With a little imagination mixed in with some creative flair, designing a guest room can allow you to step outside of your comfort zone to create a unique yet comfortable sleeping space. Although not used as often as other rooms in your house your guest room should still reflect your own personal style but maintain functionality.

Follow these simple tips to create a room to suit any guest:

Using your Space

Whether working with a small or large room, the use of space is key to creating the maximum in comfort and style. Create areas for each section of the room: sleeping, working and reading. Selecting the right furniture for each area is easy once you have a plan for using the space accordingly. Furniture with additional storage space (chests, side tables with multiple drawers, shelves, etc…) makes it easier for guests to store extra belongings and luggage.

Understanding Colour

Opt for neutral paint colours or for a twist paint one wall a bright colour. Additional colour can be incorporated with vibrant accessories including pillows, throws, lamps and blinds. Even patterned furniture can be used to add a touch of colour. Bored with your colour scheme? Changing a room's accessories makes it easier and more affordable to add colour and spice to any space.

Let the Light In

Purchase lights that add the right atmosphere and make the most out of the space such as wall lights that create a soft and relaxing environment. Select window coverings with the option of "blackout curtains". Beside lamps or ceiling lights with dimming features also allow for adjustable lighting. Brighten up dark corners with floor lamps, which can be plugged in and easily shifted around for redecorating. Guests with different preferences for lighting will appreciate these small gestures.

Comfort

Each guest has their own preference when it comes to sleeping arrangements. Have duvets, blankets and comforters readily available. Incorporate different types of pillows on the bed including hypoallergenic for guests with allergen problems. Invest in a quality mattress and bed not only to provide the utmost in comfort for your guests but to enjoy your own peace of mind knowing that your guests will enjoy a good night's rest.

Going Green

With more affordable options out there, becoming green has never been easier. Install wood or bamboo blinds or incorporate hardwood flooring to add that touch of green to your guest's space. A lot of energy is lost through windows. Try an insulation kit to keep the airflow cool in the summer and keep the cold out in the winter. For carpeted rooms ditch synthetic for natural fibres and nail them down instead of using glues or adhesives which both contain formaldehyde.
