How to Create the Ultimate Guest Room Retreat

Hello Design Lovers, transforming your spare room into a cozy guest room retreat is easier than you think! You can make your guests feel right at home with the right essentials and thoughtful touches. Here’s how to set up a space they’ll love:

Set the Mood with Paint and Curtains

Choose soft, neutral paint colors like warm grays, beiges, or sage green to create a calming atmosphere. We used Benjamin Moore Horizon with classic white trim in this room for a versatile and serene backdrop.

Finish the look with full-length linen blackout curtains on a beautiful rod. Not only do they elevate the space, but they also ensure your guests get restful sleep at any time of day.

Create a Comfortable Bed Setup

The bed is the centerpiece of any guest room. Opt for a fully upholstered bed to provide both style and comfort. Make sure to offer extra pillows and blankets nearby. Integrated storage, like a hidden drawer, is a great feature—allowing guests to access whatever they need easily.

Give your guests a hotel-like experience with crisp sheets, a cozy duvet, and extra throws for warmth. The goal is to create a space where they can relax and feel pampered.

Add Stylish and Functional Furniture

Bedside chests with table lamps provide storage and cozy lighting for evening reading. Adding phone chargers ensures convenience—those little details make all the difference.

Include Personal Touches & Thoughtful Amenities

Incorporate meaningful artwork, like a framed photo or print, to bring warmth and personality to the room. A lounge chair or small stool is another thoughtful addition, giving guests a place to sit and unwind.

Take your guest room to the next level with a few special touches. A bowl of chocolates, fresh flowers, and a water carafe on the nightstand go a long way in making your guests feel welcome and cared for.

Provide Storage Space

If your guests are staying for a few days, make sure they have room to unpack. A chest of drawers or a wardrobe will keep things tidy and make them feel at home. A large mirror is another great addition, helping guests get ready with ease.
