Here come the holidays, visitors from near and farare set to arrive! Before they do, it’s time to tackle the chore you’ve beenputting off since last holiday season…getting your guest bedroom ‘guest ready.’The problem with guest bedrooms is that 95% of the time they are useless to youbecause most of the time your small guest bedroom isn’t being used because it’sliterally being ‘eaten up’ by the bed.
Here’s2 steps you’ll want to do to reinvigorate your tiny guest bedroom into a usefulspace.
Step 1 to improve the guest bedroom – know your bedoptions
The next step for an uncluttered guest bedroom isto take a long hard look at the type of bed you’re using. If you want to improveyour rarely-used guest room, you’ll need to usher out the traditional bedsucking up the space. Whether you live in Hamilton, Burlington, or anywhere forthat matter – the options are the same. You can use a futon or a sleeper sofa.Read the following to learn more about the MANY benefits futons! Why Choose A Futon?
Step 2 to improve the guest bedroom – have a planto get more storage out of your closet
Since your guest bedroom by its very nature is asmall room (the bigger bedrooms you’ve given to the kids or other familymembers who use them daily) – you desperately need to get the maximum out ofthe limited storage space you have. Most guest bedrooms either have 2’ deepreach in closets or you may have no closet at all.
If you have a reach in closet you can split thespace in two. Keep ½ the closet for your excess personal storage (whether thisbe with adjustable shelves for home office storage or double hanging racks foroff season clothing) and use the other half the space with a single rod with ashelf or two above so guests can hang their garment bags and have a place forextra linens and towels.
If you want extra credit put a folding suitcaserack like you see in hotel rooms, a mint on the pillow and a frame with theWi-Fi password. However, if you’re worried about good ole’ Uncle Buck stayingtoo long, don’t do any of these things! If you don’t have a closet at alla built-in wardrobe can solve your storage problems with style (spacepermitting).
