Making your small guest room a cozy and inviting place doesn’t require a large investment. With a few smart strategies, you can design a comfortable and practical space your guests will love.
Make Your Own Décor
Making your own décor can save money and be personal. I’ve enjoyed making wall hangings or reusing old items to add character to a room.

Follow a Simple Design Ethos
Less is more in small spaces. By choosing simple décor and a few essential furniture pieces, you can avoid a crowded atmosphere—something I’ve learned from years of designing small spaces.
A few relevant products:

Small art pieces add interest without taking up space. I often suggest a single striking piece above the bed to pull the eyes upward.
Might be a good match:

- Art Prints on Canvas: Bring elegance to your bedroom with art prints on canvas that draw the eye upward.

Get the Most from Vertical Space
Use vertical space with high shelves or hanging organizers. In small rooms, using vertical space has been my go-to way to add storage.
A few choices to try:
- Wall Shelf System: Save floor space and declutter by fitting shelves vertically for easy storage and access.
- Door Hanging Organizer: Use door space with a hanging organizer to keep must-haves tidy and nearby.
- Stackable Storage Bins: Use stackable bins to get the most from vertical space while keeping items tidy and easy to reach.
Select Furniture with Multiple Uses
Look for furniture that can be used in different ways, like a bed with storage underneath or a desk that folds away. Personally, I’ve found that a storage bench has been incredibly useful for keeping extra blankets and cushions handy.
May just do the trick:
- Storage-Integrated Bed Frame: Get the most out of your space by storing essential items in a bed frame featuring integrated drawers.
- Retractable Wall Desk: Make a versatile area for working with a retractable wall desk that saves space in your guest room.
