If you have a spare room, don’t let it become a store room (or a junk room if we are being honest). Why not transform the spare room into a welcoming guest room that you can be proud of? In this blog post we have put together the things that you need to consider when creating a welcoming guest room in your home.
Lighting
You want to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for guests. This can easily be done with the right lighting. Think about the look that you want to achieve and consider if floor lamps, wall lights, bedside lamps or strip lighting could achieve this. LED lighting is a great way of creating that 5-star hotel experience feel. A dimmer switch for your lighting can be a great touch too.
Wall Colours
A fresh lick of paint can achieve wonders in your home. If your spare room did fall into the trap of becoming a ‘junk room’ then you may have scuffs and marks. A fresh coat of colour gives your guest room the smooth and elegant look you want. Consider the different calming colours and shades of paint available. You might want to create a feature wall with some bold wallpaper too.
Storage
It’s likely that if you have been using your spare room for storage, you will still need storage space for your belongings. You will also want to offer your guests somewhere to store their things too. Under the bed storage is a great option for your belongings. Then maybe a free standing or open clothes rail for your guests. This shows them where to put their items without having to go through your belongings in the cupboards. We have a great selection of bedroom storage solutions we would be happy to show you.
Flooring
Make sure you consider the flooring in the guest bedroom too. The options of hardwood flooring, carpet, LVT and laminate flooring are endless. You just need to consider the look and feel you want to create in your guest room. Why not pop into our showroom to check out some samples for your dream guest room? We can show you the different styles and, based on your tastes, budget and preference, we can recommend the best floor for you.
