Small Guest Bedroom Ideas

Are you faced with a cluttered storage room that's seen more pajama days than productivity? Maybe you’ve considered the possibility of your mother-in-law's surprise weekend visits and thought, "Hmm, this could be a guest bedroom"? We’ve been there. Transforming that "I'll sort it out someday" space into a stylish guest bedroom is a space-savvy invitation for any guest. Let's dive into the best small guest bedroom ideas, and turn your once-forgotten space into a cozy retreat that's ready for guests—expected or otherwise.

Small Guest Bedroom = Maximum Storage Opportunities

Small rooms have a mysterious ability to attract clutter, especially when you aren’t hosting guests. Trying to style a full bedroom set in a small space is a real-life game of Tetris. What you want is a balance between functionality and compromise. In the end, it’s the inherent coziness, creative storage, and your personal touches that shine brighter. 

How To Maximize Space with Smart Furniture Choices

Multi-functional furniture is going to be your secret weapon here. Your goal is to make every inch count! These are some things to think about when looking for furniture. 

Themed Styles for Guest Bedrooms

Guest bedrooms don’t need to look like a hotel room. It should actually be quite the opposite. Treat your guests to a themed bedroom experience! Transport them to a vacation paradise with a resort or tropical-themed bedroom. Apply a Mitchell Black wallpaper if you're in a colder area for a rustic feel to make them feel like they're staying in a cozy cabin in the woods.

A Modern Flare

An office, craft room, or man cave can simply double as a small guest bedroom. With a minimalist approach and a modern style, the room can serve many purposes. Here’s how you can make a modern flare theme attractive for your guests: 

Industrial-Chic

This style is best for the bold and daring. Industrial bedrooms blend rugged, unembellished elements with modern furnishings to create a minimalist but appealing style. The industrial-chic theme incorporates exposed air ducts, raw wood, as well as crisp, tailored drapes and sleek bed linenes.

• Color palette: Dark, rich colors like gray, black, and navy, with pops of metallics. 
• Furniture: Exposed  brick, metal frames, and reclaimed wood. Repurposed trunks, shabby-chic dressers, and up-cycled accents really pull together an industrial look. 

These are just a few examples, you can always mix and match to create a unique style that completes your home. 

Enhance Space Perception

To The Windows

• Window treatments like a valance can help draw the eye upward and create a sense of height, making a small room feel more spacious. 
• Use sheer curtains or blinds that help filter natural light and reduce the sense of clutter in the room. They can also create a sense of depth and openness. 
• Mount curtain rods higher up on the wall. This creates an illusion of a taller ceiling. 

To The Walls

• Reflective surfaces like glass, metallic, or glossy finishes will bring in and spread lighting. 
• Place a mirror on the opposite wall of the window. Allow natural light to bounce off and brighten the room. 

Create a Focal Point

A central feature in your small guest bedroom both draws the eye and elevates the overall charm, making it look bigger and more cohesive. Consider adding a striking wallpaper with wildlife motifs on a single wall. You can even add a personalized touch with a statement piece of artwork or a colorful rug. 

Wallpaper: The Secret to Making a Small Room Feel Grand

When paint falls flat, let wallpaper work its magic in your guest suite. Any small guest bedroom can benefit with the presence of stunning wallpaper. If you want to design a space for your visitors that will make them feel as though they are on a thrilling vacation rather than just sleeping on a less comfortable bed than their own at home, then a captivating wallpaper can be the ideal answer.
