When your last child has moved out to begin life as an adult, you’ll be faced with one final challenge—what to do with their old bedroom. Transforming the space into an inviting guest bedroom will ensure every overnight guest has comfortable accommodations, including your children during the holidays. With the following tips from Woods Furniture Gallery in Stephenville, TX, you can use discount furniture to fashion the ultimate guest room.

Here’s how to make the most of your empty nest by preparing your kid’s room for future stays:

• Declutter: If possible, have your child help you clear out and organize the room. Put childhood toys and other keepsakes in plastic containers with lids and store them in your attic or basement. Ask your child what they want to do with old posters, leftover clothing, and other odds and ends, such as donate them to thrift stores or charities.
• Make a Plan: Create a floor plan after determining if any of the current bedroom furniture works for your new guest room. Ensure there’s enough space for extras as well as essentials—including a bed, dresser, nightstand, desk, TV stand, and lounge chair.
• Consider a Theme: Review potential themes for your new guest room, such as a rustic or nautical escape. Other ideas include floral or musical themes, retro rooms dotted with antique pieces, or sleek, contemporary spaces.
• Go Furniture Shopping: Shop for new bedroom furniture if needed, and consider purchasing options that provide more than one function. For example, a high-quality futon doubles as a comfortable couch and an extra bed.
• Add Accents & Amenities: Decorate the guest room based on your theme with wall décor and other accessories such as art, throw pillows, and blankets. Add amenities such as travel-size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and other essential toiletries.
