For a comfortable and luxurious guest bedroom opt for an upholstered divan bed complete with a soft headboard and pocket-sprung mattress. Divan drawers are perfect for storing spare blankets and sheets in a small bedroom. Or for a little country style, a metal bed frame in an antique white or pewter finish teamed with a classic quilt will create a cosy look. A simple, minimal style is a good choice for a dual-purpose space, such as a spare room that needs to work as a study as well as an occasional guest room, and if you're buying for a child or teenager’s bedroom, choose a design that will grow with your child’s changing tastes. Take a look at our pick of the best designs.
