Custom closet systems Providence

With kids off at college and in-laws already making holiday travel plans, many homeowners find themselves wondering if it might be possible to repurpose the kids’ old rooms into functional guest rooms. The answer is yes, and it’s easier than you think! Our designers help create beautiful, functional guest rooms that can serve a variety of other purposes when you do not have company. Here are our tips to create a multipurpose guest room that is both welcoming and functional.

Sophisticated Sleeping Spaces

Wall beds are a convenient alternative to sleeping on the sofa or putting guests in a makeshift sleeping space, and they blend in perfectly with your existing home décor. Our wall beds are discretely hidden behind cabinet facing to maintain a sophisticated look for your room without compromising space. Some homeowners even redecorate and conceal their wall beds with large art pieces. Wall beds are never folded, which helps maintain the integrity of the mattress so your guests can sleep in comfort and wake up rested the next day.

Lighting

We always advise homeowners to add lighting to their wall bed spaces because it creates such a pleasant ambiance for visitors. Custom lighting is a great way to highlight the sleeping space, provide soft light for reading, or even enhance your guest’s space with some functional design. We often install lighting alongside our wall bed offerings to save space and provide illumination without the need for additional fixtures.

Storage Space

Install a spacious storage area where overnight guests can stow their luggage and keep their belongings out of sight during their visit. These cabinets and shelves can also be used for file storage, workout equipment or anything else you need. This keeps the room functional in many capacities – even when you do not currently have guests. Like lighting, storage can also be built in to our wall bed options. It the all-in-one storage solution that fits every home!

Built-Ins

Built-in organizers or custom closet systems are a great way to provide extra luggage storage for guests who are visiting Providence and surrounding cities for extended periods of time – or even to get more space for yourself if your guest room serves another purpose the rest of the time. This is a great place to keep extra sheets and blankets in case your guests get cold at night. Stow fluffy bath towels in a pull-out basket so your guests have easy access.

Room Dividers

If your guests are sharing their sleeping quarters with your home office, yoga retreat or study set up a divider or an attractive floor-to-ceiling curtain to help bring privacy to the space. This will help designate where your guests’ personal area begins and ends – and allows them to have control over their level of privacy during the visit.

Finishing Touches

Welcome your guests with some small details that let them know you’re excited to have them! Arrange freshly cut flowers in a vase, set out a carafe of water, and leave a small light on in the room so it looks inviting when your guests arrive. Set out some reading material in case your guests prefer to read before bed, and make sure the room is equipped with a working alarm clock. Stock a basket with travel-size toiletries and place it prominently in the bathroom so your guests will know they are free to help themselves.

Travel is exciting, but it helps to be well-rested so your guests can enjoy any adventure that comes your way. With these tips (and maybe some help from the professionals), it’s easy to create a welcoming guest room out of absolutely any existing room in your home!
