Wouldn't you love to create a great guest space for your family and friends who come to visit? Use this basement idea and create the perfect guest room for your friends and family.

We all know how awkward it can feel to visit someone and not have a place to sleep. You either find yourself taking one of the kid's rooms or you are bunking out on the couch. Spare your own guests from that awkwardness by providing them with their own guest room.

In order to implement this great basement remodeling idea, you need to clear out your basement. Here is what you will need to get this basement project underway. - A nice paint color for the walls - A heavy duty rug or perhaps even carpet - A bed set with matching sheets, pillows, shams and bed skirt - A few chairs or a small couch for a nice guest sitting area - A small dorm-sized refrigerator to leave snacks and refreshments for your guests. - A side table with a clock - A bill to give to your guests for their stay... just kidding!

Paint the walls in the color you have picked out. Try and get the colors to coordinate with the bed comforter and any furniture in the room. For example, choose your favorite color from the bedding and use this as your base for the foundation for your design.

Put your flooring in. Either your rug or maybe carpet. Now you are ready to move the furniture in. Situate it to flow nicely in the room, you don't want the space to feel cramped.

There are some finishing touches you can add to your guest room to make it even more special. A small pot for coffee and some coffee packets are a nice addition. Make sure to add a mug or two to go with it.

Add some beautiful scented candles on the night stand, and place a television somewhere so your guests can watch a little late night t.v. without disturbing the family members.

Your guests will feel more welcome because they wont be sleeping on the couch or kicking someone out of their room. This is one of the best basement ideas, especially if you have a lot of people visiting during the holiday season. Have fun and enjoy your guests.
