If you have a spare room in your house and
you’re thinking of turning it into a guest room, there are a few different
things to think about. Don’t just throw a bed in there and think that it’s all
that’s needed, but plan your furniture and decorations for your guest’s
ultimate comfort.
The first thing to think about is obviously
the bed. How big is the room? Would you go for a single or double bed, or
perhaps a sofa bed? If you have a slightly smaller room a day bed is the
perfect choice. You can make the bed so that it works as a sofa during day
time, and it’s easy to turn into a single or double bed in time for bedtime.
This one from the Hemnes
collection at IKEA would be my choice as it is pretty and neutral – meaning
it would go with most interior styles. The two spacious drawers will also work
as a place for extra blankets and pillows.
Your guest will definitely need a bedside
table for their belongings. There’s nothing more annoying than having to put
fragile items such as glasses or a mobile phone on the floor, plus – a bedside
table with drawers is perfect for unpacking clothes in. This pretty white
wooden beach house bedside
chest can be found at Wren Living.
Make sure to have a lamp on your guestroom
bedside table. Remember that just because you think it’s bedtime, your guest
might not agree – and he or she might want to stay awake for a little bit
longer reading a book in bed.
Some kind of chair would be good for your
guest to put their clothes on.
For
the morning when your guest wants to get ready for the day, it’s great to have
a dressing table with an accompanying mirror. This particular dressing table
with a matching stool is from Dunelm
