Small Guest Room Makeover
Are you just starting to design your guest room or redesigning it? Whatever the reason is, you can do a lot with your guest room even if you have limited space. It’s all about planning and strategy. Plan what theme you’d like to do with your guest room. If you’re on a limited budget, you can DIY some things or refurbish old furniture pieces to save money. However, if you have some money to spend then it is okay to splurge on a few pieces of furniture.
How To Decorate A Small Guest Room
Are you ready to revamp your guest room? Take inspiration with these easy tips on how to decorate a small guest room and impress your guest:
Make Your Bed A Focal Point
Placing a bed beside a window or a wall may create the illusion of space. However, setting the bed at the center and leaving space on either side creates an overall smoother flow in the room. It will also make in and out of bed easier and more comfortable for your visitors.
Don’t Forget To Add A Mirror
A mirror, whether big or small, can make a difference in the room. According to Country Living, “The bigger the mirror, the more space it will appear to create. Think carefully about the angle of the room you want to reflect placing a mirror opposite a window, for example, will bring both natural light and greenery into a smaller room.”
Tall Curtains
Placing tall curtains in a small guest room can make the room feel romantic. It can also soften the light inside. If done correctly, it can make the room feel big and gives warmth inside the guest room. A quick tip: pick a curtain with vertical stripes to give the illusion of length.
Keep Out Unnecessary Furniture
Since we are dealing with limited space, make sure to exclude unnecessary pieces of furniture. For example, if you have a bulky closet, you can substitute it with a standing clothes rack. Surely, your guest won’t have that many clothes, so a clothes rack will be a good alternative. So ditch the large and chunky pieces.
Experiment With Theme
Even though you have a small guest room, it doesn’t have to be boring. You can experiment with various design ideas – Bohemian, Preppy, Minimalist...the list goes on. As long as you remember to keep the furniture minimal, then you are good to go.
