What to Do With Your Guest Room Custom Closet When You Don't Have Visitors

Store Games and Toys That Are Only Used Occasionally

If you have kids, there isn’t any escaping toys. Kids learn by playing, and they toys available to them. However, you also know about those toys – the ones that you just don’t want them to be able to grab whenever they feel like it. Games and puzzles with hundreds of pieces, fingerpaints that you don’t want to clean off walls, toys that make sounds or music that you just can’t stand to hear every day all day.

A rarely used guest room closet is the perfect place to put the toys that you don’t want to give your child immediate access to, but you do want to have and let them use when you’re free to supervise or when a particularly noisy toy won’t be interrupting an important phone call. If your child only has a few things that you want to put out of the way for occasional use, you may not even have to find another home for them when guests do visit – just move the items to the highest shelves and clear the rest of the space for your visitor.

Store Your Out-of-Season Clothes

One way to get a spacious closet is to take out the clothes that are out of season and put those away until the weather becomes more appropriate for them. The question is where to put them. The guest room custom closet might be the perfect solution. It’s right nearby. It’s climate controlled. It has rods and shelves, so it can handle stored clothes in hanging bags or packed in boxes and bins.

You can often leave your own out-of-season clothes in the closet even when visitors come a-calling. If you have your closet customized with double hanging rods, you can store your items on one rod and leave the other empty for your guests. Boxes or bins can simply be stacked to one side, leaving a shoe rack or two available for use.

Store Holiday Decorations

The guest room closet may be just the right space for your holiday decorations, especially if you’re most likely to have guests during the holidays when you’ll have those decorations out of the closet anyway.

The AARP suggests gathering holiday items in one room to pack them up. This lets you easily see what you have, pack similar items together, and repair, launder, or get rid of decorations that are broken or no longer wanted. An empty guest room is a great spot for gathering the items for packing without getting in the way of anyone else in the house, and then you can move the boxes right into that closet.

Store Documents and Files for Home or Work

Did you have to make a choice between a home office and a guest room? Many homes don’t have the extra space for both. But since you don't have visitors every day, maybe you can have both anyway. With a Murphy bed, you don’t have to have a bed that takes up all the space in the room every day. This will give you room to work in the spare bedroom, and office furniture can be pushed to the side when you need to unfold the bed.

The guest room custom closet can be used to store the files and documents that you need for your job, or you can use it for home-related documents like tax returns, home and car paperwork, and other important documents. You could install a small safe for the most sensitive items. You may need to move these items out when you have a guest, or you may find that you have enough room to move them to shelves that your guest won’t need – it just depends on how much you need to store.

Conclusion

You don’t need to let useful storage space go to waste when you don’t have an overnight visitor. Your guest rooms custom closet can provide space for toys and games, clothes, holiday decorations, and even documents and files.
