The guest bedroom: 5 suggestions on how to furnish it intelligently and stylishly
The guest bedroom is a very important space in every home and needs to be welcoming for your visitors. Given this, you need to ensure the guest bedroom's furnishings are both comfortable and functional. Let's check out 5 creative ideas for furnishing your guest room stylishly.
1 - Sofa bed and desk
A smart way to maximize space in your guest room is to combine the practicality of a sofa bed with the functionality of a desk.
This solution is ideal for those who want to give guests a place to stay, but to retain the possibility of using the room as an office when there are no visitors to host.
2 - Space-saving combos
Space-saving combos are the ideal solution for those who want to optimize every square centimeter of the guest room, especially if it's small.
One of the most effective space-saving strategies is the use of transformable or multi-functional furniture, such as retractable desks (which can be stored in the bed frame when not in use).
3 - A storage bed
Placing a storage bed in your guest bedroom is a brilliant idea which will combine comfort and functionality, especially in spaces where every centimeter counts.
This type of bed not only offers a cozy spot to sleep on, but has a large storage space under the mattress which is ideal for storing bedding, pillows, blankets or suitcases (and keeping the surroundings clutter-free).
4 - Color combinations
Pay attention to the color combinations you use when painting and decorating a guest room, as colors have the power to influence one's mood and perception of space.
For an calming effect, we recommend opting for neutral shades such as beige, light gray or white. These colors create a "blank canvas" that lends itself to the addition of bolder splashes of color brought in with items like pillows, blankets, rugs or paintings.
5 - Closet with a foldaway bed
The pictured closet has a foldaway bed which will maximize space while, at the same time, providing the comfort of having a handy storage furnishing.
This configuration is especially useful in small apartments or homes where the guest room also serves as an office, playroom, or study.
Furnishing the guest room stylishly does not necessarily having to spend a lot of money or embarking on major restructuring projects. Using these five creative ideas, you can transform any space into a welcoming area for your friends, relatives and other over-night visitors.
