What are Carolyn Scott's top tips for setting up a perfect guest room?

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

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