How to Organize a Beautiful Guest Room
Wouldn’t you love to have a guest room with style and all the amenities of comfort? Whether you plan on using it for an adult child who visits occasionally, or for a friend who lives out of town, you should make it a special room that will show him or her how much you care.
The following are some tips you can follow in order to put together a great guest room.
Colors
The room should have peaceful yet bright colors in it. You may want to add in something that is a bit unexpected, as well. Go with a general color scheme in a few shades, maybe with one brilliant pop of color.
Adults and Kids Alike
It’s always a good idea to create a room that is equally as nice for kids as it is for adults, if you may have younger family members come to stay over (or a friend with their child). Consider some bunk beds for the maximum use of space in a smaller room, along with a toy chest and maybe some board games or a game table.
The Right Desk
A small desk would be a wonderful addition to any guest room. If you plan on having someone over frequently who writes or does freelance work, this is an especially good idea. A sturdy wooden desk, no matter the size, is perfect for the space. Bonus if you find one with a shelf space on it that can double as a nightstand!
Suite Life
Speaking of desks, you can turn an attic or other large room into a suite for your guests. Put in a small coach or big comfy chair, little table, mini-fridge, and other comforts of home that will make your visitor glad.
Relaxation
Include a good variety of options from which your guests can choose. Some people like to have a mountain of covers on the bed, while others may not need much of anything to be comfortable. You can fold them to place at the end of the bed, or keep the bed made with light and heavier blankets and sheets. You may have a closet in the room or nearby that you keep extra linens and bath towels in.
Key Elements
Organizing a guest room involves creating a comfortable and welcoming space for your guests. Here are some key elements to consider when setting up a guest room:
Bed: A comfortable bed is essential for a guest room. Make sure to provide clean sheets, blankets, and pillows to ensure a good night’s sleep.
Storage: Provide storage options for your guests, such as a closet, dresser, or luggage rack, so they can unpack and feel more at home during their stay.
Seating: Include a comfortable chair or small sofa where guests can sit and relax or read. This can also serve as additional space for them to place their belongings.
Lighting: Good lighting is essential for any room. Make sure to provide a bedside lamp and an overhead light or a floor lamp for ambient lighting.
Bedside table: A bedside table is useful for guests to place their personal items like phones, glasses, or books. It can also hold a lamp or an alarm clock.
Curtains or blinds: Privacy is important for guests. Provide curtains or blinds that can block light and ensure a good night’s sleep.
Mirror: A full-length mirror is helpful for guests to check their appearance before leaving the room.
Extra blankets and pillows: Keep extra blankets and pillows in the room so guests can adjust the bedding to their preferences.
Towels and toiletries: Place clean towels and basic toiletries like soap, shampoo, and lotion in the room for your guests’ convenience.
Wifi password and charging station: Provide your guests with the wifi password and create a charging station with a power strip or USB charging ports for their devices.
Conclusion
Remember to personalize the guest room to make it feel welcoming and comfortable, while keeping it clutter-free and functional for your guests.
