Impress your Guests: The Well-Appointed Guest Room
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
We search for comfort in our own homes of course, but what about when we invite others to stay? Guests may have different requirements to feel at home during their stay with you. Keep your loved ones in mind with these helpful tips and tricks.
A guest room’s main focus is to create a comfortable space for someone to sleep during their stay. A welcoming bed with fresh linens will be a sight to behold for a tired guest. Including fresh flowers or an easy to care for house plant will help liven up a room that may not be used on a day-to-day basis.
Key Takeaways
- Create a comfortable Well-Appointed Guest Room with fresh linens and plants to welcome your guests.
- Provide plenty of pillows, blankets, and a stylish basket for extra towels to enhance comfort.
- Include a bedside table for charging devices and a design element to the room.
- Offer WiFi passwords and basic toiletries to make your guests feel at home.
- Set up a small work area for guests who may need to check in with work during their stay.

Make sure to provide access to plenty of pillows and blankets. You may be accustomed to your home’s temperature, but your guests will not! Stylish baskets add flair to the room while also providing a visible location for extra blankets and towels.
The Perfect Bedside Table: Functionality Meets Style
Next to the bed, make sure to provide a usable table. Everyone travels with a cellphone, at the very least, that will need to be charged. Having a table location both near the bedside and near an outlet would be a welcome sight for nightly phone charging.

The bedside table also gives you another chance to add some design flair to the room. Pick something classic or add a pop of color to the room. If you’re short on space, hang the reading lamp from the ceiling or wall instead of providing a table lamp.
Thoughtful Touches for Guests: Enhancing Your Home for Travelers
Seemingly small touches will be immensely helpful for a traveler. Your home’s WiFi password is usually one of the first questions a guest will ask so they can access local resources.
When packing, your visitors may forget a toiletry or two (I’ve forgotten my entire toiletry bag!). Invest in a large glass jar and fill it with sample sizes that you have around or have collected from past hotel visits.
Include an extra toothbrush or razor for a complete kit.
Thoughtful Amenities for Guests: Designing a Functional Work Space
Visits may not be all about leisure time. In our ever-connected world, your guests may still need to check in with work back home. Providing a small work area in the guest room gives your guest a quiet space to plug in for a short period of time. The work area will also give the room another day-to-day use for your family when you don’t have guests in the house.
Small touches let your guests know that you’re thinking of them during their stay. Help them have a happy and comfortable by including some of these tips in your home!
