cool guest room ideas

Whether you’re hosting guests for the holidays or you want to get your home ready for the new year, these cool guest room ideas will help keep your guests comfortable and cozy during their visit! 

Stock Your Own Mini Bar

Want your houseguests to feel like they’re staying at a luxury hotel? Add a “mini bar” to the guest room. Whether you opt for a bar cart stocked with their favorite liquor and mixers or a tray of bottled water, bananas, and their favorite  trail mix, your guests will love the convenience this personalized mini bar affords them.

Leave out a Luggage Rack 

Looking for cool guest room ideas for a small guest room? Provide your guests with a luggage rack. Especially if you don’t have the space for a dresser or armoire, a luggage rack is an inexpensive way to keep your guests from having to bend over to find their dinner outfit or from having to put their dirty luggage on the clean bedding. 

Bring in Some Bedroom Seating

While guests predominantly use the guest room as a place to sleep, one of our favorite guest room furniture ideas involves bringing in some bedroom seating. That way, your guests can comfortably catch up on work emails, put on their shoes, or get in some reading in the privacy of their own room. If you’re short on space, a bedroom bench won’t take up much space. If you have the room, try opting for an accent chair, a loveseat, or a desk and chair. 

Upgrade Your Mattress

Wondering how to make a guest room cozy for your visitors? Upgrading your mattress is one of the best ways to make your guests more comfortable when they visit. And the more well-rested your guests are, the happier they’ll be! Not sure which mattress to choose? Check out our guide to how to choose a mattress for your guest bedroom. 

Decorate with Mirrors

Did you know that decorating with mirrors can make a small guest room look even larger? Plus, they make it so your guests can easily put on makeup, do their hair, and check out how they look before leaving the room. That’s why decorating with mirrors is one of our favorite guest room decorating ideas. Not sure where to put it? Try placing a mirror across from a window or a light source to make the room feel brighter and more open! Now that you’ve read these cool guest room ideas, it’s time to start decorating!
