Designing a guest room (from Michael Fior)
Relaxation Zone – Lounge chairs, accent/reading light, ability to view television, occasional table(s)
Work Zone – Lounge chairs(s) at an appropriate height for
desk work may eliminate the need for a desk chair.
Consider a roll-out computer stand under the desk – better
height for PC work, more workspace when needed.
Requires task lighting, power, phone & internet outlets
Sleeping Zone – Most often double-double or queen-sized.
Queen-queen and king are more luxurious options. Note in this
example the desk lamp does dual duty as a bedside lamp.
Dressing Zone - Clothing storage – hanging and drawers. Storage for emptied luggage. Possible full-length mirror, or mirrored closet doors. Potentially secured storage for valuables.Consider the newer, combined storage concept for a more residential look
Bathing Zone – designs should
increase lighting quality; enlarge the
countertop and mirror. Compartmentalize
the toilet and/or tub/shower`
Connecting Door – only if this unit can form part of
a suite
Entry – may be shared with other rooms, and may be recessed or flush
