Do you have a guest bedroom?

You only need a guest bedroom if you want guests!

We have a spare room that's been used twice for guests in the last eight years, it serves more as a catch-all for the crap highly valuable and collectable stuff the husband brings home from work!

Our “guest room” has become the dumping room. There is a bed in there, but we haven’t had anyone stay in it recently (they slept on the big sofa in the family room, their choice). So, we just throw in there what we don’t want in the other rooms. That room is my big clean out project. One of these days.

I have a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo, 1200sf. The second bedroom is my office/den/crafting space/where guests stay. I have a good quality air mattress for guests. I really only have 2 people who come from out of town to stay, so the mattress gets used about 10 days a year total. I've considered doing a wall bed in there, but really can't justify the cost for that few nights per year.

If you haven't had an overnight guest in 10 years, I can't figure out why you'd have a dedicated guest bedroom. What a waste of space. Your house, YOU get to decide how to use the spaces  

We have 3 bedrooms. The smallest is DH's office. The next larger one was DD's room. There is still a twin bed in there, but I haven't seen it in months because the room became the dumping ground after our last remodel. It's next on the list of decluttering/purging. I don't plan to do much with the room as we haven't had an overnight guest in over 10 years. Both our families are very small and none of them have ever had an interest in traveling to see us.

Nope. I don't know many people who have a guest bedroom.

We hae a 2-bedroom apartment. The room DH and I don't sleep in is an everything room. It has our laundry drying rack, our ironing board, all my craft materials and a desk for me and also a pull out sofa. When we have guests, they sleep in there, but that is about once every year or so - the room gets used more often for its other purposes.

I have a guest bedroom/office. Not really an option for that in your poll.

"Why, yes, I AM going to use ALL the rooms.  When you decide to come and visit, let me know and I'll clean one up for you or you can sleep on the couch."

I’ve ever lived in a space big enough for a guest bedroom. I say it’s your house so you choose how to use the rooms!  Our current home has two bedrooms. One was supposed to be an office/craft room...I had it all planned out and ordered the desks for it. Then my dd and dgd needed to relocate so now it’s their room. When they move out I will have a room for me. Dh has his desk and computer in our bedroom so that room will be all mine!!

I used to have a 3 bedroom house with an office. I had my master bedroom and used the office. I made one room a guest room and put a little couch in the other to make a reading nook. Guess what—I never went in the guest room or “reading nook”, and you guessed it—they ended up becoming dump holes.

I am much happier now in a 2 bedroom townhouse, I have my bedroom and office, which I use daily. Ironically now, I do need a guest room, because I have a brother who moved out of state who visits frequently for weeks at a time. But he uses my aero bed in the office and is quite happy.

I do. I'm family central -- I have houseguests all the time. I'd say every few weeks someone stays here. Every few months I have more people than beds -- good thing I also have four couches.

I'm also the house for holidays. Our families are spread out and they all come to visit multiple times per year.

I would like to have one, for the one or two times a year my sister comes to visit.  I think it would be just a little bit nicer for her to have her own space, and then she could go to bed early if she wants.  And preferably, that would come with her own bathroom so she can stay out of mine. LOL.

It's part of my "someday, when I win the lottery and buy a house" plan.

But my father also claims he's going to move in with me for his twilight years, so maybe it's better that I not.

We have three bedrooms and only one bath. In both houses. When my son moved back to the other house, his room will be my crap room. The other room is daughter's room.
If he wants to set up a guest room in the other house, he can but I doubt he will. He paints miniatures, and needs a room for that. And I think he will be getting a room mate.

The other reason for no guest room, we are not overnight guest people. We sleep until 7 and like to mosey around. I don't like to get up at 5 to make breakfast.

I voted no, but I feel like I should.

We moved last fall.  In our old house we didn't have a basement and the house was very small so we used the third bedroom for storage.  

Our current house is much bigger and has a basement so we didn't need the third bedroom for storage.  So I thought we'd have a guest bedroom that would rarely get used (all close family lives nearby).  But we allowed dd to get two guinea pigs and apparently they need more space than a traditional cage.  So they have a pen like thing on the floor of the third bedroom.  

DD is spoiled and so are her guinea pigs!

ETA we plan on finishing part of our basement in the next year or two and adding a bedroom and bath so then we will have a guest bedroom just in case.  It will probably be used mostly in cases of either dh or I being sick or snoring and the other wanting to sleep in peace!  Dh has been sick with a cold and slept on the couch for several days.  He said it wasn't very comfy!
