Please, please do not make your guest room the junk room. Â The last thing your guest wants to find are your old clothes in the wardrobe or extra table linen in the dresser drawers! Â Keep under the beds, clean, clutter and dust free. Â Make sure the towels & sheets are clean with no stains. Â None of your family photographs or other memorabilia either and no sign of the guest who was there before. Â They also won’t like broken alarm clocks, lights and fans!
You know the saying “Guests, like fish, tend to go off after three days”….so when it comes to guest bedrooms it is best to find the happy medium.  You don’t want them to stay tooooo long, but  while they are there you would like them to feel welcome and comfortable.  You also want them to feel like they are getting a bit of hotel luxury too. So, a clean, neutral space with a good comfortable mattress, good pillows and empty closets (with hangers) and drawers.  Clean stain free fresh linens on the bed and fluffy towels.  Spare blankets, and hangers or pegs for their clothes.  A table or surface that is clutter free, and good bedside lamps for reading are a must.  Books, magazines. local maps and places of interest are good to allow you a few hours to yourself when they go out!  A small chair for sitting in or laying clothes on could be handy and a luggage rack/place to put a suitcase if space permits too.
Toiletries like the courtesy soaps, shampoos and lotions you get in hotels are a great way to make some one feel welcome.  A spare key and garage door opener is also good if you don’t want to be disturbed at night. You can add lavender bags on the pillows and in the cupboard. Or a scented candle is great  in cupboards as the smell is beautiful when you open the door/drawer and it can be used if they want added romance or there is a power cut!  Cut flowers, fruit,  a carafe of water and glass are all welcoming.  Anti-Mosquito plug ins, sunscreen and a fan are a good idea in summer too.  This guest basket idea is also a great to contain all of these things.  Check out http://bobbleheadbaby.com/?p=2850
Abigal Ahern, decorator extraordinaire, is also full of how to add a bit of interest inexpensively to your guest room. Â Take a look at:Â http://abigailahern.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/pallet-bed-frames/
Well that has given you another room to get sorted, so give yourself a deadline by inviting some one to stay. Lets hope in return for your well thought out bedroom your guest offers to cook lunch or organise drinks and nibbles before dinner. Â Then they definitely will be invited back.
