- When you truly have the space for a dedicated guest room, don’t cut it off from the rest of the house. Make it beautiful and comfortable, leave the door open, and visit the room regularly, if only to water plants or open a window. Guard against it becoming a junk room that gets shoveled out just before guests arrive.
- Don’t limit your work needs or creative expression! If you need a place to work, make art, dance or exercise, or redesign the guest room. There are many ways you can incorporate a guest bed into your new design, including Murphy beds, hide-a-beds, and futons.
