Your guest room design should not only be comfortable but also a little fun. Choose a theme that is personal to you and go from there. Pictured here, you can see that the owner of this home loves the outdoors because of their choice of fish pillows and bird lamps. What do you love that you can reflect in your guest room? Do you love old movies? Hang some great movie posters. Elvis? Decorate with your Elvis collectibles. Dreaming of going to Paris one day? Choose Parisian decor. The possibilities are endless! The Easiest Way to Organize a Guest Room
Use a Hanging Shoe Organizer
Keeping a few personal neccessities that someone might forget is also a good idea. A disposable razor, a new toothbrush, and travel sized deodorant are all good to have on hand. a great way to keep all of these little things organized in the guest room is to use a hanging shoe organizer in the closet.
Using a hanging shoe organizer makes it easy to keep all of the things an overnight guest might need all in one place. Use the different compartments to store things like, those new toothbrushes, clean towels, extra soap, hand cream, tissues, and even a light-weight extra blanket.
Having these things all in one handy place makes it easy for your guest to comfortably help themselves while keeping your guest room fully organized.

It's the top choice for parents with children and the top choice for hotels nation-wide. Velvety and luxurious. Hypo-allergenic. Very durable, withstands frequent washings.

Provide Bed Side Lighting
Choosing a lamp to match the theme of your room is a cute idea.
Make Them Feel Special
A scented flameless candle or a nightlight might be just the thing!
The Guest Room / Office
Many people simply don't have the extra room in their homes to set up a special guestroom and an office so they opt for a guestroom/office.A guestroom/office can be decorated either in a cute style or made to look more professional. In either case you won't want a traditional bed in this room.
If you have the extra money, a pull out bed is the perfect answer. By day, it looks like a couch or a love seat and by night, it turns into an extra bed. A futon is your next best bet. Futons are less expensive, and maybe a bit less comfortable than a pull out bed but they do work well in a pinch.
But a bed isn't really enough to make your office into a comfortable guestroom. You will still need to supply the finishing touches such as blankets, pillows, and a place to put your guests belongings.
You can save space in the office closet for this or else a nice looking trunk/table might be the answer for your guest room storage needs. It can hold your guest room blankets and pillows while working as a coffee table by day and then be moved to the side of your pulled-out bed or open futon where it will act as a night table.

My work space is in the corner of the family room. When the kids were small, I was able to keep an eye on them while I worked. At this point, I want a space I can call my own.

Wonderful ideas in here. Right at this very moment I am in the midst of wondering how to transform a former boys' playroom/study into a guest room. The bots have gone and the house is my own now :) It was a stroke of good luck I came across your lens. Thanks for the excellent tips on the hanging organisers and the touches of luxury

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if there are some people that are interested in things like Japanese lamps or lanterns, Chinese lamps or
lanterns, shoji doors and other Japanese interior design or garden items. I live in Japan now and these items have been become
very interesting to me, however my knowledge is limited and I'm sure there are people out there that could tell me things about
these subjects that I might not know yet. If you have a chance check out my Japanese Lamps blog.

Cute lens. How about providing a luxurious microwaveable heating pad for your guests. Check out cozybagz when you get a chance. They have a new line of organic fabrics and the bags are actually filled with organic corn. They are awesome.
