How To Fix Up A Guest Bedroom: A "Home Away From Home"

We’ve all traveled and been to those hotels that seem to be just average and feel like there was something missing. This is usually due to the details involved which can make all the difference in an experience and whether you are truly comfortable or not. By keeping this in mind, you’ll be able to go the extra mile for your own guests no matter how long they stay. Here are a few ideas on how to fix up a guest bedroom to make it a "home away from home" for your company.

1. Create Coziness

Having a cozy bedroom can be created with cozy bedding. You can use any combination of sheets and bedspreads and even a mattress cover that can eliminate any sleeping pressure points by adding extra padding. With pillows, there are many choices available which is why you should consider a few more pillows to be available. You never know if a guest loves to sleep with more than the one or two they already have.

If you want, you can also incorporate bedding that is layered. This will allow your guests to choose their own coziness as they sleep, whether they like to stay warm and cozy with all of the covers or decide to remove everything but the draw sheet. While deciding on the bedding, take into account the use of a throw, quality sheets, and a cozy blanket or down covers that will provide an unbeatable level of comfort.

2. Bring in a Comfortable Platform Bed

When you bring in a platform bed you incorporate smooth designs that easily merge with a room’s décor without taking much space. The bed frame provides a spacious look and eliminates the feeling of being cramped up while lying down. With your platform bed, you are also able to create an open feeling in the guest room regardless of its size. However, for guest rooms that are small, you can have the bed designed with drawers that can provide additional space to store clothes.

3. Maintain a Spotless Guest Room

You should expect guests to bring plenty of things as they visit. This is why you should not let them feel like the room is unusable. To make your room completely usable, the bedroom needs to be spotless and with no evident clutter. This can be accomplished by concentrating on furniture that provides a purpose, such as drawer space, dresser space, or even a bench at the foot of the bed.

4. Keep Small Details in Mind

Besides the major details that go into a bedroom to make it unforgettable, you should also consider the smaller details. Small details can also make a big difference. The details include allowing guests to easily plug in their electronic devices and cell phones. Have your wall outlets easily accessible so your guests don’t have to search for them or have the bedside table next to an outlet or move the bed next to one. If you provide Wi-Fi, then having the password readily available to connect to your network will prevent you from having to try to recall it. You can have the log-on information in a convenient place such as hanging on a wall or on the dresser.

5. Go the Extra Mile

Having your guests feel like family is one thing, but having them feel at home is another. You can make their visit much more personal by providing presents. This could involve toiletries that would be provided like if they had stayed at a resort. A few of these presents could involve shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste, soap, and even an extra toothbrush. These are all great because you never know if the guests were in a hurry and may have forgotten an item or two while packing. Besides toiletries, you can also provide a snack basket for them to enjoy just in case of any uncomfortable feelings of rummaging through the pantry. Providing candles with scented aromas is also great and allows for relaxation as it burns.

With these tips at hand, your guest bedroom will become an unforgettable experience. The room will be loved by all who stay in it and your guests will treasure the hard work and dedication that was put into it.
