Setting up a guest room: Comfort & tips

Do you have an extra room in your house? Why not use it to create a lovely, welcoming guest room to host your loved ones? In this room, comfort and functionality will be essential so that everyone can feel at home. Discover some tips that will help you create the ideal guest room to host family and friends properly.

Why create a guest room?

If you don't live in the same city as your family and friends or if you're used to hosting frequently, having a guest room is very valuable. This room allows you to accommodate your loved ones for a short stay or keep them at home after a night of heavy drinking, for example. This way, you save them accommodation expenses and get to enjoy their company for longer.

If your apartment or house has a room for which you haven't yet chosen a purpose, opting for a guest room can be a great way to use this space. Moreover, creating a guest room requires little budget and equipment. Therefore, the goal will be to create a space that is both comfortable and functional to take care of your guests.

How to create the ideal guest room?

Creating a successful guest room doesn't require much effort. However, the care taken in choosing the decoration and furniture will make all the difference in creating a comfortable and functional environment.

The bed

The choice of bed is of course crucial in a guest room. Our advice? Why not opt for a wooden storage bed? The storage bed is a bed with a gas-lift mechanism that allows you to lift the mattress in one movement and reveal a storage space covering the entire dimension of the bed. In other words, a 160x200 storage bed cm will provide you with a 160x200 cm storage space, and a 140x200 storage bed cm will give you a 140x200 cm storage space.

The storage bed is appreciated because it offers large storage capacity. Thus, the space occupied by your 160x200 storage base cm isn't wasted. You can store suitcases and travel bags, bedding items like duvets and pillows, sports equipment... In short, anything that you only use occasionally can find its place in a storage bed. The bed chosen for your guest room thus serves a dual purpose. If space in the room allows, preferably opt for a 160x200 storage bed, your guests will have more space to sleep, and you'll have more storage space.

There are now models of very high quality with ultra-trendy designs like our BASTIA 160 storage bed for example. You also have the possibility to opt for a children's storage bed 90x200 cm in a guest room.

Other furniture

Once the storage bed is installed, you can furnish the rest of the room according to the remaining space. You can, for example, choose one or two pieces of furniture from the following suggestions:

  • A pair of bedside tables
  • A chest of drawers
  • A wardrobe
  • A dressing table with its chair
  • An armchair
  • A small table with two chairs
  • A desk with its chair

Depending on the atmosphere you want to create, your budget and your desires, you will furnish your room to make it warm and comfortable.

The decoration

Then comes the time to decorate your guest room to give it that comfortable and warm feel. Choose beautiful, soft and comfortable bedding. You can add a duvet or bedspread to provide an extra blanket if needed.

Add lamps to create a more subdued atmosphere in the evening, with a pair of bedside lamps for example. Don't forget to hang curtains which will make all the difference for a cosier atmosphere. You can also use a rug to create a soft and plush bedside area. Finally, wall decorations will also be appropriate with beautiful frames and perhaps a nice mirror.

The small details that make the difference

If you enjoy hosting, certain small details will make you an exceptional host. For this, simply take inspiration from hotel services with, for example, hygiene products, bath linen, etc. You can also opt for a room fragrance that is both pleasant and subtle to suit the majority of people. Put yourself in your guests' shoes to guess what could make all the difference during their stay and thus allow them to feel at home.

Creating a two-in-one guest room

If your guest room is only occupied occasionally, it might be interesting to give this room a dual purpose. You could, for example, make it an office/guest room. This way, you'll have a separate and quiet space to work, which will become a guest room when your visitors are there. Giving the room a dual function will allow you to make use of the space even when your loved ones aren't occupying it.

However, be careful to ensure that the space remains pleasant and that the room isn't too cluttered. Take time to clear away your belongings and tidy up before your friends arrive so they find a pleasant and perfectly organised room.
