Be Our Guest(s): Twin Bed Guest Rooms
See Why the Versatile Twin Could be the Best Choice for That Spare Room
The queen bed has long reigned over guest rooms the world over. But for households with a steady flow of visitors, it's not always the most practical or versatile choice.
Two twins, on the other hand, can cover the gamut of visitors, from kids to singles, a grandparent or two — heck, even a younger married couple from time to time. (Who knows? They might appreciate the chance to stretch out solo.) So before you automatically think queen for your guests, take another look at the twin.

Twin beds are just wide enough for deep drawers. Include some and guests will always have extra blankets close at hand.
The perfect setup for a vacation cabin in the woods.
Girlie, but not drowning in pink.
Neutral colors are always a safe bet for keeping things gender neutral, too.
Twin beds are also more versatile when it comes to positioning in a small room. Here, a queen-sized bed might block the bathroom door.
For a little color, light blue is a restful shade that most everyone can agree on.
For the young and young at heart? Okay, so a bunk bed might be a hard sell for adult guests, but if the view to the left is a stunner, I imagine you'd have some takers.
