Inside: 47 Office Guest Room Ideas.

If you are lacking space in your home, consider creating a multi-purpose room by combining a home office/guest room to host overnight guests. This space could be a spare bedroom that you use for the occasional guest or for storing unused clutter. With some cleanup, this space can be transformed into a highly functional and attractive room.

Plenty of our homes have an additional bedroom that we like to describe as an “office/guest room combo.” In reality, what many of us have is a glorified storage room. Sure, there’s a bed, and in a pinch, the clutter can get stacked against the wall to make space for an overnight guest.

But this room deserves so much better.

Here are some tips that will turn this guest bedroom/home office into a truly functional space that you and your guests will love!

Tips for Decorating Office Guest Room

Keep the Design Light & Minimal: When you go into any modern cafe where freelancers spend their days working and sipping coffee, you’ll notice the design tends to be fairly uniform from one coffee shop to the next: Clean lines, white walls, minimalist, sturdy furniture, earth tones, etc. This aesthetic works so well for a guest room/home office combo for two reasons: It creates a distraction-free atmosphere where you can feel productive when you’re working, and it’s easy to clean and tidy up.

Don’t Put Too Much Furniture in the Room: This room doesn’t need much more than a bed, a desk, some storage space, and perhaps a chair. By taking a minimalist approach to designing, you create a space that can be shaped for multiple purposes.

How to do Storage?

Open Shelving Makes Tidy Storage Look Great: With open shelving, the room looks a little more convertible between office and guest room modes. Anything that normally goes on the desk can be tucked away into a basket and placed on the shelf for easy access once your guest departs.

Use Containers Liberally on Your Shelves: Too many storage containers on your shelves can make your guest room feel more like a storage room. Stick to visually-pleasing containers, and leave some open space on your shelves.

Bins Give Your Organization System a Softer Touch: Fabric storage bins downplay the office feel that the room might take on overtime. When guests arrive and see this kind of organization, they will appreciate the cozy, uncluttered environment you have created.

Best Beds

A few great bed options for a bedroom/office space include:

Daybeds: It can function as stylish seating when the room is in office mode and comfortable sleeping when the room is in guest room mode. You can use the area under the daybed as storage space as well.

Murphy Bed: Convertibility is the key to making this room work. Because the bed will take up most of the space in this room, it’s best if you can tuck the bed away somewhere when you need to get work done.

Best Desks

When guests do stay over, you want them to feel as if they have their own personal space in your home. If your guest room/home office is dominated by a large desk, however, it might make them feel like they’ve intruded on your personal space. A smaller desk will make the room more inviting for guests.

Another great option is a rolling desk, they will definitely keep the room convertible. When guests are coming over, you can simply roll your workspace into a corner, a closet, or another room (if possible).
