Big holiday hosting ideas for small spaces
Are you a holiday host without the most space? Or someone who loves to entertain and needs to regularly flip your not-so-large living room into a welcoming, comfy sleep space for your overnight guests? IKEA designers are here to help you create a cozy, extra special space where everyone can celebrate, relax and snooze in comfort.
Comfy living room by day, cozy sleep space at night
Your living room is the centerpiece of your gatherings, but you can quickly transform it into a comfortable hotel for guests with multi-purpose furniture and a few clever, affordable solutions. It starts with a sofa that can double as a sleeping area – but that’s not all. Storage! A sofa with built-in storage can also help organize your overnight guest essentials, like blankets, comforters and pillows for easy access.
An easy-to-move side table can double as a nightstand. Dimmable, remote-controlled lights allow you to change the vibe in the room, from bright to dim depending on what’s happening.
Show your guests some extra love
When creating a great sleep environment for friends and family, consider the air quality. Plants are a beautiful, natural way to style your space, and they also contribute to cleaner air. An air purifier is another affordable way to reduce allergens and pollutants – and provide a white noise effect – to improve sleep.
Want to go the extra mile to make your guests feel special? Make a special basket packed with sleepover care items, like slippers, a sleep mask, bathroom essentials and more. Trust us, they’ll love you for it and be excited to come back for another night!
