hours, as Israeli troops advance deeper into the demilitarised buffer zone between Syria and the occupied Golan Heights.

Israeli tanks have reportedly been sighted just 16 miles from the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Citing security sources, news agency Reuters claims that Israeli troops have reached Qatana.
But the IDF denies its forces have advanced further than the “buffer zone” between Israel and Syria.
Israeli forces entered the demilitarised zone after the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime on Sunday.
The zone was created by the UN after the 1973 Yom Kippur War and has been patrolled by UN peacekeepers since.
Israel has also been pounding key military targets inside Syria since a lightning offensive by a rebel coalition swept aside the government forces in less than two weeks.

CBC Video: Canadian landlords accused of rent rigging using AI software
A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges more than a dozen landlords and property managers have conspired to artificially inflate rents across Canada.
The suit claims landlords and property managers did it by using software called YieldStar.
The Canadian suit alleges the software essentially allows landlords and property managers to share proprietary data on their rental pricing — information that wouldn't normally be shared with competitors — and that this could potentially allow companies to fix prices.
The move comes after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a similar lawsuit in August against RealPage Inc., the Texas-based company that created YieldStar. RealPage says it has filed a motion to dismiss the DOJ's lawsuit alleging antitrust violations.
RealPage is also named in the proposed Canadian suit. It has told CBC its software is designed to be "legally compliant" and that it will "vigorously defend itself" in court.
The suit is seeking financial compensation for any current and past tenants who have lived in any of the properties owned or operated by the 14 companies named. This issued claim is the first step before a class action is certified in court, which the main litigator on the case says could take months.
