Spare room ideas

With the addition of a bed, sofa bed, or futon, you can turn a spare room into a bedroom for overnight guests. If you want a space-saving guest bed, folding beds or day beds are ideal choices. Keep a basket of towels at the end of the bed or some extra blankets if they get cold.

Turning a spare room into an office space is a great idea, especially if you need a quiet place to work. All you need is an office desk, a chair and a filing cabinet or set of drawers for sorting out your paperwork and clutter.

With the help of shoe racks, shelving units and hanging rails, a spare room can be transformed into a walk-in wardrobe. In this space, you can organise your outfits and get ready in front of a full-length mirror.

A spare room can be easily converted into a play space for kids. Decorate it with kid-sized furniture, stuffed animals and shelves of picture books. Get them involved in the decorating too - it'll make the space feel more like their own.

If you love video games, then you might want to set up a dedicated gaming area in your spare room. Kit it out with a purpose-built gaming desk, a comfy gaming chair and some cubby storage for your games and tech gear.

Have a hobby? Then why not use this space creatively. Try to incorporate a mix of different storage boxes and baskets, so you can keep all your craft tools and supplies organised and ready for when you need them.

Turn your extra room into an easy yet cosy haven for your guests. Opt for a lightweight, portable, and foldable bed to tuck away easily when not in need. 

Make room to stretch with a sofa bed. Pick between your choice of styles to match your décor, and subtly solve any sleeping and seating arrangements.

Foldable and fabulous, these comfy little numbers can work in any room. Use it as a gaming chair, an extra seat around the TV or conveniently flip out as an emergency bed for an overnight guest.

Create a sleep sanctuary for your visitors by stocking up on all things bedding. From pillows and sheets, to mattress toppers and cocoon-able duvets.

Use overdoor or wall hooks to create a handy storage spot. Great for hanging coats, or towels in the bathroom. You can even get creative and hang baskets for storing bits and bobs or perhaps some planters to add some freshness.

Ditch the wardrobe and go for open rails instead. This will help to keep your room feeling airy and bright.

Add some personality to your spare space with a gallery wall full of prints.

One lump or two? Assemble a hotel style drinks station with tea and coffee for the morning.

Place cosy comforts like cushions and throws near your guest bed or draped across chairs.

Your guests will never want to leave with little luxuries like fluffy towels and smellies.
