Guest Room Decoration

Coming is coming and you need a place for them to sleep. A guest room doesn’t have to be a last minute thought. Plan your guest room and be prepared for anyone who wants to stay.

Before you start designing your guest room you want to take a look at what you already have. What size bed do you want to place in your guest room; queen, full, or two twin beds. Twins beds are a great idea if you have a teenager who has friends staying over often. Depending on the room, you will need to place a dresser somewhere in the room to hold clothing. You may want to consider adding a chair to sit down in so they can read before turning in for the night.

Always place your guest room as close to the bathroom as you can. This will be beneficial if your guests need to get up in the middle of the night.

Decorating your guest room will be easy to do just make sure that it is welcoming. You will need fresh flowers on the dresser and pastel colored comforters, linens, and curtains in the room.

You will also want to add an area rug to the guest room. If the guest room also has a bath you want to combine the look and feel of the bath and bedroom. Place the same area rug in the bathroom as you do in the bathroom.

Now it’s time to add those personal touches like scented candles or potpourri. This will give the room a warm and inviting smell. Place to scented candles and potpourri on a dresser but not near the bed.

Make sure you include adequate storage space in your guest room. A dresser or small three drawer chest will give your guests a place to store their clothing. Make sure a mirror is available in the bedroom if a bathroom is not next door. This will give female visitors a place to put on makeup and get dressed in the mornings.

Keep small comforts in mind when designing your guest room. Add an extra blanket in case your guests get cold during the night. Make sure there are clean towels and linens that are easily accessible to your guests. Add soft, comfortable pillows to the bed, and turn the mattress from time to time to keep it soft. Add artwork and use soothing colors to make the space welcoming. Remember to incorporate soft area rugs and scented candles and your space will be inviting for guests.
