If you love to play host, often have guests to stay and fancy yourself as a bit of an amateur hotelier, then you'll want to know exactly how to avoid the most common guest bedroom design mistakes.
When coming with your perfect sleeping space for visitors, you'll be sure to come across plenty of bedroom ideas, but knowing how to turn these into your ideal guest bedroom ideas and not falling foul of common mistakes, is another game altogether.
A guest bedroom should be a welcoming and restful space for visiting family and friends to retreat to and relax in, so you want to know that the room you are creating will tick all their boxes.
You might have a guest bedroom that also serves as a home office or snug, so making sure the space is both comfortable and practical is hugely important.
Martin Waller, Founder of Andrew Martin (opens in new tab), says ‘A guest bedroom should feel like a home away from home for those visiting. On one hand comfort and practicality should be a priority; on the other, a chance to be a little more adventurous with pattern and colour.’
Guest bedroom design mistakes
No matter what the size of your room, avoiding these guest bedroom design mistakes will ensure a space that will receive rave reviews from visiting friends and family.
1. Not providing guests with cosy bedding
A well dressed bed will lure your visitors to their slumber and give your room a boutique-hotel vibe. Layer up throws and blankets and opt for statement cushions as a finishing touch. If it's a particularly cold season, keep extra blankets in a basket nearby so guests can add more layers if they feel chilly.
You want to know your guests are in for a comfortable nights sleep so not only do you want the bed to look good, but feel good too. Knowing which are the best mattresses to buy will ensure your visitors will be lulled to sleep in an instant.
2. Forgetting the addition of an armchair
An armchair in your guest bedroom provides a space not only for reading, but also a place to keep clothes too. Often a bulky wardrobe isn't needed in a spare room (unless you have guests that tend to stay for extended lengths of time), so an occasional chair could be the space-saving answer you are looking for.
