Elevate Your Guest Bedroom with Lulu and Georgia
More elegant than crashing on the sofa and more personal than a hotel, a well-designed guest bedroom is our favorite love language. We asked the design experts at Lulu and Georgia how to craft a thoughtful space that’ll help overnight guests feel welcome—and never like a burden.

Curate a Serene Sanctuary

After a day of socializing, your guests crave rest and relaxation. Help them recharge with cozy upholstered bedframes, extra throws to ward off the chill, and high-quality sheets for the ultimate VIP treatment. Extra tip from Lulu and Georgia: pick all your elements in soothing neutral color palettes to infuse the space with a self-care spa vibe. 

Prepare a Place for Everything

The first thing one looks for in a guest room is where to store all their things. Help your guests get settled in and organized with ample storage. Add a dresser for stowing their clothes and placing their luggage, nightstands for smaller accessories, and maybe even a soft accent chair or a bench for casually draping a coat. 

Go the Extra Mile

Finally, level up your hosting game with small but thoughtful touches. Consider what your guests will need to start the day right. Think mirrors to help them get ready, a well-placed lamp to prevent stubbed toes during an evening visit to the bathroom, and a vase with fresh flowers to show you prepared the room just for them. 

F.A.Q.

What furniture should be in a guest bedroom?

The most important piece of furniture in a guest bedroom is a bed. Whether it’s a king, queen, double, or a space-saving daybed, make sure the bed is dressed in soft, comfortable bedding.  


A dresser or small wardrobe gives guests space to unpack, while a comfortable chair or bench provides a place to put down luggage and relax. Make it a storage bench or ottoman for even more storage options.  


Other functional and thoughtful touches include a full-length mirror, nightstand, plush rug, and storage baskets. You can even include extra furniture like a desk or compact couch if you have the space. 

What is the best color for the guest bedroom?

Guest bedrooms should be calm and relaxing. Stick to soft, natural colors like cream, warm white, light gray, beige, or blues. 


Add an extra punch of color with an accent wall. Try painting your accent wall a bolder shade like emerald green, deep navy, rich burgundy, mustard yellow, earthy terracotta, or a metallic shade. 


Add color through other elements like wall art, throw pillows, bedding, and curtains for a less permanent option. 

What makes a guest bedroom feel inviting? 

An inviting guest bedroom balances comfort and thoughtful details. Start with a cozy bed featuring soft linens, plush pillows, and a warm blanket. Provide ample lighting with bedside lamps for reading and ambient lighting for relaxation. A clutter-free space with essential furniture — nightstands, a luggage rack, and a chair — enhances functionality. Add personal touches like fresh flowers, a scented candle, or a small welcome note. Ensure guests have easy access to essentials such as Wi-Fi information, extra toiletries, and charging stations. Finally, consider a neutral color palette and soft textures to create a serene and welcoming atmosphere.
