Guest bedroom, ready for visitors

A calm room for visitors that works as a snug or a study the rest of the year.

In short

A Home4U guest room plan picks a 120 × 190 cm small double, a sofa bed or a day bed, leaves 60 cm for a case to open, and keeps the room useful as a snug or study when no one is staying.

What goes into a guest room plan?

Pillows, throw & linen, lamp, bedside and side table, each with a size, a finish and a check before it ships. Tap a dot to see one.

Pillows

Two sets, so a single guest or a couple both fit.

We check fill, covers and pillow sizes for Irish cases.

How much space does a guest room need?

Start from 120 cm small double for one or two guests and 60 cm clear space beside the bed. Your floor plan decides the rest.

Guest room questions.

Still unsure? Send us the room and ask.

Sofa bed or day bed for a small guest room?

A sofa bed if the room is a snug most of the year; a day bed if it is mainly for reading and the odd guest. Both leave the floor clear.

What size is a small double bed?

120 × 190 cm. A double is 135 × 190 cm if the room allows.

How do you make a guest room work the rest of the year?

Choose a sofa bed or day bed, a side table that moves, and hanging space behind a door, so the room becomes a snug or home office.

Send us the room as it is.

A floor plan, a phone photo, or the one piece you want to keep. We come back with a layout and a buying list.
