twin beds or queen in second guest bedroom

11 years ago

Soon to move into our retirement home away from all the family and friends. We have a extremely comfortable futon (queen) in one guest room and debating on whether to get another queen bed or twin beds for 2nd guest room.

I designed a retreat center in Northern California that wanted a versatile way to accommodate guests. I used two twin beds that were on casters that we could roll together and make a king bed. Home Improvements has a product that creates a king from two twins. Simply put a heavy mattress pad and king sheets and you have converted your twins into a king. I used a two very small night stands in the center when it was twins and then set them to the outside when the room was set up with a king bed.

That depends on who you expect to be visiting. Since you already have a queen bed available to guests, my first instinct is to get two twin beds for the second room. You can always push them together and fill in the gap with foam or a rolled up blanket if you need a larger bed.

Sure sarah -- the bed is Target, believe it or not, as is the chandelier. You might even find a better deal on the lighting. Here's the rug at rugs direct: http://www.rugs-direct.com/ShopDetail/Details/160707/Surya/CandiceOlsonModernClassics/CAN1982/WinterWhiteTanFlintGray Here's the bedding: http://www.bellahomefashions.com/hotel-style-borderline-white-tan-7pc-duvet-comforter-cover-and-sheet-set-p3298.html I threw the mirror in as a splurge at $2K from Coastal Cottage, but if you keep your eyes open, you'll find something at Home Goods. And these are the curtains: http://www.halfpricedrapes.com/pearl-white-thai-silk-curtains-drapes.html

I would also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool.

not alot happening at the moment, its winter! alotta rain, lotta. but i am bedding down to get this over with and maybe in the spring the spirits will rise once more. i hope so. i would love to feel i was doing something to keep my hopes and dreams alive, i dont see what i can do until the spring. when i bring the topic up, especially to those that moved away and came down this neck of the woods, they say they had friends who felt it was too far too and moved back home. i guess thats how i feel, thats what i want and i just want to be a bit more uplifted, i think rain dampens down things a bit!!! santa Ma Margaret!

Just my husband and me. Guests will range from married couples to some of my gf's looking to get away for a long weekend. And various grandkids along the way. We live in the Golden Isles so I hope to create a somewhat beachy effedt in this one particular room. Has a white shelf around the entire room about 1/4 down from ceiling and the room is approx 12 & 14'.

Twin beds are more flexible and look great for a change.

I'd suggest go for double beds rather than a queen or twin, B/c when your grand kids will come they might fall of the twin bed during sleep when they roll ;lol ; plus they will take more space as twin beds will require space to move around on both sides and your room size is 12x14 so why waste space .

I agree with twin beds since you have a queen in the other guest room already.

Jo - Would go with the twin beds as well, lots of flexibility for grandkids, girlfriends, etc.

Thanks everyone. I agree, given the different groups that will be visiting I think twin beds are rhe way to go. And I love Scott's idea of moving the beds together for those who want to cuddle that creates a king from twins. This is my first post to Houzz and I am loving it.
