Most of home owners face the problem of lack of space: we often have small bathrooms, entryways, kitchens and even bedrooms. Such rooms as guest bedrooms are often small, too, though we need to accommodate a lot inside to let the guest feel comfortable. How to design a comfortable guest bedroom with everything necessary? Here are some tips and examples.
Buy A Functional Bed
A large bed will take up most of the space you have but your guests will feel comfortable sleeping in it, so it’s a good idea, plus rocking large scale pieces will give a more modern look to your space. Reduce the amount of other furniture in the space, if it’s really small. As for the bed itself, go for a functional one with a headboard with storage or some storage space inside it. Moving the bed closer to the wall gives the impression of more space and it will make it easier for your visitors to access the bed.

Use Hanging Lights
A chandelier, lantern, or pendant lamp will free up lots of floor space. Furthermore, the chandelier will become a chic focal point of the small guest room, and as for the bed space, you may go for sconces or use some pendant lamps, so a bedside table won’t be that necessary.
Lights up and a sconce in a matching style are all you need for bringing enough light to the room.

Add Visual Appeal
Any mirror will make the room look larger, and your guests may need it for dressing up. You don’t even need an extra large one – a small mirror is enough and it will have the same effect. White drapes, for instance soften light and make the guest room greatly appealing. When done right, the drapes will make an otherwise small room appear larger. Keep the room uncluttered: place only the furniture that is necessary and don’t add anything else. Avoiding large-scale pieces is great only if you are going to have much furniture, if not, a large bed and a chair are okay and will give a more modern look to the room.
