Things to consider while designing a guest bedroom.
A bedroom is a place where we relax. Depending upon the age
group normally bedrooms are categorized as master bedroom, teen
bedroom, child/kid bedroom.
But a home building may also have a provision for a guest
bedroom in it. If the architect of the building has taken enough
care while designing the building, a guest bedroom is located on
the ground floor.
I have seen home designs where a guest bedroom is deliberately
located on ground floor and used as a income source by giving
the room o rent. This is common practice in crowded cities.
Because of its location on ground floor it is easy to give a
separate access to the space without disturbing the privacy of
the entire house.
Ideally a guest bedroom should have a good natural lighting and
ventilation. A good view of the surroundings from the window is
also appreciated. It is like treating the guest bedroom just
like the master one.
Good quality furniture with easy access to attached toilet block
is also strongly recommended. The most important aspect
according to me is cleanliness. Since a guest has a very limited
time span to spend in his bedroom, it is extremely important to
take care of hygiene. A room which is easy to clean and maintain
is preferred.
A bedroom, which is too small in area, will have restrictions as
far as experimentations in design are considered. By
experimentation I mean trying different furniture layouts or
decorating ideas will be somewhat restricted.
A good example to study, is to start with bedrooms in large
hotel. All rooms in a hotel come under the category of "guest
bedrooms" The only difference is, we "pay" to stay there, which
is not the case with a bedroom in our home. The architect of the
hotel takes good care of providing natural
sunlight and
ventilation and a good view of the surroundings. Thought now a
days most hotel rooms have air conditioners to artificially
control the internal environment, a provision for natural
control is a must.
Use of dark colors can be avoided. You can always try to be a
little creative while designing the guest bedroom. The reason
here is, the guest is there at your place probably to have a
change in his daily routine life and if a room in YOUR home
gives him such a nice feeling of "change" then he might visit
again the next month.
As mentioned before in most cases the guest bedroom is located
on the ground floor. This can be used creatively to provide an
access to the landscaped backyard or an open patio with informal
seating. The space must have a provision for sliding or folding
door shutters so that can be easily closed if required.
So the entire success of the guest bedroom design project lies
in finding out how the guest feels when he/she lives there. Was
she comfortable there. Did she find things easily. Even small
things like light and fan switches, water taps in bathrooms,
wardrobe shutters, door and window hinges etc.. must be kept in
well maintained and proper working condition for the guest.
Small thing add up and can become a reason for uncomfortable
environment for the guest. That's the meaning of the statement
"easy to maintain" which I mentioned above in this article.
I hope this article was informative to everyone.
