Beautiful design for your Guest
Furniture January 19th, 2010
EACH room in the house has its own nuances. The main room, kitchen, bathroom, family room, to bedroom for your guests. Yes, your guests. Guests staying at your house can be an enjoyable moment.
Therefore, give them the best room you have. Of course not mean you should give your bedroom to the guest. But, you should design a special room for guests to be comfortable as your own room.
You must have experienced when he was not home sick at home. Once all your guests. Whether it’s from the distant relatives or old friends you’d feel different when not at home. It is your job to make them feel like there are in your own home.
Spare bedroom does not need too much like the main room. However, it does not mean arbitrary arrangement only. The first thing you notice is the color of the room. Do you want to use regular wall paint or wallpaper?
If you want to use regular wall paint, you’ll want to use pastel colors and neutral like brown, beige, white, off white, or gray.
“The color pastels and neutral colors give the impression of a peaceful and cool. In addition, the impression is also soothing,” says interior designer Budi Santoso. “If you want a little playing with color, you should choose soft colors like pink, light green, or blue,” said Budi.
Actually light red color can also be used, but it means the color tone of the surrounding wall should be more soft. Do not paint the entire wall with a red color. Simply one and combine with other colors. Meanwhile, if you prefer a wallpaper as wallpaper, try to select the motifs that are not too crowded. Maybe you have a taste of his own, but remember, not you who will occupy these rooms. So remove your ego a little.
Choose a floral motif or motif balls. Paisley motif or the line is also good to be applied. But, it would be great if the motifs are only located in the suburbs, while the middle plain. The bed is the second important thing you should look. Whether it’s a permanent bed, sofa beds, futons, or a cot, they need to feel comfortable when laid.
Do not forget to give the pillows, bolsters, and blankets as a complement to mandatory bed. Although the guest bedrooms, including rooms that are rarely used, but do not forget to change the sheets when you want to use. “Although never slept in, bed linen is rarely used can be smelly,” said Budi. You can also use any type of mattress air mattress. This mattress can be adjusted based on the desire to wear them.
If not used anymore, it just stayed dikempeskan mattress and can be folded and stored in the closet. Provide adequate lighting in the room. In addition to the light coming from the window, give too light with enough wattage so that it can illuminate when needed, either to read or perform other activities. You can also give a reading light on top of each sideboard to the left and right side of the bed.
Besides functioning as lighting, can also serve as a garnish. Privacy is a thing that should be provided to your guests. Therefore, make sure the windows are layered curtains. Maybe you like a thin curtain, but not necessarily your visitors also liked. Provide adequate curtains can protect the inside of the room from outside. To make it more interesting, give a unique pattern and color on these curtains.
You definitely need a wardrobe room to put her belongings. So, give the cabinet enough to accommodate those goods. No need jumbo cabinet, provided there is a place to hang clothes, put his trousers, and drawers to store valuables.
If the guest bedroom was spacious enough, you can also add other furniture such as tables and chairs and dressing table with mirror. But, if the room is narrow, better forget about the table and chair, and replace the function of the wardrobe dressing table with large mirror. Aside from being a place to put clothes closet can also become a means to get dressed. Very save place
