Home Guest Room Ideas

If you like to entertain and have guests sleeping over, you’ll want a spare guest room in your home. It will come in handy when the parties last longer than you planned or when you have friends and family members spending the night. Of course, you want your guests to feel at home, which means your spare room will need a beauty treatment.

A guest room facelift is not that difficult to pull off. Let the idea of your own comfort guide you through the most important decisions, and follow some of our tips.

Provide a Good Night’s Sleep

Good Night’s Sleep

While a guest room can be updated without significant investments, you can’t avoid spending money on a good mattress if you don’t have one already. This is imperative for your guest’s comfort, so you don’t want to skimp on it. Fortunately, it’s possible to get the best of both worlds and buy an affordable and supportive mattress. It’s particularly convenient to get a hybrid mattress that provides motion isolation, support, softness, and cooling features.

Ensure There Is Enough Storage Space

Even if the guests are staying just for one night, they will probably want to unpack some of their things and organize them. When they’re staying for a couple of days, this is even more important. Make sure they don’t have to rifle through their suitcases every morning when they want to get dressed. If you don’t have a dedicated closet, a small drawer chest should be enough. You can also use a movable clothing rack that can be dismantled after your guests’ stay.

Add a Nightstand

Nightstand

Like most of us, you probably like to have a place to put your glasses, book, or phone when you go to sleep. Give your guests that option, too, by including a bedside table. This is a simple and affordable update that really makes a difference. You can get a cheap and stylish nightstand in any furniture store, or you can even choose to go the DIY route. Depending on the room’s design, you can go with a rustic tree stump, upcycled suitcase, or a tray table.

Layer the Lighting

Speaking of the nightstand, you know what a perfect thing to keep there is? A table lamp, so your guests can read or go to sleep without having to get up to turn off the light. Wall sconces are also a good idea if you don’t have enough space for a table lamp. Other than being convenient, this will also give the room a pleasant ambiance. Scented candles can also provide interesting lighting and serve as a form of aromatherapy.

Play with Textures

Textures

This is a trick used in a lot of hotel rooms. The idea is to include many different materials and throw pillows to make the room feel cozier. An additional quilt at the foot of the bed will look nice and be useful. Also, you want your guests to have a warm and fuzzy spot to put their feet on when they get up from the bed, so make sure you put on an area rug on both sides of the bed.

Beautify

Accessorizing is a huge part of designing any interior, including the guest room. This may not be a part of the house that will often be used, but it needs to look amazing when it is.

Start with the permanent setting, which can include artwork, photographs, and memorabilia. Then, when you have someone coming over, you can add some details, such as a vase with fresh flowers.

Greenery

Greenery

Houseplants have the superpowers of boosting mood, improving sleep, and creating a fantastic atmosphere. Some of the best plants that can purify the air in a room and create a sleep-inducing environment are lavender, lady palm, rubber plant, snake plant, and dracaena. Additionally, you can use stylish pots for some extra accessorizing.

Full Service

While you want your guests to feel at home, you also want to provide them with whatever they might need and make them feel welcome. Travel-size toiletries, for example, are a little detail that goes a long way here. Guests who forget something important, such as shampoo or toothpaste, won’t have to feel uncomfortable and ask to use yours. Also, you can put some magazines or books by the bed if they feel bored or unable to fall asleep.

These tips will help you create the ideal guest room retreat for your friends or family members spending the night. Of course, you can always ask your guests whether they have some special requests or habits that could affect your design decisions. These ideas should serve as something that will spark your imagination and get you started. The rest is up to you.
