How to furnish a guest bedroom in La Cala de Mijas

A guest bedroom in La Cala de Mijas works well when visitors can arrive, unpack and settle in with a place for their belongings. If family or friends stay at your home, consider storage, lighting and walking space alongside the bed itself.

The three catalogue images in this guide show two bedroom arrangements and a wardrobe option. They offer ideas to explore for your room, with dimensions and finishes confirmed on enquiry. The main photograph is reference CAT04_04; find the full selection in our furniture gallery.

Choose the bed around your guests and the available space

Think about who usually visits: one person, a couple or relatives with different needs. Compare the complete footprint of each option, including the frame, headboard and access on either side. A bed may fit between two walls yet leave little room to change the sheets or open the wardrobe.

If you are considering convertible furniture because the room has another purpose, check its dimensions both open and closed. Decide using the room plan and your guests' needs. The catalogue interiors shown here have double beds and help illustrate the relationship between the bed, headboard and surrounding furniture.

Provide a useful surface on each side

A place for a phone, glasses or a drink makes the room easier to use. Check socket and lamp positions, and compare bedside height with the mattress in place. In the image below, the surfaces on either side form part of the visual arrangement around the headboard.

When enquiring about an arrangement like this, ask which elements are included and how they are installed. Our headboard and bedside furniture guide offers other ways to compare the combination.

Set aside storage your visitors can actually use

Keep some hangers, a shelf or several drawers free. A wardrobe filled with household possessions leaves guests living out of a suitcase. For a stay of several days, a mix of hanging space and room for folded clothes can be useful.

Check access to each internal section and the space needed to pull drawers out. A sliding door also needs an interior arrangement that works with its opening. Our guide to bedroom storage in Mijas explores how to plan those choices.

Plan the lighting and walking route before decorating

Observe the early morning light and how much privacy the window needs. Compare fabrics according to their intended use and check the care instructions. Our guide to curtains and cushions is a useful starting point.

• Keep a clear route between the door, bed and wardrobe.
• Allow an accessible place for a suitcase without blocking windows.
• Check that the lighting can be switched off comfortably.
• Leave a surface free and spare bedding easy to find.
