Prepping a Guest Room With the Help of a Storage Unit

If you love hosting parties, organizing get-togethers, and even offering your home as the meeting place during Christmas or Thanksgiving, having your guest room ready for your friends or family can truly change their experience. A comfortable, clutter-free space shows your guests you truly care about their stay.

While using a guest room as a multipurpose storage room may work temporarily, it can leave visitors feeling like an afterthought rather than welcomed. To help you create a guest room that feels intentional and inviting, here are a few simple steps to get started.

Clear All Clutter From Your Guest Room

Is your guest room filled with boxes of clothes, unused furniture, your old bike, or items that no longer have a place in your home? Because guest rooms aren’t used daily, they become the default spot to stash belongings out of sight.

It might seem tricky to clear everything from that room, especially if space is already tight in the rest of your home. Do not fret! StorageMax wants your parties and visitor stays to be unforgettable and clutter-free, which is why we offer affordable self storage units in many sizes. Store anything and everything you need and restore order in your home.

Decluttering Tips for Small Spaces

It can be difficult to know where to start. Here are some decluttering tips that can be useful:

• Take it one step at a time. If the room feels unmanageable, break the process into smaller sessions to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
• Sort by category. Create clear piles for items you’re keeping, donating, tossing, or placing into storage. This makes choosing the right storage unit size much easier.
• Use hidden storage wisely. Items you want to keep at home can be stored neatly under the bed or inside attractive storage bins placed throughout the room.

Guest Room Organization and Comfort

Once the clutter is gone, it’s time to bring warmth and comfort back into the space. Focus on a few simple details that help your guests feel at home:

• Add comfort. A fresh coat of paint and some cozy throw pillows make the room feel intentional, not like a walk-in closet.
• Provide necessities. Leave a basket with travel-sized toiletries and the WiFi password.
• Fresh towels. Nothing says welcome like a stack of fluffy, clean towels waiting on the bed.
• Make room in the room’s closet. Ensure your guests have enough room available to hang their clothes comfortably.
