As the world slowly begin to open, people are starting to travel. Lets make our home available for our house guests. Being a great house host can make your guest’s trip wonderful. Check out these 10 Guest Room Must Haves.
Guest Towels
Have a set or two of guest towels readily available in your guest room. I like to also provide small toiletries for my guests. The basic things like a toothbrush, toothpaste, lotion and shampoo can be a time saver for your guest.
Comfortable Bedding & Pillows
Provide your guests with multiple pillows, extra blankets, and high thread count sheets. Although there is no place like home, a nice comfortable bed is the next best thing.
Reading Material
Often, our out of town guests may not be able to fall fast asleep or just want to read a local magazine to learn about local attractions. I keep a few books and magazines available.

Nightstand
A traditional nightstand or small table near the bed is a great choice for guests. The table can hold the bedside lighting and a place for your guest to sit and charge their cell phone.
Writing Table or Desk
Offer your guests a place to sit to use their laptop or write postcards or letters. It’s also a great idea to have a few postage ready post cards for your guests. All they’ll have to do is insert the recipient’s name and address.
Water & Snacks
Your guests may not want to roam the house and invade the kitchen in the middle of the night. It’s a great idea to have bottled water and a few snacks available for your guests.
Clock
An easy to see clock is a must for your guests, especially if your guests are from a different time zone.

A Place for Luggage/Clothes
Provide our guest with a place to store their luggage and unpack their clothes. If you can not give your guest a designated closet, consider a wardrobe armoire or chest.
TV / Internet Access
A small television is great for your guests. Consider purchasing a wifi blu-ray player or Roku (media streaming player) in lieu of cable or satellite. Your guests will be able to watch Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Pandora, or other internet services. Consider a small card with your wifi passwords and tv channel settings printed on it.
Mirror
A behind the door mirror if perfect if there is no room on your wall for a mirror.
