How to Create a Welcoming Guest Bedroom

November 25, 2022 · In: At Home

Your guest bedroom can easily impress your guests and make them feel comfortable in your home. You can create a welcoming guest bedroom with just a few key steps. When your guests arrive, they will notice the effort you put into creating a space they enjoy spending time in. Let’s look at the best ways to transform your guest bedroom. 

Leave enough storage space

When your guests arrive, they will need some storage space. They will need a place to leave their clothes and other personal items. That is much easier than having your guests use their suitcases as a closet while visiting. They’ll feel more welcome and at home when they have a designated place for all their items. Another advantage is that a closet or drawers will fill the space in your guest bedroom. You can leave some storage space available in the bathroom, too. Leave some counter space empty so they can have enough room for their toiletries. 

Add some reading material

It’s always nice to have some reading material before going to bed. However, when visiting friends and family, we can forget to bring the book we are currently reading with us. You can add books and magazines so your guests have something to do when you aren’t spending time together. Another pro is that you can decorate and fill the space in the guest bedroom with books. It will make the room look more cozy and welcoming.

Purchase new linens to create a welcoming guest bedroom

The best way to make your guest bedroom inviting and cozy is to add new linens. These can make the biggest difference in the guest bedroom. Find a set that will match the style of the room. If you are unsure which to choose, you can always choose neutral, warm colors. A nice set of bed linens in warm colors can make any room look fabulous and comfortable. But don’t stop there. Provide your guests with towels they can use during their stay. Remember to leave enough pillows and blankets for your guests. If you can, put drapes on the walls. They will make the space feel much warmer and cozier. 

Decorate the room

Creating the perfect guest bedroom means picking the right décor items. The best option for the guest bedroom is something neutral that anyone will like. That will also match the rest of your home, too. Good lighting can go a long way in any space, including the guest bedroom. Add lots of greenery to make the room feel cozy and comfortable. If unsure where to begin, you can add a mirror and a simple clock. Mirrors are essential when it comes to interior design. They can help make the space feel bigger and brighter than it is. A rug can make your guest bedroom look even better. 

Keep it clutter-free

When you don’t use the guest bedroom for a while, it can accidentally turn into a storage room. However, this can be bad for a couple of reasons. If you don’t designate a place for your things, you risk not having a place to put them later. That can make it challenging to make your guest bedroom look the way it should. When you use the guest bedroom as a storage room, you will have to make a lot of effort to get it organized and clean. Investing in self-storage is a simple and affordable way to keep your home organized. When you keep your home clean and decluttered, you prevent the guest bedroom from being disorganized. This way, it will always be ready for guests to arrive.

Details make the biggest difference

If you want to create a welcoming guest bedroom, remember that minor details can have the most significant impact. There are a couple of things you can change and add to your guest bedroom that will make them feel more welcome. Start by creating a toiletry basket. Fill it with a couple of necessary items for everyday use, such as shampoo and a toothbrush. Besides this, you can gather a couple of your guests’ favorite snacks and add them to the bedroom before they arrive. A pair of slippers and a bathrobe will be highly appreciated by your guests, too. You will make your home feel like a luxurious hotel just by spending a little money. 

Create a sitting area

One of the most high-effort things you can do is to create a separate sitting area in the guest bedroom. That will help fill the room without adding clutter and make it look better. Your guests will have a place to sit and relax if they want to. If they have to work or study during their stay, this can help them immensely. They’ll be able to focus without any distractions. You can add a coffee table to match the room, too. 

Provide useful info

Another thing your guests will appreciate is your providing them with valuable pamphlets. Put a couple of these on the night table beside a reading lamp. That can help them get familiar with your neighborhood. If your guests travel far away, they will appreciate this even more. It might even give them an idea of what they’d like to do and see during their stay. Leave a note with the WiFi password so they can access it easily.

You can easily create the guest bedroom you want when you keep it clutter-free and organized. With new linens and refreshed décor items, your guest bedroom will impress just about anyone. Once you combine all this advice, your guests will count the days until they revisit your home.
