Having guests over for the holidays (or any other time of the year) comes with certain things that need to be taken care of. Most hosts will ensure their house is clean, their fridge well stocked, and the laundry done. But the most important part of hosting guests in your home is ensuring their stay and sleep is comfortable!
Furnishing a guest bedroom with modern furniture is a good way to ensure that your guests will enjoy their stay in your home. Having welcoming and comfortable furniture and decor will make all the difference in your guests' experiences!
Guest Room Furniture
There are a few essential pieces of modern furniture you should use in a guest bedroom or guest suite to give your guests all they need to be comfortable and functional while they stay with you.
Mattress
Too often, people use their old mattress as a guest room mattress when they upgrade themselves to a new one. This can lead to guest room mattresses being fifteen or twenty years old in some cases! Full of springs, sagging, and an uncomfortable night's sleep.
You should always ensure the mattress in your guest room or guest suite is comfortable so your guests can have a good night's sleep. You can often find good mattresses for a reasonable price, so you don't have to worry about breaking the bank. Giving your guests a comfortable place to sleep is the best way to ensure they enjoy their stay!
Seating
Having seating in a guest room gives your guests another place to unwind and relax while they stay with you. Using an occasional chair or an armchair in the corner of a room or beside the bed helps add more modernity to your space as well.
A deep, comfortable armchair like the Laguna armchair is perfect for a bedroom with some pillows or a throw blanket. It provides a place to read, check email, or simply browse through Instagram before going to sleep. The Chelsea Chair is a great example of a multipurpose chair that can be used for seating or for laying out tomorrow's clothes.
A modern armchair in a bedroom helps make your guests feel more at home!
Bed
Very few things in a house are more uncomfortable than a squeaking bed. Always make sure your guests are given a bed large enough, new enough, and comfortable enough not to squeak when they get up in the night or turn over. Ensure the bed for your guest room is made with high quality materials and well maintained to prevent it from bending, squeaking, or even breaking.
Storage
Even if your guests are just staying for a night or two over a weekend, providing them storage to unpack will help them settle in and feel more comfortable as a guest in your home.
An item like the Malta Sideboard or Malta Bookcase with Drawers are great options for slim storage that will fit in almost any guest room. Your guests can put their clothes, toiletries, electronics, and anything else they want to unpack easily. These modern storage options are great replacements for nightstands and bookshelves in guest rooms that may not be as practical or take up more space than a universal storage solution.
Hangers
A small, but extremely important addition to ensure is in a wardrobe or closet is plenty of hangers. Especially around the holidays or other special events that might warrant guests staying over, people will often have suits or dresses that they want to hang up. Providing enough hangers in a closet or even in the bathroom will add the homey touch that your guests will appreciate.
