Designing an Amazing Guest Room
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, you know how challenging it is to prepare a successful event. Beyond the cooking (oh the cooking…), you want to create a welcoming environment for friends and family. What better way to make people feel at home than offer a cozy guest room? If your relatives are coming from out of town, it makes more sense for them to stay overnight than spend money on a hotel room. Building a custom home allows you to design the ideal guest room for future holidays. If you’ve been wondering how to decorate a guest room, you’ve come to the right place.
Resting easier
Nobody likes waking up to noise in the living room at the crack of dawn–especially relatives. Because everyone has different sleeping habits, it’s best to keep the guest room away from busy living or kitchen areas. Ideally, your guests should feel like they’re staying at a nice resort. A little bit of solitude goes a long way in creating that illusion.
The bed matters
Blow your guests away with the best night of sleep they’ve ever had. Start by piling on beautiful linens. Choose neutral colors and differing patterns that create a welcoming atmosphere. You’ll want to make sure your pillows are plentiful and comfortable. Along the same lines, choose a puffy comforter that you can’t help but jump onto. The goal is to create a bed you’d love to sneak off to yourself.
Open to the outdoors
Although guest room interior design is important, so is outdoor access. This Thanksgiving might be cold, but you never know what the weather will bring in Minnesota. A small patio area can give your guests some breathing room to relax. If there’s room, include a small table and seating area so your visitors can enjoy a good book along with some fresh air. As with other outdoor amenities, this small addition can add plenty of value to your home.
Care about clothes
You can have the nicest guest room with the comfiest bed, but what if your guests have nowhere to put their clothes? Rather than make them climb over mountains of luggage, design a room with ample closet space. Place large dressers in the room to make your guests really feel at home. When your guests have somewhere to put their belongings, they feel like they belong themselves.
Holidays can be a stressful time, but if you’re prepared to host them, it can be immensely rewarding. Treat your friends and family to an experience they’ll never forget. Design your home with their comfort in mind.
