How to Transform Your Spare Bedroom for the Ultimate Guest Bedroom

Spare bedrooms are sometimes forgotten spaces in our homes that we only remember when we must put away the Christmas décor, have nowhere to put our old luggage suitcases, or just basically need a makeshift home gym with some weights and an old treadmill. Basically, spare bedrooms are just that: spare and sparse. But let’s say you want to invite a friend or two over for a simple staycation in your home. You want to transform your spare bedroom into a luxury hotel-like bedroom where your guests can stay, feel comfortable, and have a memorable experience. The question is, where should you start? 

In this article, we’ve compiled together a list of the things you should put together in the spare bedroom to transform it into an enviable guest bedroom that you can eventually brag about, starting with…

The Bed – Invest in a sturdy and durable bed frame complete with a headboard and footboard to really have the cottage-core hotel-like feel. Just imagine how special your guest will feel when he sees an actual bed he can sleep in rather than just a futon or a sofa converted into a bed. 

The Bed Sheets – This is probably the best investment you can make this early in 2025. Invest in your home’s own collection of ultra-soft and extra-premium cotton bed sheets. These are the ultimate amenities that will make your guest feel like he’s staying at a 5-star hotel rather than at a guest bedroom. Choose the sateen weave, deluxe long-fibre cotton sheets complete with the pillowcase and duvet sets. 

The Pillows – Nothing speaks comfort better than plump pillows in cotton dream sheets that complement the feel of your brand-new, breathable cotton fitted sheets. Your guests will feel like they’re sleeping in a cloud when they lay their heads down for a quick nap or for a night’s rest. As the host, you’ll also be guaranteed that your guests will have a marvellous time staying at your place. 

The Bathroom Amenities – Go ahead and provide your guests with everything they could possibly need for toiletry items. Shampoos, makeup-removing wipes, body lotion, face scrubs and moisturisers, reusable bathroom slippers, sanitary pads or tampons, Q-tips, dental floss, whitening toothpaste, and hydrating face masks—the list just goes on. 

The Towels – Give your guests the ultimate hotel experience right in the comfort of your own home by providing them with plush, microfibre, extra-soft hotel-quality towels. Drop a pair on the bed or fold origami-style towels to set the mood once your guests arrive in the guest bedroom. 

The Cleanliness – This is the final piece of the puzzle or the crowning glory, so to speak. Your guests will feel absolutely special and cherished when they arrive from their travels to a clean guest bedroom with fresh clean sheets, plump pillows, and a warm duvet that’s just so inviting. 

Get lost in this mini home renovation project that just needs a few things. We guarantee that if you tick all of these things on your list, your guests will have the best experience just by being in a guest bedroom that’s been decorated and furnished just for them.
