Sometimes the practical thing to do is to put a pair of twin beds in a single guest room as opposed to one larger bed, in order to maximize the number of people who can sleep in a home. But the nature of smaller-sized beds can give a kiddy vibe to the space because we are so used to seeing them in children's bedrooms.
Thankfully, we have discovered several ways in which to give some age and wisdom to these types of designs. When creating a sophisticated bedroom to contain a pair of twin beds, it's important to choose colors that one isn't used to seeing in a kids room. This will immediately alert the eye to the fact that something is different than expected in the space. Elegant textures, patterns, and art will also help to make the statement.
If you can arrange the room so that the two beds can be pushed together, they can have the added function of sleeping two guests separately but provide a wide canvas to decorate in an adult manner as you would any other bedroom. Upholstered headboards in luxurious fabrics are an immediately mature touch in a space. And finally, if all else fails, some over-the-top luxury has a distinct way of declaring "no kids allowed."

Love the 2nd and 3rd images!
I love the way the prints in the 2nd picture are centered over the lamp and side table rather than the headboards. It makes for a really interesting focal point that defies the usual jack-and-jill kidsy feeling of twin beds.
Interesting but I think I'd go with a trundle bed if I needed that much sleeping space.
Second pic is gorgeous. I love the color and simplicity. My mother and I share dreams about a twin-bed filled guest-attic.
My favorite is the yellow #3. I have been wanting to do this in a guest room in our house for some time.
I absolutely want to do this in my next guest room...
...'cause the idea that Mom and Dad might actually (blank) when visiting - Oh yes, Twin Beds definitely!
I find all of these a bit 'matchy', but I do like the idea of twin beds in a guest room - so much more versatile than a great big double bed taking up most of the space.
Interesting but I think I'd go with a trundle bed if I needed that much sleeping space.
Trundles are great for kids, and acceptable for young adults, but it's a little much to expect older guests to scrabble about on the floor.
I like the idea of twin singles, both in terms of providing beds for two guests who aren't a couple, and for the icky reasons raised by bepsf :)
BTW, could the designer of the room in that first image have picked a worse bedside table? It's beautiful but a curved edge table is no good for a nightstand.
We have our spare bedroom set up like a little studio apartment with a mid century sectional day bed / sofa in an "L" shape. The two pieces can be placed next to each other to make a full / queen size bed or left as is for two people who might not want to wake up spooning. You can check it out on my blog. I'd put a link here for your convenience but apparently it's against the rules and I don't want to get booted again for it. ::shrugg::

@Blandwagon - If I have 2 guests overnight, it's almost always a couple, or 2-3 sets of couples. In that case... a full size bed, and a full size trundle bed to pull out from underneath that is going to be more useful than 2 twins. I guess I just don't have very many single friends/family.
But who am I kidding my guest room can barely fit a bed and a dresser as is. Anyone else is gonna sleep on the couch :)
My husband snores and hogs the bed. I wouldn't mind one of these rooms for myself!
Pretty, and none of the rooms look as if they were for kids.
love all the pictures!! I'm inspired and would love to do a twin room one day!!
