Guest bedrooms are often used throughout the year, so low-maintenance materials and easy-to-clean surfaces are crucial elements of the guest bedroom. Laminates are very scratch, stain, and fade resistant, meaning that even if you use your guest bedroom infrequently, it will continue to look as good as new. Laminates come in a wide variety of colours, textures, and finishes so that when designing furniture from laminate, it can be easily matched to the existing decor of the rest of your home.
In addition to colour, laminates are ideal for use in guest bedrooms due to their neutral and soft tones, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere for all guests.
Smart Storage Solutions for Guest Bedroom Design
Effective storage solutions will allow you to keep your guest bedroom tidy and comfortable. The following are examples of smart storage solutions:
- Laminated wardrobes with sliding or handleless shutters – great for maximising storage area but not taking up valuable floor space
- Tall cabinetry in laminates that are light coloured, further providing vertical storage and making the room appear larger
- Bedside units with drawers that conceal items out of view
- Wall-mounted cabinets for bags and other necessities
- Storage benches/ottomans that are finished in durable laminate, making them functional and stylish
Smart storage solutions will provide a streamlined and functional guest bedroom design layout.
Fold-Away Furniture for Multi-Functional Guest Bedrooms
The versatility of fold-away furniture allows guest rooms to serve multiple purposes. Fold-down beds (Wall Mounted), sofa beds, and Murphy beds made from laminates can be hidden from view until needed; thus, making the room available for use as a study, hobby room, or lounge area when it’s not being used as a guest bedroom.
Laminated fold-away desks and tables increase flexibility, aligning perfectly with the current interior design trend of turning your home into a multifunctional environment.
Design Considerations for Guest Bedrooms
Consider the following when designing your guest bedroom design:
- Use laminates with light tones to create a more airy feel inside
- Choose one laminate finish throughout all the furniture pieces used in the room for visual continuity
- Use matte and/or subtly textured laminates to reduce glare from lighting
- Combine laminated furniture with warm and soft lighting for comfort
All laminate furniture should be from a brand like Royale Touche Premium Laminate Collections to ensure all of your storage units and fold-away furniture have the same consistent finish, making your interior design coordinate easily.
In Conclusion
Smart storage and fold-away furniture made of laminates completely change the way we think about guest bedroom design today. The mix of flexibility, durability, and thoughtful interior design enables homeowners to create a guest bedroom that is elegant, organised, and adaptable while providing comfort for guests and practical use for every day.
