There’s something I find incredibly comforting about a guest room with matching twin beds.

I think it might be the symmetry. It appeals to my desire for balance. Just look at the gorgeous matching beds in this bright, fun room from Better Homes and Gardens.

Or it could be nostalgia. When my sister and I stayed at my grandma’s house as kids, it was always in a room with two twin beds sitting parallel. We would giggle until we went to sleep but there was no kicking or fighting over the covers in the middle of the night.

But mostly, I think I’m drawn to the practicality of a guest room with two beds, even though it’s not what I have in my own home.

A room with two twins is perfect for kids. A couple can use the room but so can a couple of friends — without the uneasiness of a shared bed.

I think rooms like this look best when the beds are matching as they are above and in most of the photos below.

Above is a room created by John Willey Interior Design and photographed by David Jacquot. I love the beautiful butterfly duvet covers, the gorgeous shams and shades, and the custom-ordered Moorish-inspired carpet on the floor.

The pretty room above in lavenders is from Better Homes and Gardens. The simple bedding is such a great compliment to the floral wallpaper. This is too country for my own home but so sweet that I’d love to be a guest here.
