Guest Bedroom Storage Opportunities

While guest bedrooms can be convenient for guests, chances are they are not the most used room in your home. In the current situation, some may be using their guest rooms as offices, virtual school for their children, or an in-home gym. To fully utilize your guest room, make sure no space goes unused with these storage ideas.

  • While your guests need some of the closet space and dresser drawers, you could also use some of that space for additional storage. Storing additional blankets in the bottom dresser drawers and hanging off-season or infrequently used clothing items in the closet are common ways to free up space.
  • Beds with built-in drawers provide an additional storage opportunity, but you can also use plastic containers with wheels for easy access to seasonal items, like clothes that are out of season.
  • If the guest nightstand has drawers, it can be a great place to store a smaller household items not currently in use or season like candles and picture albums.
  • Furthermore, don’t hesitate to put in a desk, especially an aesthetically pleasing desk like a writing desk, to maximize space during these unprecedented times. Guests are rare and this is your home, so make sure the home is used as you need. Your guests won’t mind!
