11 Cozy Guest Bedroom Ideas

As a good and gracious hostess, creating a cozy guest bedroom for overnight stays is important when friends and family are visiting from out of town!

You love your guests and the best way to show it is to make them feel cozy and comfortable in their guest room!

Here are several ways to create a beautiful guest bedroom no matter what size it is!

Most guest bedrooms are small which actually makes it easier to create that cozy, warm feeling.

1. Freshly washed bedding and towels

The first thing to do is to remove the bedding that’s already on the guest bed, or select bedding and towels that are stored in your closet, and give it a fresh wash. ​

We all know that there is nothing worse for a guest than sleeping in sheets that have a stale smell that comes from being stored in a linen closet for a while!

Pop your sheets, pillowcases, blankets, accent pillow covers, throw blankets and duvet cover in the wash with Persil® ProClean® Laundry Detergent and you’ll have clean, fresh smelling bedding for your guests to enjoy!

Persil is my go-to laundry detergent for amazing cleaning power and a beautiful fresh laundry scent!

I particularly love Persil laundry detergent since it removes stubborn stains so well. Persil laundry detergent has stain fighting enzymes that actually break down stains for a superior clean!

They also make Persil® Proclean Discs, which are convenient, pre-measured, single-use discs that you toss right into the washing machine!

I think those clean, fresh smelling sheets makes a person sleep better, which is important for your guests.

It breaks down any built-in odors to keep clothes and bedding smelling great!

2. Vacuum and Dust

A quick, thorough vacuum (this is my favorite cordless vacuum!) and dusting the end tables and the dresser is important!

Do that one or two days before your guests arrive!

See this post on Getting your Home Guest Ready Clean for all my cleaning tips!​

3. Accent pillows and throw blankets

Adding accent pillows and a throw blanket will give your guest bedroom that layer of love and coziness, pattern and color that will make your guests smile!

4. Nightstand

Having a nightstand for your guests to store their watches, jewelry, books etc is important so that they aren’t ‘living’ out of their suitcase!

If you don’t have nightstands, think out of the box and use a bar cart as an end table!

5. Lighting

Whether​ you have wall sconces on each side of the bed or table lamps on the end tables, add accent lighting to the guest bedroom in case they want to read or surf their tablets​.

6. Wifi code

Make sure your guests have the wifi code so they can access emails or surf their tablets​.

You can write it on a pretty sheet of paper or on a note card and keep it in the guest bedroom for all of your guests to have on hand.

7. Decorative tray

I love to have a tray on the bed for my guests’ arrival!

To me, it says ‘welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!’

Here are some things to add to your guest tray:​

  • magazines
  • bottled water
  • notepad/notebook and pen
  • fresh flowers in a pretty vase
  • candle

8. Complimentary Box Of Toiletries

I also love to make up a box of travel size toiletries for our overnight guests in case they forget something!

I use a lidded jewelry box and add travel sized toiletries.

9. Dresser or Suitcase stand

It’s really considerate to have a dresser in the guest bedroom so guests can put their clothes in if they are staying for a few days. Also add a folding suitcase stand or two to make accessing clothes easier.​​

10. Wall art and mirror

Adding a wall mirror above the dresser or nightstand or a hanging full-length mirror on the back of the guest bedroom door is handy for guests to use to check their clothing and makeup.

Also, adding art to the walls will give a guest bedroom that final layer of coziness!

Our guest love these indigo coral prints and the juju hats I added to our guest bedroom!

They give our guest bedroom that cozy, oasis escape feel that I want our guests to have!  ​​

11. Give your guests the okay to relax in the guest bedroom

Tell your guests how much you are thrilled to have them stay at your home.

Also, let them know that you have the wifi card for them and the complimentary box of toiletries and they are free to use anything in it!

Let them know that it is perfectly fine if they want to stay in their guest bedroom and relax for a while.

Pass on to them that they don’t have to be with you every minute of their stay!

Sometimes guests will feel obligated to sit in your living room or kitchen, but if they know they can hang out in their guest bedroom that will make their stay more pleasant and less ‘forced’!​
