Maximize space and storage
Keep your guest room free of clutter to ensure your visitors feel comfortable. If space is tight, provide ample storage solutions to stow your personal items when guests arrive. A great option is a clothes rack, like the Sonoma 2 Drawer Clothes Rack, which adds both style and functionality. This allows your guests to easily access their clothes without disturbing your stored items. Additionally, consider using storage ottomans that double as seating and hidden storage. Keeping surfaces clear ensures your guests have plenty of space for their personal belongings and luggage.
Room Dividers
If you're short on space but want to offer guests some privacy, consider investing in a stylish screen divider. These screens can effectively separate guest room space into distinct zones, such as between a makeup area and sleeping area, without the need for a solid wall. One great option is the Elegance Screen. Each panel features elegant, slatted timber and is finished with crisp white panelling. This design not only enhances privacy but also provides a practical solution for guests to hang their lightweight clothing. The screen combines functionality with sophisticated style, making it a perfect addition to any space in need of a chic partition.
Sleep tight
The bed is central to any guest's experience, as a good night’s sleep is priceless. Select a stylish bed that complements your room’s theme and pair it with a comfortable, supportive mattress. If space is limited, consider a sofa bed or futon that serves as a sofa by day and a cozy bed by night. For an extra touch of comfort, spritz a pillow mist to keep the bed feeling fresh and inviting.
Lighten up
An easy-to-reach bedside lamp and side table are essential for any guest room. You don’t want your guest stumbling in the dark trying to find the light switch. Consider placing a stylish lamp, like the Macalister table lamp, next to the bed this stylish Macalister Lamp features a contemporary design in a combination of metal and wood for a modern look. This not only provides convenient lighting but also creates a cozy spot for your guests to enjoy some quiet reading before bedtime.
Accessorise with style
Cushions and rugs are an excellent way to enhance the warmth and comfort of your guest room. Consider the Remi Rug, which features with a zigzag tufted pattern, is as soft on the eyes as it is to touch. Crafted from wool with a cotton backing, results in a high quality and durable rug that is sure to last.
Creature comforts
To ensure a comfortable stay, place a glass of water and some snacks like wrapped treats, fresh fruit, or cookies in the guest room. A small coffee pot or water heater with instant cider, tea, coffee, creamer, and sugar adds an extra touch of hospitality. Fresh cut flowers can also brighten the room and make your guests feel welcome. These thoughtful details allow your guests to enjoy a snack or a drink without needing to venture into the kitchen late at night.
