If you like to entertain guests at your home then you should have a guest room so that you have a comfortable space for people to stay when they visit – the couch is not the best solution. It will require careful thought and planning to design the perfect guest room which will allow your guests to feel settled, comfortable and at home during their stay. Here are a few design tips:
The Bed
The most important feature in the room will be the bed. Your guests will need a comfortable bed that will provide a good night’s sleep so make sure that you invest in a quality bed frame, mattress and bedding.
Wall Colour
The guest bedroom is often a small (if not the smallest) room in the home so you will want to make it appear bigger which can be achieved with a light colour on the walls. Additionally, this is neutral so that all guests can feel comfortable in the space. You should also try to maximize natural light to make the space seem bigger.
Decor
You will want to make the room feel cosy and welcoming so you should add simple decor which any type of guest would feel comfortable with. This could be simple black and white prints, a wall clock, plants etc.
Curtains
It is essential that your guests are able to get a good night’s sleep so you need to invest in high-quality curtains/blinds which keep out the light. It is good practice to spend a night in the guest room to make sure that it is comfortable and a suitable sleeping environment.
Furniture
You do need want or need too much furniture in this space as your guests will not spend a huge amount of time here and it can take up space. A single wardrobe from somewhere like Cotswold Co will allow your guest(s) to hang enough clothes for a few days. You should then also have a bedside table with a lamp and space for their phone, book etc. This should leave enough floor space for their suitcase/overnight bag and enough space to move around the room.
Finishing Touches
There are then a few finishing touches which can be used to complete the guest room. This will include things like fresh towels each day, a bottle of water, phone charger, toiletries and a welcome note (be sure to include the WiFi password). Hopefully this information will help you to design the perfect guest bedroom. It is nice to be able to offer friends and family a comfortable room to stay so that they can visit for a few days and not have to sleep on the sofa or find a hotel room to stay in. This will allow you to entertain guests more often and enjoy having people to stay the night
