Here are my top tips for creating a perfect, welcoming guest room:

  1. Start with a comfy bed – quality mattress (or topper), soft sheets, and plump pillows are non‑negotiable.
  2. Add a small chest or dresser with some empty drawers so guests can unpack.
  3. Create a spot for luggage and travel gear so bags aren’t on the bed or floor.
  4. Keep décor simple and calming, not cluttered.
  5. Brighten things up with lamps, light wall colors, and opened curtains.
  6. Layer on creature comforts: extra blanket, reading lamp, alarm clock, books, fresh towels, basic toiletries.
  7. Offer little extras like a house key, snacks, and a few good books or magazines.
