How to Organize a Small Bedroom for Guests
Today, I am sharing some tips on how to organize a small bedroom to create a functional and comfy guest bedroom.
Organizing a small bedroom for use by your guests can be a daunting task, but with a little creativity and some smart planning, it is possible to create a space that your guests will love. In our guest bedrooms, I like to create a room where my guests feel like they are at home.



Tips for Organizing a Small Bedroom

Here are a few tips for organizing a small bedroom:
- Utilize vertical space: Make use of under-bed storage and wall shelves to maximize space.
- Declutter: Go through your room and get rid of anything you don’t need or use. This will free up space and make it easier to organize the remaining items.
- Use furniture that has multiple functions: A chest at the end of the bed can be used to store extra pillows and blankets and also be a place for guests to rest their suitcases or travel bags.
- Make use of small storage solutions: Use small boxes, bins, and baskets to organize smaller items, so that they don’t get lost or fall onto the ground.
- Keep frequently used items easily accessible: Keep items you use often, such as your phone charger, light switch, and power outlet within reach so that your guests can reach them all easily.
- Keep the room clean and tidy: Regularly put things back where they belong, and take a few minutes each day to tidy up and you are always ready for a guest!

How to Organize a Guest Bedroom

- Start by decluttering and removing any unnecessary items from the room.
- Choose a color scheme and decor that will make the space feel warm and inviting.
- Invest in a comfortable bed and high-quality linens.
- Leave a steamer in the room so that your guests can easily rid their clothing of any wrinkles from packing.
- Include a reading light and a pair of blue light glasses for reading a book or their phone in bed.
- Add a few personal touches such as fresh flowers to make the space feel welcoming.
- Make sure the room is well-lit and has plenty of outlets for guests to charge their devices.
- Create a space for guests to hang their clothes or store their suitcases.
- Last but not least, leave a small welcome note with information about the wifi password and how the coffee maker works in case they are up before you are.

A free standing clothing rack in our guest bedroom makes it easy for our guests to know where to hang their clothing and coats. The rack also holds a steamer so that they can get rid of any clothing wrinkles they may have picked up during their travels. I also add a fluffy robe so that our guests can feel right at home.

These days, having an easy-to-find, multi-functional charging station is a must, so I keep this one right next to the bed. Additionally, for easy access, the remote, dimmer, and charger are all in one place.
Guest Bath Must-Haves

Every guest bathroom should have these items:
- Fresh bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths
- Body wash, shampoo, and conditioner
- Toothpaste and a disposable toothbrush
- A hairdryer
- Extra toilet paper
- Disposable razor
- A trash can
While organizing a small bedroom can be a challenge, with a little creativity and some smart planning, it is possible to create a functional and stylish space that will be inviting to your guests. A little bit of effort will go a long way in creating a comfortable and inviting small guest bedroom.

Such a cozy and comfortable space. And, you’ve added some ideas I can incorporate into my room that’s being redone. Could you share where you got the duvet cover? Is it linen? I love the sage color, though the quilts seem to come in oatmeal so I’m not sure of the color. I do like the texture. Thanks!
