GUEST BEDROOM ESSENTIALS

GUEST BEDROOMS CAN BE TRICKY AS THEY MAY HAVE MULTIPLE PURPOSES.

Guest Bedroom Essentials - how to prepare your guest bedroom to make all your guests feel at home.

Hey there! At times, guest bedrooms serve as the home office or a craft room. Perhaps, your guest room is seldom used or used frequently. In any case, consider all that apply to this guest bedroom essentials list will determine what your most essential items are. Ultimately, you want to make your guest feel comfortable and make their stay as easy on you and them as possible.

HERE ARE SOME GUEST BEDROOM ESSENTIALS THAT EVERY GUEST BEDROOM SHOULD HAVE

• A comfortable bed/mattress with a plush mattress cover, high thread count linens, soft and firm pillows and a comforter.

• A bedside cabinet or two, lamps, a comfy chair, and a bench or storage ottoman at the foot of the bed.

• Towels, extra blankets and if possible an extra set of linens.

• Hangers in the closet and some shelf or drawer space.

• Some magazines and or/books, accessories and perhaps fresh flowers.

These guest bedroom essentials are sure to make your guests feel like they're at their own home.

This list pretty much sums it up, however; I would add an option to filter morning light on the window, toiletries, sundries in case your guest have forgotten anything. Always a good idea in case it runs out to provide extra TP in the bathroom.For a super luxe hotel feel, provide a plush bathrobe, hair dryer, lavender sachets by the bedside for more relaxation.If you have a small refrigerator in the room, it would be super special to provide cold waters and simple, fresh snacks like fruit and cheese. Perhaps some dry snacks in a basket on the counter such as granola bars and crackers. You are sure to impress your guest and make their stay a hit. To make it perfect, provide a kettle and tea or coffee maker, coffee, a couple of mugs, creamer, spoons, and sweetener. These looks almost decorative if displayed in fancy containers or boxes. TIP - If you like going to flea markets, garage or Estate sales look out for odd silver spoons. It doesn't matter if they are not matching, but a couple of silver spoons by coffee/tea are bound to add a very distinct touch.Is your guest room is simple, small and you don't have "Luxe"? You can make it very welcoming just with a clean room, fresh linens, blankets, and towels. Flowers from the garden and a couple of magazines will give your guest everything they need to be comfortable if they want to spend time in their room.Even when your guests are family make it easy for you and your guests by anticipating some basic needs. If your guests don't have to ask for extra TP, you don't have to run around finding it when you are busy with other guests or entertaining; this is particularly the case if you host during the holidays.
