Got guests?\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got friends and family planning to stay with you for the holidays, we\u2019ve got the goods on creating a warm, inviting guest space with solid wood Amish furniture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite possible that as you start thinking about your holiday menu, the perfect gift for that family member who has everything, and the holiday recitals you need to attend for the kids, Great Aunt Ida will plan on coming to visit for a week smack dab in the middle of it all. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got a list to help guide you with guest room furniture options that fit the bill.<\/p>\n

Getting Your Guest Room Ready<\/h2>\n

Furnishing a guest room means selecting furniture that is warm and inviting, and will work for you. All of our solid wood Amish furniture is built with function and family in mind. Customizing your selections is what we do best, with the little details making all the difference.<\/p>\n

Begin with a Bed<\/h3>\n

Beds that offer storage and save you space are ideal for a guest bedroom. The Amish Old Mission Murphy Bed<\/a> provides a stylish foldaway bed with optional bookcases to provide reading material for guests.<\/p>\n

With a bookshelf, storage drawers, the Amish\u00a0Solana Loft Bed with Ladder<\/a>\u00a0provides room for guests to get organized, not to mention how fun it is for visiting cousins to sleep in bunk beds!<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

The deep drawers of the Amish Traditional Storage Bed<\/a> provide room for guests to unpack and prevent the uncomfortable feeling of living out of a suitcase.<\/p>\n

Create a Closet<\/h3>\n

Tuck suitcases away and provide guests with room to hang clothes in the Amish Torrent Mission Wardrobe Armoire<\/a> Built in solid wood drawers are perfect for storing extra blankets and pillows. Supply some hangers and tuck a bathrobe inside to offer guests some extra comfort.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

A chest of drawers like the Amish Redmond Wellington Chest of Drawers<\/a> provides space for guests to organize clothing for their stay. Tuck extra blankets in one of the bottom drawers.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Select Some Seating<\/h3>\n

Provide guests with a place to lounge after a long car or plane ride. The Amish Hartsville Mission Chair Bed<\/a> opens up to a bed for guests to catch a nap.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Provide a Nightstand<\/h3>\n

The Amish Custom Shaker Three Drawer Nightstand<\/a> provides room for fresh cut flowers, a clock, lamp and books. \u00a0Leave some water and snacks out to quench late-night thirst and cravings.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Add a Mirror<\/h3>\n

Let guests review their wardrobe as they get ready for an evening out with the Amish Edna Sleigh Beveled Cheval Mirror\u00a0<\/a>to show their sparkling reflection.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Create a Coffee Corner<\/h3>\n

Perhaps your visitors rise early. Provide a coffee and tea station in their guest room with the Amish Hardwood Bar Cart<\/a> to help serve. This way they won\u2019t wake the rest of the house while moving about in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Gear up in the Guest Bathroom<\/h3>\n

Keep extra fluffy towels with a basket of toiletries that guests may have forgotten in the DutchCrafters Exclusive Contadino Bathroom Vanity<\/a>. Be sure to include some handmade moisturizing goats milk soap for them to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"DutchCrafters<\/a><\/p>\n

No guest room? No worries. Supply your den, family room, or living room with the Amish Mission Queen<\/a> Sofa Sleeper<\/a> that performs double duty as a luxury sofa and cozy bed.<\/p>\n

\"Amish<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep family and friends comfortable and happy during their holiday visits with Amish-made furniture.<\/p>\n
