Guest Suites: Bedrooms Your Guests Will Absolutely Adore
There’s something so special about creating a guest bedroom. Unlike other spaces in the home, a guest suite is designed purely with hospitality in mind. It’s your chance to extend warmth and to make visitors feel truly welcomed by giving them a luxurious retreat of their own.
For me, the starting point is always the bed. Layered bedding with crisp linens, plush pillows and a soft throw at the end of the bed signals comfort at first glance. I love the idea that when guests arrive, they immediately feel invited to sink in and relax.
Bedside tables should be as functional as they are beautiful—space for a phone, a glass of water and lighting that can be switched off without leaving the covers. Consider adding a few extra device chargers and cables to the drawer as a bonus. These details make the stay feel effortless.
Creature comforts matter in guest suites even more than in other rooms. A chair in the corner offers a private spot to read or catch up on emails. Blackout curtains ensure restful sleep. A soft rug adds instant warmth, making mornings a little more lavish. Even something as simple as an empty drawer or a luggage stand communicates that the room was designed with your guests in mind.
And then there are the finishing touches—the ones that make a stay feel indulgent. A vase of fresh flowers, a glass water carafe, a few curated books or magazines on the nightstand, a high-end candle with a matches. These quiet luxuries remind your visitors that their comfort is a priority.
The most memorable guest suites aren’t grand or overdone—they’re thoughtful. They anticipate needs, layer comfort, and feel like an extension of your hospitality. When you design with intention, your guests don’t just stay the nigh —they feel truly at home.
