Guest Room Essentials To Have On Hand
Stocking your guest bedroom with stylish, yet functional accents makes your guests feel right at home. Thoughtful essentials like a water carafe for late night refreshment, a valet tray to act as a catch-all, a throw blanket to get cozy, and a vase for some fresh-cut blooms all work to create a welcoming atmosphere that lets guests know they are in good hands and their comfort is your priority.
Add a Well Stocked Nightstand or Two
If space allows, adding in a nightstand or two provides another surface for guests to keep their daily essentials or for you to leave a nice gift or welcome note to greet them. Nightstands should balance your bedframe and overall room aesthetic, while ample storage and display space in the form of drawers, shelves, or doors, keeps your room clean and clutter-free.
Make Their Daily Routine Easy with Swing Arm Lamps
Good lighting is just as important in a guest bedroom as it is in the primary bedroom. Creating an atmosphere with layered lighting is an important aspect to decorating your guest sleep space. Like a world class hotel, having ample bedside lighting that is easy to adjust to your needs is a great touch, especially for those guests who climb into bed looking to read at the end of the day.
