You know that feeling when a hotel room is just perfect? The toiletries are well-stocked, the bed is comfy, and you love the towels and sheets. You can create that exact same effect in your guest bedroom! Here are our picks for guest bedroom essentials:
DECOR
1| A cushioned headboard

Nothing says comfort and hospitality like a classic cushioned headboard. It will enable guests to read or use their computer comfortably in bed, turning the guest bed into a work and leisure space.
2| Cafe table and chairs

When your guests aren’t in your super cozy guest bed, they’ll need a space to work, read the paper, and check their phone. A café table and chairs are a space-saving way to provide an extra work and eating space. Place a washable rug underneath your café table to catch crumbs.
SUPPLIES
1| Extra blankets, towels, and pillows
We all have different preferences when it comes to comfort. Some folks like extra pillows, while others love super soft towels after a bath. Stock up on these items—we suggest two sets in different colors, one for each guest, so that they can tell them apart.
2| Snacks
There’s nothing worse than midnight munchies when you’re at someone else’s house and don’t feel comfortable rummaging through the fridge. Put a small snack basket with crackers, cookies, and granola bars out for hungry visitors, and they’ll love you forever.
3| Extra phone chargers
‘Nough said! Keep an Android and iPhone charger set on-hand for guests. This wireless charging dock is a super nifty and modern choice.
4| Lots of storage

This applies especially to those without a big closet in their guest bedroom: storage is key to guest comfort. We love cubbies like the above example because it keeps your guests’ items out of sight for extra privacy and tidiness.
5| Garbage can
We all need somewhere to put stray threads and wrappers.
6| A big clock
Put a large, stylish clock on a wall that is easily visible from anywhere in the room so that groggy guests know what time it is first thing in the morning—even before they look at their phone.
