Essentials for the Perfect Guest Bedroom by Home Zone Furniture

Filling your guest bedroom with essential items can create a haven of comfort for your guests. Providing your visitors with everything they’ll require for a cozy stay, such as a luxurious bed, comfortable bedding and fresh towels can also bring you joy, knowing that your thoughtful hospitality is making their visit more enjoyable.

Essential Furniture

To find out what essential items your guest room needs, try spending the night in the bedroom as if you were staying in a hotel. If you’re pressed for time, use our guide to discover the guest bedroom essentials you should have on hand to welcome your visitors. 

A Comfortable Bed

A comfortable bed is at the top of the list, as your guests will likely spend most of their time in the room sleeping. Ensure you have a quiet and sturdy bed frame and a medium to soft mattress for a cozy night’s sleep. You can always invest in a quality firm mattress and soft topper to better tailor the bed to your guests’ sleeping preferences. 

Comfortable Bedding

Cozy bed sheets are perfect for lulling your guests into a restful sleep. Invest in some quality sheets, and be sure to wash them before your guests arrive so they smell and feel fresh. You should also make the bed with plenty of time to spare before your visitors knock on the door, so you can enjoy their company rather than still rushing to set up their room. 

Bedside Tables

Every guest needs a place to put their phone, jewelry and watch before climbing into bed, so bedside tables are on our list of essential items. If your room is on the smaller side, you could place one nightstand next to the bed or get tables that are on tall legs, such as our Allie design, to create the illusion of more space. 

Dresser

A dresser is essential for your guests to store their belongings during their stay, and they can easily organize their clothes and access what they need without rummaging through a bag or suitcase. Dressers are also low maintenance for you, and most bedroom sets have a matching one making your room decor seem effortless. 

Other Guest Bedroom Essentials

You can go above and beyond to create a luxurious room for your guests by including a selection of other essential items. You may already have these things in your home, yet perhaps you wouldn’t think to put them in the guest bedroom. 

Full-Length Mirror

If you’re having guests over, then you may be taking them out to an event where they care about their appearance. A full-length mirror can make it easier for your guests to get ready and feel confident their outfit meets their expectations. 

Basic Toiletries

Remembering to pack everything they’ll need for the trip doesn’t always go to plan, so having a few essential toiletries on hand can put your guests at ease. Travel-sized toiletries such as mini toothpaste, a spare toothbrush, shampoo and body wash are ideal for guest rooms. 

Fresh Towels

Lay out some quality towels on the end of the bed or roll them up and arrange them in a basket. This saves your visitors from having to ask for towels or hunt around for any. You can opt for a complementing color to your room or go for classic white, which makes it easier to bleach out any makeup marks. Just make sure the towels are large and absorbent. 

Extra Pillows and Blankets

It can be challenging to know whether your guest is a hot sleeper or feels the cold, so be sure to place an extra blanket on the bed that they can easily layer on top of the comforter. As some people are very particular about where they lay their heads, having extra pillows of various thicknesses and softness is sure to impress your guests.

Lamps

Bedside lamps create a warm and welcoming atmosphere when your guests are ready to unwind for the night. If they’re avid readers, it also allows them to relax while reading in bed without needing to get back up to turn off the light. Be sure to have two lamps on either side of the bed if you’re hosting a couple so they can control the lighting independent of the other person. 

Trash Can

Keep a small trash can tucked into the corner of the room or in the guest en suite. This essential item can ensure the room stays tidy and leave you with less trash to pick up once your guests leave. 

Miscellaneous Items

Your guests are sure to love any extra care you put into your guest room, such as your Wi-Fi login information written on a piece of paper, an extra phone charger, a water bottle and a few snacks. You can nicely arrange these in a welcome basket similar to a luxury hotel. Other features such as flowers and candles can make the room appear more inviting. You could also consider placing practical items in the room, such as a laundry basket and luggage rack to store away suitcases if your guests are staying for more than a few days.
