29 guest bedroom ideas

The key to successful guest bedroom ideas is to strike the balance between style and comfort. 

Whether you have a second bedroom ready-prepared for surprise drop-ins, or a multifunctional space that doubles as a guest room, having a warm and welcoming space to host friends and family is a wonderful addition if you love to entertain.

Sometimes bedrooms for guests can be an afterthought, especially if you are doing a complete home redesign, but it’s worth spending time on getting it right, say Staffan and Monique Tollgård, founders of  Tollgård Design.  

‘Finding a second wind is important, as this is the space where guests will take the measure of your home. Textured wallpaper, a great mattress, considered and flattering lighting, soft rugs, and a statement piece – whether lighting or a great headboard – will make a lasting Impression.'
