No Guest Room? No Problem! Create the Perfect Guest Space in 4 Easy Steps

By John Doe

The holidays are the perfect time to bring friends and family together. But what if you don't have a spare room for guests who plan to stay awhile? Before you send them to a hotel, try these quick tips to instantly create space for them in your home.

Give a Good Night's Sleep

The first thing your guests will need is a place to sleep. Don't relegate them to the couch or to your toddler's bed; invest in an air mattress instead. Modern air mattresses are just as comfortable as your own bed thanks to features like automatic inflation, extra height, and padded tops. And once your guests have gone, you can put the deflated mattress into a closet or into storage.


Provide Privacy

It's always difficult to stay in someone else's home, but you can make it easier for your guests by providing them with some extra privacy. If you're using part of a room or an area with no door, you can close off the entrance by hanging a curtain with a simple tension rod, or use a folding screen to section off a private area of the room.

Give Them Space to Spread Outno-guest-room

Once you've chosen the room or area where your guests will stay, you'll need to remove as much furniture and clutter as you can to create space for them to move around. They might have suitcases, some shopping bags, and other personal items to keep nearby. You should also clear part of a table or shelf so they'll have a place to keep things like glasses, jewelry, and mobile devices each night before they go to bed.

Put Away Your Personal Items

Whether you're using a corner of your home office or part of your living room as the new guest space, be sure to remove any personal or breakable items. Box up private papers, and pack away any knick-knacks that are extremely delicate or valuable. All of these items are best kept in your garage or in your storage unit until your guests leave.

Frequently Asked Self Storage Questions

What size storage unit is right for me?

Finding the right storage unit depends on the number of possessions you plan on storing at our facility. The more items you have, the more space you’ll need. At every Bluebird facility, we offer units ranging from below 5’ x 5’ to 10’ x 30’ or even larger, so you can find the right amount of storage space. To find the right unit size, explore our Storage Unit Size Guide or read this resource to see which unit fits your needs best.

Can I buy boxes and packing supplies at Bluebird?

Yes! If you’re about to move into a storage unit, our facility offers moving and storage supplies that help protect your belongings. Our supplies range from boxes, packing tape, mattress and furniture covers, and so much more!

How long can I rent a unit?

We don’t have any long-term agreements at Bluebird, so you can rent your unit for as little as a month or two or upwards of a year if you’d like! If circumstances change, we can always extend or shorten your storage stay with us.

How do I access my storage unit?

You, selected family, and any business associates can access your local facility by using our secure keypad entry using a personal security code. Individual units are protected by a lock that is only accessible by the customer. Only contacts you authorize will be able to access your unit.

Typical daily access hours are from 6AM - 11PM, so you can always access your stuff when you need it. Check with the location nearest you for more information about access hours.
