12 Creative Ways to Ensure Your Guest Bedroom Exudes Comfort

Part of being a gracious host is knowing that the guest room in your home needs to be just as memorable as the soirees you throw. The ideal guest suite beckons friends and family to recharge and reflect on the memories made from the day. It also makes both the guest and host feel comfortable for the entire duration of the stay.

When first devising the design plan for your guest room, think about the people you intend to host most often. Do you foresee a lot of your extended family staying with you? Consider investing in two, custom-made beds to accommodate more people staying in the guest suite. Have a rather stylish and artistic group of friends? Fill the room with eccentric artwork and brilliant pops of color to get them talking. You can never go wrong with placing a freshly cut arrangement of flowers on the bedside table as a welcome gift.

And most of all, don’t be afraid to add a personal touch to the room, whether that be through the design books carefully placed throughout the space or the linens gracing the bed. After all, guests should be able to get a sense of your impeccable decor style. We've pulled together the most helpful tips and beautiful guest rooms from our archives to help guide you on this decorating journey.
