3 Tips for Creating a Welcoming Guest Room

One of the many things your guests will remember after leaving your home is the experience they had with the guest room. Needless to say, good guest room design is what makes a visitor feel welcome and at ease, making the moments shared there memorable and meaningful. Creating a welcoming guest room requires you to take into consideration the nitty-gritty of what makes a space (think of the bedroom) most comfortable.

Read on to see how you can create a peaceful guest-ready space:

Choose Serene Colors

The colors will be the first thing your guests notice when they enter the guest room, a reason to use caution when picking colors. Here, experts recommend that you go for colors that are universally soothing. An ideal choice of colors may include light and dark neutrals, soft pinks and greens, or enduring navy and brown.

Colors go a long way in setting the mood for a room and also act as a canvas for the decor therein. Aim to create a feeling of tranquility and relaxation in the guest room to ensure your visitors feel at home and find sleep with ease.

Prioritize Ample and Cozy Seating Options

Extra seating not only provides space for your guests to relax but also helps to add more texture to a design. You can always pile fluffy pillows and cushions on the window seating or use poufs to add an extra layer of seating. And if you have a spare corner, why not create a reading nook for your guests to enjoy a book and relax?

For the bed, make sure the blankets, sheets, and pillows are warm and cozy for maximum comfort. Remember to go with washable and manmade materials to make cleaning easier. The idea here is to make your guests feel as comfortable as possible as they snuggle in for a good night's sleep.

Focus on Window Lights

When it comes to the windows, you need to ensure they allow natural lighting to shine in. You can dress them in a light material, and preferably one that flows freely to add to the relaxing vibe. The material of choice should cover the windows at night to ensure privacy and security for your guests.

Don't forget to add a small hook to the sides of the pane to make it possible to hang the curtains during the day.
