Unless you have a large family or extended group of friends, chances are you don’t frequently have overnight guests. If that’s the case, your guest bedroom is untouched space. To better utilize this area of your home, we have a few ideas to maximize the storage.

• Dresser: You can keep the top two drawers empty for your guests, but the rest can be used to store items that you don’t want boxed away. If you have a small closet, the guest dresser could even house your off-season clothes. Another idea is linens not in use, if you don’t have a linen closet that is.
• Under bed storage: You can either get a bed with built-in storage drawers underneath, or you can buy the plastic roller containers for easy access to your items.
• Ottoman: An ottoman will be a great place for your guests to sit as they put on their shoes and also has an aesthetic value. Additionally, some ottomans provide center storage.
• Nightstand: The guest nightstand, if it has drawers, can be a smaller place to house items like candles not currently in use, seasonal decor, and other small items.
