Looking for Home Decor ideas for the guest room?
If you frequently entertain overnight guests – or you’re planning to do so – the way you furnish your spare bedroom makes a definite difference. The vibe should be inviting enough to allow your friends and family to feel at home, yet also a bit indulgent, like being in on a vacation.
The right style and color palette for the perfect guest room are up for debate – you can really go with whatever you prefer. However, the furniture and fine furnishings necessary to create an attractive, welcoming and comfortable space are not in question. Here are home décor essentials to turn your spare bedroom into guest retreat.
Cozy Bed
Don’t skimp on the bed for your guest room – invest in a high-quality wood or upholstered headboard, a good mattress and soft, breathable bedding. Add plenty of throw pillows for a more luxurious home décor look.
Window Coverings
Your guests need privacy, and they’ll appreciate being in control of how much sun shines through the windows in the morning. Plus, the right window coverings enhance the look and feel of the space.
Clothing Storage
No one likes living out of their luggage, so make sure your spare bedroom has a dresser or storage trunk. And if the room doesn’t have a closet, add an armoire to allow your guests to hang up their clothes.
Nightstand
A bedside table is a nice touch, as guests need a place to stash their phone that’s in easy reach. Don’t forget to add a table lamp for reading in bed and, perhaps, a few books or magazines.
Comfortable Seating
Your guests may not want to spend all of their spare time sitting in bed, so provide a plush seat. Or, if you have the space, look for a loveseat or chaise that complements your home décor.
A Wall Mirror
Who doesn’t look in the mirror after getting dressed? Include a wall mirror in your home décor plans, and you’re guests will be happy. If possible, go with a full-length mirror, and make sure the area you hang it has adequate lighting.
Bar Cart
If you want to be the host with the most, get a bar cart for your guest room. You don’t have to stock it with liquor for a nightcap – guests also love having a ready source of bottled water or canned beverages.
