How To Create An Inviting Guest Room

 How do you make sure your guests feel welcome and comfortable? Here are her top five tips:
Provide a good bed.

Whether you offer a traditional bed, daybed, sleeper sofa or futon, make sure it is comfortable and in good condition and supply options for pillows and blankets. Today, many people opt to use air mattresses as beds so guests can adjust the firmness to their liking. Air mattresses are also a good choice if you have limited space since they can be stored in a closet.

Supply sufficient lighting.

Lighting is critical in a guest room, since people with different nighttime routines may share it. So it’s important to provide individual light sources that can be turned on and off from each side of the bed. Swing-arm lamps mounted next to, rather than directly over the bed, are a good choice as they minimize brightness for the early-to-bed sleeper and provide enough light for the night owl who likes to stay up and read.
Don’t overlook window coverings.

Even if your guest room has a beautiful view, it still needs window coverings. Blinds or draperies enable your guest to get some privacy and control the amount of light that comes into the room. Window coverings can also help to control room temperature.
Offer a comfortable seat.

Placing a chair in the guest room invites guests to rest, read or write. An overstuffed armchair with an ottoman is a good choice, especially if the ottoman opens to provide additional storage for pillows and blankets.
Use traditional color pairings.

The colors you choose to use in a guest room can make a big difference in how a room feels. Reds are powerful…so less is best and use them in combination with white or a soft neutral. Blues are relaxing and may be used in a variety of tones and hues without overtaking a room. Rather than jarring the senses with experimental color combinations, use traditional color pairings that are comfortable and welcoming.
Whether you do your decorating yourself or work with a design professional, ultimately, it is being in your company that will leave your guests with good memories.
