The time has come to unveil the secrets behind your dream guest bedroom. We’ve all been there, right? You don’t know where to begin with your guest bedroom. What kind of bed? What kind of sheets? How much should you spend on a mattress if guests will only use it 4-5 times a year? In this post, I’ll share my tips and tricks for making sure you’re 100% ready when guests arrive.
Make the space feel warm and inviting by adding a cozy throw and some pillows.
- Add a cozy throw and some pillows.
- Don’t forget to add a small basket with snacks and drinks.
- Make sure you have a charging station for phones, laptops, and tablets.
- Provide nightstands on both sides of the bed so each person has their own space for reading/writing or making phone calls in private.
- Add fresh flowers to your guest room—it will make it feel warm and inviting!
A small basket with snacks and drinks can help your guests feel at home.
- A small basket with snacks and drinks can help your guests feel at home.
- It’s not just for kids, either—a variety of snacks is important for adults, too.
- Snacks that are both kid-friendly and adult-friendly are ideal since they can be enjoyed by everyone in the family.
A basket of snacks is also great if you have pets who get hungry during their visits!
Make sure you have plenty of clean linens and towels, as well as extra blankets for those chilly December nights.
You don’t want your guests to be cold, so make sure you have plenty of clean linens and towels, as well as extra blankets for those chilly December nights. This will also help ensure that their stay is as comfortable as possible.
If you’re planning on using your guest room primarily for guests who are staying for a week or longer (like the holidays), it might be worthwhile to invest in some more permanent bedding options—an air mattress with an electric pump might be a great way to go if you want something that is easy to inflate and deflate when necessary!
Provide a charging station with an alarm clock or lamp so your guests can easily charge their phones, tablets, or other devices.

- If you have a guest room that is home to many of your friends and family members, it’s important for them to feel like they are at home when they stay with you. A charging station will make them feel more comfortable in the space, especially if it has an alarm clock or lamp. It’s also really easy on the eyes!
Place a box of tissues in case someone gets sick, along with a small wastebasket for trash.
Tissues are a great addition to your guest room because they can be used for sneezing, cleaning up spills, wiping makeup off brushes and fingers after applying it, and cleaning nail polish off of hands and nails when you’re done with it, and so much more!
- Place a box of tissues in case someone gets sick, along with a small wastebasket for trash.
Provide nightstands on both sides of the bed so each guest has access to them.
- Provide nightstands on both sides of the bed so each guest has access to them.
- Each side will need a lamp, clock, and small wastebasket (for tissues).

Lay out travel guides or magazines featuring local attractions so visitors can learn more about your area.
- Lay out travel guides or magazines featuring local attractions so visitors can learn more about your area.
- If you have a TV, make sure it’s tuned to one of the main channels that cover local news (or set up a streaming service on your laptop).
- Consider leaving reading material by the bedside table so guests can easily find something interesting to read while lounging in bed. If you’re feeling especially helpful, consider subscribing to some magazines that might be of interest to them (e.g., National Geographic).
Add fresh flowers to help make your guest feel welcome.
- Fresh flowers are a good way to add color, a fresh scent, and a fresh look to the guest bedroom.
- They can also be expensive, which is why we recommend using fake flowers. They’re not as pretty or fragrant as real flowers, but they’ll make your money go further.
