“Every house guest brings you happiness. Some when they arrive, and some when they are leaving.” – Confucius

Setting up a guest room seems like a simple enough task. Just fluff the pillows, give the floor a quick vacuum, and throw down some clean sheets before your visitors arrive.

For the most part, it’s not complicated. However, nobody wants to feel like an intruder in someone else’s space.

We’ve put together a few simple guest bedroom ideas that will elevate your guests’ experiences and make them feel right at home. Read on to see how you can give your visitors that five-star feeling.

1. Attic or Loft Guest Bedroom Ideas

If you have an attic or loft room that you aren’t using for storage, it could be the perfect area to convert into a guest room. No house guest likes the feeling of being in the way or underfoot, so giving them a space to themselves helps. It can give them some much-appreciated separation from the household bustle.

Attic shapes can be awkward, so take care when figuring out the layout. Don’t doom your guests to starting their days with migraines by wedging the head of the mattress under the low side of a slanted ceiling. Also, keep the area in front of the stairs or ladder completely free of furniture if you can help it. It might not seem like a big deal to maneuver around it once or twice, but your guests won’t want to worry about it every time they go to their room.

2. Guest Bedroom Bed Ideas

While a regular full-size mattress might be your first thought, that isn’t always a possibility, nor a requirement, when furnishing a guest room. A mattress that size simply won’t work if you’re giving a small, underutilized spare bedroom a new purpose. Or, if you’re revamping a recently empty childhood bedroom, you may have to think outside the box when designating a guest bed.
