Decorating a Bedroom for Your Guests

It’s summertime, which probably means you’ll have friends or family stay over as guests at least a few times! We also have the holidays to look forward to in the coming months. You definitely want to make sure family members and friends are comfortable during their stay, but you probably don’t want to spend a ton of money on furniture that won’t be used daily. You can make the room feel like a retreat without the extra cash. We’ve put together a few quick and easy tips for decorating your guest room!

Keep it Comfy

A thick, plush comforter and plenty of pillows to sink into will make all the difference in your guest room. A good night’s sleep is the goal, after all! A side table with a few neatly organized magazines or books will help your guests feel right at home, especially if they’re having trouble falling asleep. Make sure to place a lamp on the bedside table as well! Fill a cabinet or basket with towels and extra blankets, and make sure your guests know where to find anything else necessary to freshen up.

Think Functionality

Make sure you place a mirror somewhere in the room, whether it’s attached to a dresser or hanging on the wall. Our Manhattan Dresser and Mirror is a stunning choice. You can even purchase cute, decorating mirrors in a variety of designs, and use them to breathe life into the room. Make sure the curtains in the room are dark enough to keep sunlight out to a comfortable degree when pulled shut. You can get creative with patterns though! This is a home away from home—make the stay memorable.

Make it Unique

If you’re expecting guests, pick up some fresh-cut flowers to place in a vase in the room. Place a few candles on the dresser or bedside table to help guests relax, and even place a photo or two in the room of some time you’ve spent together in the past. Give your guest room a theme or fun color scheme, if you’d like, that doesn’t match the rest of the house at all! It’ll make the area feel even more like a getaway for whoever is staying over.
