Hello Lovelies,
As someone who loves hosting weekend guests, I’ve learned a few things about creating a welcoming guest bedroom. I’m excited to share my top 10 guest bedroom ideas to make every stay memorable with you, each designed to make your guests’ stay as memorable as possible.
Crafting a calming retreat goes beyond just offering a bed and linens. Consider adding special touches that enhance the space to make your guests feel at ease. With these ideas for guest rooms, you can welcome your friends and family in a way that helps them feel right at home.
Choose Comfortable Bedding
The most important feature is providing them with comfortable bedding.
Indulge your guests with the luxury of comfortable bedding. A plethora of fluffy pillows, a cotton blanket under a cotton quilt, and a duvet cover for chillier nights will make them feel like they are staying in a high-end hotel.
Provide Refreshments
Ensure your guests feel cared for by providing refreshments within easy reach. A carafe, glasses, and small packages of crackers or cookies for midnight munchies are a thoughtful touch that will keep them from wandering around trying to find the kitchen in the middle of the night. This lovely cut glass carafe will add something special to your guest bedroom.
Leave a Selection of Magazines
With reading material on the bedside table, the space will feel more like home. They will appreciate having a few ways to entertain themselves while relaxing or having downtime.
Share Your Home’s Highlights
Leave a list of helpful details about your home in your guest bedroom. Point them to the stash of extra supplies and toiletries, and don’t forget Wi-Fi passwords and instructions for your TV.
Illuminate the Space
Provide a lamp next to the bed for convenience. You don’t want your guests stumbling around to find the bathroom in the middle of the night. The soft ambient light eliminates the need for harsh overhead life if they need it. Perhaps, something like this one. It also comes in an amazing cobalt blue, if it fits your color scheme.
Watch the Weather
Make your guest bedroom a cozy retreat by adding some thoughtful touches! A cool bedside fan in the summer and extra blankets for chilly nights can help your visitors feel right at home. It’s all about keeping them comfortable and happy! Having an extra umbrella or two will make them happy during rainy weather.
Provide Essential Must-Haves
Set out a delightful assortment of their favorite soaps, lotions, and shampoos in the bath and stock it with a cozy set of towels. If a private bathroom isn’t available, leaving a set of towels in the guest room will make their stay extra special. Everything is readily available, eliminating the need for them to ask for necessities.
Give Them Some Space
If your room has closet space, ensure it comes with cozy hangers and a full-length mirror. A full-length mirror is a must-have; it’s perfect for guests who like to check their entire look before stepping out! If there isn’t a closet available, no worries! You can easily add hooks on the door’s back or set up a stylish clothing rack. Your guests will appreciate the thoughtful touches!
Provide a Luggage Rack and Desk
Enhance your guests’ comfort by providing a foldable luggage rack like this one that even has a rack below for shoes. This thoughtful addition will help keep the space organized and clutter-free. If space allows, consider adding a comfortable desk. This will create an inviting area for your guests to work, read, or relax, making their stay more enjoyable and accommodating.
Add Ambience
Who doesn’t love the scent of perfumed air as they walk into a space? For your guests’ arrival, place a candle or two with a flickering flame burning in the guest room. A display of fresh flowers matching your guest room decor will add charm and personality. Pick up a bouquet at your local flower shop or create one.
…And here’s a few more guest bedroom ideas. Of course, add your stylish decorative touches to complete the picture, including drapes or blinds for privacy. Blackout blinds with sheer curtains behind allow guests control over the light in the room.
