A Pampered Guest
Bedroom Decorating Idea
A bedroom decorating idea for your visiting overnight guests is to pamper them with a serene, comfortable setting and thoughtful amenities.
What a great compliment to receive when your overnight guest sleeps in because they never felt so comfortable in a long time. That happened to me once when a friend of my mother-in-law spent a week with us. I thought wow, that’s cool.
Starting with a comfortable mattress, even if you are using a sofa bed, be sure that it is nice to sleep on.
Dress the bed the way you might expect to find at a luxury hotel, in layers of really nice and beautiful fresh linens, extra blankets and sleeping pillows.
Put a bedside table in easy access to hold things like a clock, fresh flowers, drinking glasses with a pitcher of water or bottled mineral water.
A simple bedroom decorating idea to tell your guests how much you care is to bring in homey touches and a selection of their favorite magazines and authors, and provide good lighting to read by.
If the size of the room permits, create a cozy reading nook. Be sure to include a chair with a plush lap throw, the proper reading lamp and a small table, and possibly an electric kettle with a basket of teas.
Another consideration is to provide storage for your guest. A place for unpacking, and offer closet space with hangers to be able to hang clothes and drawer space to put folded clothing away, a place for shoes and their suitcase.
The guest room often serves as something else. If your guest room is a dual purpose, a home office or hobby room, leave the room uncluttered when your guests arrive so they have a space of their own during their stay. This will establish some privacy for them to feel at home.
If you are storing things in the closet or drawers of this room, organize the things in boxes or hang them in garment bags to keep it tidy. This may be out of season storage space anyway so it would not be a bad idea even if you aren’t expecting guests!
A guest bedroom decorating idea to consider is to set out a basket of toiletries with special soaps, thick towels and to keep extra blankets and pillows readily available.
Keep the guest room (or the room that you’re designating for your guests) restful and comforting with a relaxed ambience but reflective of your style and hospitality.
The best way to know how your guests will feel is by spending a night in the room.
That way you know your guests will leave your home feeling relaxed and well looked after.
