The Malouf Guide to a Perfect Guest Room
As summer approaches, you may be hosting more guests in your home. Whether your parents, in-laws, or friends are visiting for a few nights, make them feel welcome and comfortable with these tips for designing an inviting guest bedroom.
MAKE IT COOL AND COZY
Travel can be exhausting. With moving between time zones and on-the-go activities, a good night’s rest is going to be a priority for your guests. Having a temperature-controlled sleep environment with a super comfortable mattress, like the Ice Cloud™ mattress, will help your guests get their best rest. And, protect your peace of mind with a Five 5ided™ IceTech™ mattress protector to keep the bed fresh for all your guests.
THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES
Go above and beyond by providing little things for your guests to make their travel easier. Stock the bathroom they’ll be using with basic toiletries and a hairdryer. In the bedroom, include an alarm clock on the nightstand, and leave an extra phone charger there. Make important information like the Wi-Fi password, security codes, or emergency phone numbers clear and available in the room.
A HINT OF LUXURY
Nothing says luxury like a fresh set of silky sheets. And while a fresh set of sheets for your guest is a given, why not treat them to a VIP experience? From our Smooth Rayon from Bamboo Sheet set to the Supima® Premium Cotton sheets, the options will all have your guests leaving five-star reviews.
MEET SLEEP NEEDS
It’s not going to be possible to please every potential guest when it comes to the pillows you provide. Get as close as you can to that by using good, middle ground options or a wide variety of choices. Staying away from the ultra-plush or very firm profiles—the Zoned Talalay Latex pillows are a great option thanks to their multiple profiles —will be more accommodating for more people.
CLEAR THE CLUTTER
When your guest room is not in use, it probably becomes a bit of a dumping ground in your home. Clean out the room to be sure your guests feel like they have enough space and aren’t intruding. It’s alright if you can’t completely clear the closet or shelves, but make the space feel clean and tidy. To help maximize your space, consider a guest bed with underbed storage, like our Watson Platform Bed Frame.
