Atlantic Side Table and Monroe King Bed by Mr. and Mrs. Howard for Sherrill Furniture<br />
Build off the basics<br />
A comfortable bed is key. Choose a quality mattress. Even if you don’t have company all that<br />
often, it is still a good investment. When your home is guest-free and family members are feeling<br />
under the weather, they can retreat to a private, comfy space and let their partner or sibling<br />
sleep undisturbed.<br />
Soft bedding and a variety of blankets let guests adjust to their own comfortable temperature.<br />
Provide plenty of pillows so they can build their own head base. Consider allergen barrier<br />
pillows.<br />
Designing dreamland<br />
A guest room should feel welcoming but not overstuffed. While a large bed is nice, it shouldn’t<br />
compromise the floor space. No one wants to bang their shins on the bed frame trying to<br />
maneuver around the room. Tables with lamps should be placed on either side of the bed. If<br />
possible, place the bed so that electrical outlets for phones, iPads, or other tech pieces are easily<br />
accessible.<br />
A comfortable chair with a throw is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a bit of downtime. A<br />
small dresser or armoire is all that is needed to let guests unpack and feel like they are settling<br />
in for a while. Although you might include a luggage stand should guests prefer to skip unpacking.<br />
Closets, if available, or bottom drawers are prime locations for extra pillows and blankets<br />
so that guests don’t have to seek you out and request them at bedtime.<br />
