With the holidays right around the corner, you may be planning celebrations with guests from out of town. When it comes to housing friends or family members, you want to offer welcoming accommodations. This entails designing a comfortable guest bedroom. Here are a few tips to help you select the best bedroom furniture and other amenities so your visitors will feel at home. 

3 Tips for Designing a Cozy Guest Bedroom

1. Consider Bed Size & Mattress Firmness

Bed size is a major consideration when setting up your guest room. To ensure you can accommodate couples as well as single visitors, a king or queen size bed is recommended to ensure there is ample room for stretching out.

You’ll need to consider mattress firmness. Choose a mattress with midrange firmness (5 or 6 on the firmness scale) to meet everyone’s needs. 

2. Create an Area for Lounging

In addition to choosing a bed, you also want to designate a space in the room for lounging and relaxing. Add a love seat and table to provide comfort as well as functionality.

You can also provide other amenities, such as reading materials like books and magazines, so your guest can occupy their time with light reading while staying in your home. 

3. Style the Space

In addition to comfort, the look of the guest bedroom also makes an impact on visitors. Colorful wall hangings and artwork personalize the space and break up neutral wall colors.

If your guest bedroom is on the smaller side, hanging mirrors can make it look bigger. Mirrors can also brighten up the space by reflecting light. Houseplants and flowers such as jade plants, African violets, and aloe are ideal since they’re low maintenance.
