4 Guest Bedroom Essentials

When entertaining overnight guests, you should provide your visitors with a space that feels like their home away from home. A guest bedroom should feature so much more than just a bed—it should also provide comfort, storage space, and some warm personal touches. To help you create the perfect guest bedroom, we have outlined the four home furnishing essentials that are sure to help your guests feel at home.

A Spacious Bed

When building a guest bedroom, make sure you select an appropriately sized bed. First consider the types of guests you usually have staying over your house. Do you usually have one overnight guest at a time or do you often accommodate couples? A Twin or a Full size bed will work fine for a single sleeper, but make sure you invest in a Queen or King size bed if you need a bed that will fit two.

Comfy Bedding

Don’t just supply your guests with any old blanket, but instead provide them with a soft and stylish comforter that matches the rest of the room’s décor. We have bedding sets available in all styles and colors, with options that will perfectly complement both traditional and contemporary décor. Making the extra effort when it comes to bedding will show that you are a caring host and it will no doubt impress your guests.

Bedroom Storage Furniture

Even if your guests are only staying for a day or two, they will no doubt appreciate having bedroom storage furniture to help them organize their belongings. We have affordable dressers and bedroom chests available, along with versatile media chests that include a space for your television set. If you have a particularly small guest bedroom to furnish, you could save space by purchasing a double-duty storage bed instead.

A Cozy Nook

If space allows, carve out a spot in the corner of the bedroom to create a cozy nook where your guests can unwind and perhaps curl up with a good book before bed. Your guest nook can be simple—just an accent chair and a decorative throw will do. This small addition will give your guest bedroom a very personal touch that your guests will surely love.

How to Use Home Accents to Enhance a Small Space

Do you have a small living space that is in need of an upgrade? Is your studio or one-bedroom apartment starting to feel a bit cramped and cluttered? At Harlem Furniture, we can help. Our furniture store has a collection of distinctive home accents that will make a big impact without breaking the bank. With a few home accents and our helpful tips, you will be able to transform your home in no time!

Decorative Mirrors

If you would like to make your space feel more open and airy, decorative mirrors offer the best solution. If you place one large mirror or a few small mirrors throughout a room, natural light will be reflected throughout the space, making the room appear larger than it is. Additionally, decorative mirrors can help brighten a room that is looking a bit dim and drab. These home accents are particularly useful because they can fit seamlessly in any room of your home.

Room Dividers

Room dividers are exceptionally versatile home accents that can help bring more structure and functionality to a studio apartment. A room divider will not only provide privacy, but it will also help you to partition your space—essentially creating separate “rooms.” We have room dividers available in a variety of attractive designs, so no matter what the style of your home décor, we guarantee we have room dividers that will coordinate perfectly.

Accent Chests

If you have a lot of treasured mementos and home decorations with little or no space to put them, you may want to consider purchasing one of our accent chests. These multipurpose furniture pieces do double duty, providing ample tabletop display space paired with roomy shelves and storage cabinets. Accent chests are great for living room storage and they can even be used for shoe storage at your home entrance.
