Do you have a guest room? Spruce it up with these 19 guest room things to make sure it has everything your guests need. Check out!
If you’re expecting overnight guests during the holidays, this is the perfect opportunity to spruce up your guest room and ensure it has everything your guests might want during their stay. Whether they’re traveling from across the country or just over a few states, your guests will be grateful if you’re able to anticipate their needs.
The best way to do it is: think about what you’d find in a hotel room, and make that your template for your own guest room! Hotels make it their business to practice good hospitality, so why not take a page from their book?
If you feel at a loss when it comes to hosting guests in your home overnight, copy what the good hotels do and you’ll have a four-star guest room by Christmas!
Here are 19 Things that Every Guest Room Needs:
1. A place for guests to set their suitcase
You might not have an actual suitcase rack, but you could clear off a low dresser or end table. Or if nothing else, have some furniture-free floor space along a wall.
2. An empty (or relatively empty) closet with extra hangers
Getting rid of junk will make your home more comfortable for people, and here’s a prime example– Instead of cramming the guest room closet with stored stuff, leave space for your guests to hang up their clothes and stash shoes and extra bags. You might also want to clear out a few dresser drawers for their use.
3. Instructions for accessing the internet
Put the WiFi password on an index card, and let your guests know how much you’ll charge per day for internet use.
