While they\u2019re not expecting a luxury, five-star hotel experience, it feels good knowing your guests feel welcomed and comfortable in your home. Here are some simple tips for creating a guest bedroom that will make your guests feel like home.<\/p>\n<h2>Fresh linens<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure the bedding is fresh and ready for your guests when they arrive. Also, consider having an extra set of bedding in case accidents happen or their visit extends a couple of weeks. \u00c2\u00a0A deep basket is a great way to stash extra guest towels, pillows, and blankets in the room.<\/p>\n<h2>Have a fully-stocked nightstand<\/h2>\n<p>Nightstands help keep the essentials within easy reach of the bed. Make sure your nightstand is outfitted with a lamp, clock, tissues, and a place for them to charge their devices. You can also place a water pitcher and some glasses so your guests won\u2019t have to try wandering into your kitchen during the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<h2>Provide plenty of storage<\/h2>\n<p>Most guests don\u2019t need to fully unpack during their stay but, be sure to provide plenty of storage options for their things. An extra chair, ottoman, or bench can be used as a place to put their clothes or suitcase (or you can also place a luggage rack in the room as well). An elevated surface makes it easier for guests to access their bags during their stay. Also, include hangers in the closet for anything they may want to hang.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep the essentials on hand<\/h2>\n<p>Consider providing travel-sized essentials like soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste and an extra toothbrush on hand. Guests will appreciate having these necessities, especially if they\u2019ve forgotten something! Another great idea is having the wi-fi password on hand for them as well. Save guests the hassle of asking for the password (and spelling out a complicated one) by printing the information on a card.<\/p>\n<h2>Welcome your guests home<\/h2>\n<p>You can create a dreamy guest room that even you\u2019ll want to stay in!
