Five Tips to Creating the Perfect Guest Room

My oldest son is away at college, so we decided to turn his room into the new guest room. It’s the biggest bedroom in the house, with it’s own bathroom. It kind of made sense.

I spent a long time decided on some essentials I thought a guest room should have.

We created some floating shelves and a desk out of a little nook.


Here are 5 Ways to Create the Perfect Guest Room:
1. Provide plenty of fluffy towels and toiletries!

If you have a closet in your guest room, or guest bath — a great idea is to label items your guests might need and stock them in a pleasing manner like this Guest Room Closet at Natalme.

2. Create a tray or cart of little snacks and treats for your treats during their stay. This cart idea is from A Beautiful Mess.

And this idea is from Sunset.

3. Provide a lot of fluffy pillows for comfort. And even create or purchase a special theme pillow to let your guest know how excited you are to have them stay in your home. This pillow is from Scoutmob.

4. Add a little workspace for Your Guests.

We created floating shelves and a desk in a little nook. Here’s a craft room closet that Traci from Beneath My Heart created in her closet.

5. Create a little charging station for your guests.  Here’s a little charging station I made for our tween/tween bedroom makeover. You can create something similar so easily with an old drawer or crate. Your guests will love being able to charge all of their electronic devices — from ipads, iphones to kindles, nooks and so forth!
