7 Simple Touches That Make a Guest Bedroom Extra Comfy

Having guests over? You don’t need a five-star setup—just a few thoughtful touches can make your guest room feel cozy and welcoming. Here are seven little things that go a long way:

1. Extra Toiletries
   Think travel-sized toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, and maybe a spare toothbrush. It’s the little things they’ll forget—and thank you for. I tucked some into a hanging basket on the wall so my kids woulnt’t get into them.

2. A Tray for Jewelry or Pocket Stuff
   A small dish or tray gives guests a safe spot to drop rings, earrings, keys, or coins without them rolling under the bed.

3. Easy-to-Reach Outlet by the Bed
   Nobody wants to crawl under a nightstand just to charge their phone. Bonus points if there’s a USB port or an extra charging cable. We found these on an extension cord that work great.

4. A Chair to Toss Clothes On
   It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just a spot to throw tomorrow’s outfit or keep a bag off the floor does the trick.

5. Clear Dresser Top Space
   Give them a surface to spread out a bit—whether it’s for makeup, a laptop, or their morning coffee.

6. Blackout Curtains
   Sleep schedules vary, but everyone appreciates the option to snooze without sunlight blasting in.

7. Layered Bedding Options
   A lightweight duvet plus another quilt or blanket at the end of the bed lets your guest choose what feels right for them.

You don’t need to spend a lot or redecorate. These small, practical touches make a big difference—and help your guests feel truly at home. I shared a few more ideas and how I styled them in this video.
