Bunking kids with their parents works especially well when your kids are very young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we all know, kids are different.&nbsp; While some may take it in stride and view it as an adventure, others may find sleeping alone in a new space scary, even when they\u2019re in their own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So figure out what is best for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are, of course, other deciding factors like the size of the bed needed for your guest(s).&nbsp; In the end, that may ultimately be what factors into your decision the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Side note: If you\u2019re about to make a transition from a toddler bed to a twin, consider upgrading to a full size instead.&nbsp; This will give you a lot more flexibility in the long run.&nbsp; Not only will you have extra space for relatives to sleep comfortably, but your home will be more marketable as a short-term rental a la Airbnb (if you\u2019re considering that).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-730x730.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-730x730.png 730w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-410x410.png 410w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-636x636.png 636w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-140x140.png 140w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-90x90.png 90w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-110x110.png 110w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-320x320.png 320w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-560x560.png 560w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo By Oblesiabilkei<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-day-to-night-switch\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Day_to_Night_Switch\"><\/span>3. <strong>Day to Night Switch<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a spare room with a door that you can convert, consider doing a day-to-night switch.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is most commonly done in the living room.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have a pull-out sofa or an air mattress, converting your living room into a makeshift guest room at night is a viable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a private room with a door is preferable, this is just fine for a short 1 or 2-night stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A room divider or curtains will help to increase privacy and seclusion in this open setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember to be mindful of your guest late at night or early in the morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss plans for the morning before you say goodnight so that they aren\u2019t startled awake by banging pots and pans at 6 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801.png\" alt=\"no guest bedroom solutions\" class=\"wp-image-163543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801.png 750w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-570x397.png 570w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-636x444.png 636w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-600x418.png 600w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-90x63.png 90w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-110x77.png 110w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-320x223.png 320w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-560x391.png 560w, https:\/\/diannedecor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-e1646191777801-150x105.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo By Katarzyna Bialasiewicz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-airbnb-staycation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Airbnb_Staycation\"><\/span>4. <strong>Airbnb Staycation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easier than ever to find affordable, comfortable, accommodations out of town and in town.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be surprised to see just how many of your neighbors have their homes listed on sites like Airbnb and VRBO.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of sending your guests to a hotel and having them commute back and forth to your home or apartment to visit, do an Airbnb staycation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find a trendy place in your area that\u2019s a tourist hot spot with lots of things to do and offer to stay with them.&nbsp;
