So, the joke is that you shouldn’t make your guest room overly fine because your friends or family will overstay their welcome. However, that is only an old expression rather than something to be taken. There’s something special about creating a warm and inviting living area for the guests — it shows how much you care. Take a room in your home and fill it with all the best amenities to create a relaxing environment. Then send out the invites. Your guests will appreciate the thought that went into their stay.
Making the ideal guest area is a fairly simple process. Here are six ideas on how to make your guests feel welcome and encourage them to hang outside for some time.

1. Infuse a sense of humor. Tell your guests, “The fish was ‘that’ big!” (While holding your arms out as if you are telling a fishing story). In what is a beautiful and well-appointed guest room, the bluefin tuna mounted on the wall brings in a much-appreciated humorous touch.
2. Play with color. In my view, a guest room should be fun and vibrant with something a little unexpected. This tasteful black green and white area is all about color color and more color. With three or four different shades of green, a tasteful chandelier over the bed and a bevy of black and white patterns, this room is wrapped in color.

Bright splashes of crimson and a graphic object of art balanced against cool blue make me feel of the beach. This guest room feels like an ideal landing spot after a day on the beach or strolling the boardwalk.

3. Create a relaxing environment. The traditional mix of light blue and chocolate brown specify the elegant nature of the relaxing guest room. The coverlet and duvet mix is a great way to supply the necessary flexibility to how your guests like to sleep. Some like lots of covers, some like fewer.

4. Don’t overlook the younger guests. I see a huge slumber party going to occur in this guest room made just for your youngsters. Four bunk beds and plenty of storage provide the kids their own spot for an extended stay.

5. Give a writing desk for an entire vacation experience. Part of the vacation experience is sitting down and placing pencil to book to discuss special memories with those back home. A simple writing desk can be a post card writing station or provide your guest a place to check on the hottest Houzz upgrades.

6. Nothing sweeter than a package for your guests. A converted attic, complete with sleeping arrangements, sitting area and a writing desk gives your guests a home away from your home. Just be careful because they might never wish to leave.

This little modern guest suite provides all of the conveniences of home: a mattress, TV viewing area and a desk. If they are not careful, I just might move in. The deep brown wall can help to make the room look longer than it really is.
