A guest room that’s ready to welcome guests year-round isn’t that hard to create. A few statement additions like the right shade of paint to go with your room’s theme and some thoughtfully curated decor pieces are enough to give guests a memorable stay. Adding lifestyle amenities like reading corners or workspaces goes on to enhance this idea of luxurious living that you are looking to include in your guest room. However, a practical problem that pops up while designing guest rooms is that of making the room comfortable for all kinds of people. Customising the room to match the varied tastes of your many guests could be time-consuming and confusing. But you can still provide a luxurious and comfortable stay by adding some of these few special touches.

Elegant and Subtle Colours

Colours have a lasting imprint on our minds and can easily change our moods. Soft colours are a trending and elegant option for bedroom walls. Consider choosing lighter shades of grey, pastel green, lime yellow, cream, etc for a mellow ambience. If your guest room is relatively small, then you can choose two shades of the same colour, like light and dark grey to create the illusion of a bigger space. Choose furniture in complementing hues to accentuate the theme further. For instance, a room with light grey walls can include sofas, rugs, bed linen, paintings, drapes, etc in similar, lighter to darker shades of grey.

Create a Sitting Area

Guest rooms that include a sitting area like comfortable sofas and chairs are a warm addition to the space and give your guests a space to relax in privacy, without having to enter common areas in the house if they don’t wish to. Chairs in shades like cobalt, midnight blue, sea blue, olive green, or grey go really well with rooms in slate blue, cream, light green, light grey, etc. The key is to pair dark-coloured sofas with light-coloured rooms if the room is spacious and you want to create an impression. For smaller spaces, add furniture matching the colour of the room to make the rooms appear bigger. You can make this sitting corner livelier by adding a coffee table beside the chair.

Adding a Workspace

With remote work becoming a popular option for those with jobs, many people travel with laptops and professional commitments on their minds. Setting up a workspace in your guest room is definitely going to please folks on a workation. You can create the workspace by the window and provide your guests with a view as they work or choose to place it closer to the power socket.

Reading Corners

Sometimes, a guest room is more than just a room. It often doubles up as an entertainment space, considering that your guests will be doing more than just sleeping there. Adding a corner dedicated to reading and relaxing makes absolute sense. If your room is big enough, a classy bookshelf with a statement chair and an ottoman to match would add an additional layer of comfort. You could match the chair and ottoman with the interiors or go the opposite way and make it stand out. Get a tall floor lamp, one that is adjustable, and you’ve created a peaceful corner for bookworms. What’s more, is that it also doubles up as a space to take an afternoon nap.

Add an Entertainment Unit

Another interesting addition to the guest room could involve setting up an entertainment unit comprising a TV with access to streaming services like Amazon Prime and Netflix, and a home theatre for the much-loved cinematic effect. Make sure to keep the home wifi available to your guests and save them the hassle of coming to you asking for it.

Your guests will forever remember their pleasant stay at your home when you add some or all of these special touches to your guest room. Offer them more than just a cosy bed; offer them the luxury of homely living with a tinge of elegance and royalty.
