The Great Guest Bed Conundrum
Posted on - 13th May 2022
When it comes to have guests staying over in your home, there can be many questions to answer. One of which is how to construct the perfect guest bedroom.
Guest bedrooms are becoming commonplace in many people’s homes. But having a guest bedroom stipulates many questions. What is the correct size bed to have? Which mattress would be best and are unique and special frames required?
At Dial-a-Mattress, we pride ourselves on fulfilling all of your bedding and mattress needs. From luxury bed frames in Telford to comfy mattresses, we have got you covered on all fronts.
So we thought this moment was so opportune to discuss why it is important not to neglect your guest bedroom and also cover some of the helpful techniques you can implement to ensure your guest bedroom is looking spick and span ready for your next antipcated guest.
The Rise of the Guest Bedroom
Before delving into ways to improve your spare bed and bedroom, we might want to consider why this is so important.
Whilst many homeowners cite having a guest bedroom or bed as potentially costly and rededunt, there is no denying that having a guest bedroom available is always a good option to have.
Accompanying this is the fact that most guest bedrooms did not start out as such. Around 90% of spare or guest bedrooms started out as normally one of your child’s rooms before they were able to afford their own homes. Similarly, some so-called spare rooms were converted to bedrooms.
Spare rooms frequently used to be constructed into the metaphorical man-cave. Many rooms would become gaming rooms or some would even become trophy rooms.
However, in more recent times these rooms are being converted into the much more practical guest room. Not only does this cater more to the female side of the family but it ensures that your friends and family will always have a cosy place to stay in your home.
Luxurious, But Not too Luxurious
This one might seem quite counterintuitive but you obviously want to impress your welcomed guest but you will do well to ensure they don’t think you have made too much effort on their behalf.
What we mean by this is if your guest room is particularly luxurious compared to say the rest of your household, they might think you are overcompensating when trying to impress them.
Whilst this is a precise balancing act, finding the correct balance is key to having a successful guest room that fulfils all purposes.
Ensure Your Guest Has Everything They Might Need
Key to your guest having a satisfactory experience is ensuring they have everything they might need. There are many things your guest might need so we thought it would be beneficial to list some of the most important features every guest room should have:
- Ample room for luggage and bags
- A diverse range of toiletries
- Water bottle and drinking glasses
- Conveniently located power sockets so they can charge their electronic devices
- A bedside table and accompanying reading lamp
- Comfy covers and pillow cases (because who doesn’t want that)
- Wardrobes and cupboards
