The Hotel Experience: Basement Guest Room Ideas

When designing your guest room, whether it is in the basement or another room in the house, try and imagine what it is like to be in a hotel room. It is a relaxing, clutter free space that has all the little amenities you could need for your stay. The basement guest room ideas I’ve listed out in this post, look to make your guest feel right at home.

Keeping the Space Clutter Free

You want to try and recreate the hotel experience in a guest room. So try and avoid storing things out in the open. If you have to store things in the same space, then either use decorative and good looking storage containers (like a wicker hamper, a wooden trunk), or hide it out of the way with a DIY room divider (Ideas Mood Board: DIY Room Dividers).

Simple Decorating Ideas

Keep the decor simple, and avoid cluttering up the space. Some simple ideas include a framed painting above the headboard, or a decorative lamp.

Try and decorate the space through the functional and feature pieces in the room.

Reminder: Different states (and countries) will have different rules about turning a basement into a bedroom. This is all about safety. Some places will require you to have windows that a person can climb out of. So double-check your local laws before turning your basement into a guest bedroom.
