Small guest rooms allow you to make your guest comfortable and offer them some privacy if they need to stay over or are visiting for a short time. Guest rooms can be decorated to match the current theme of your home or they can have a theme of their own. While the décor is important, making the most of the space is a factor to consider when decorating the room too.
Soft, textured blankets, seating areas, and storage for personal items are some aspects to consider adding to the room to make it more functional and welcoming to guests. Don’t forget to make it beautiful and welcoming as well, with framed photos or paints, desks, and mirrors. If you are planning to design or redecorate a guest room in your home, be sure to check out these ideas for some inspiration.
