How To Create a Guest Bedroom

Whether it is hosting relatives for a few weeks, or having friends over for a long weekend, people need somewhere to sleep. Take a look at our tips below and learn how to create a guest bedroom in your home.

Step One – Evaluate Your Space

If you live in a one-bed flat, your accommodation for overnight guests will be different than someone who has a dedicated spare room. If you are tight for space, using a room divider can give your guest a bit more privacy.

Step Two – Evaluate Your Need

Think about how often you will have someone visit. If you will only have guests a few days each year, you can save on space by choosing functional furniture. Choose a fold out sofa bed, and some cube storage units that you can use when your guest leaves.

Step Three – Evaluate Their Needs

Once you’ve sorted the bed and bedding, the most important thing your guest needs is storage. This will help them to feel more comfortable, and it will also help you feel less stressed. No more tripping over their belongings! A 2-tier storage unit can also function as a bedside table.

Step Four – Make It Beautiful

If you are creating a permanent spare bedroom, it is worth going the extra mile to make it look nice. Give it some new paint or wallpaper and put up some shelves.

Step Five – Don’t Break the Bank

There are many ways to save money when making a guest bedroom. One great tip is to buy second-hand tables and chairs. You can even upgrade the table legs to match the rest of your furniture.

Finally… Don’t Panic!

Having someone stay in your home can feel very stressful, but they won’t expect to walk into a stately home! Remember the purpose of the visit – they want to spend time with you, not with your belongings.
