Provide a Comfy Bed
Get your guest a comfy bed, Adriana from Maidforyou advises. A comfy bed means a good rest. Good quality and comfortable mattress prevents sleep discomfort, backaches, and other body pains, giving your guest a good night’s sleep. A queen size mattress is most ideal as you can easily fit it in the room without taking too much space.
Put Extra Linens in the Cabinets
Accidents are inevitable! Wine and coffee spills are minor accidents that could happen. Do not make the guest feel uncomfortable by asking for extra linen. Do the initiative. Fill the cabinets with fresh linens, pillowcases, blanket, and towels.
Provide a Comfy Sitting Area
Get the coffee table ready. Put some of your favorite reading collections. Get the hot tea and coffee prepared to make your guest feel at home while reading. The ideal corner for the sitting area is next to the window for natural lighting and a nice view. There should be a lamp close by for nighttime reading.
Set up a Small Table with Chairs
Provide a small table with a few chairs for your guests to sit on while having snacks, drinking coffee or enjoying cocktails. Make sure to provide extra utensils and table napkins. Setting up an extra table in the balcony (if you have one) is a good idea.
Consider the Lighting
The guestroom needs general light that is not too bright or dark. There are different types of lighting systems that can help achieve such a standard. Lighting should also be considered for privacy purposes. In addition, curtains can help make better lighting and can also improve the ambience of the room.
Make Room for the Luggage
Allow space for the guest’s luggage. The guest will appreciate a small bench, table or chair to lay their suitcases. No guest wants to leave their bags on the floor!
Make a space
Clear the closet, cabinets, drawers and countertops. The guest needs space for his/her stuff. Do not forget to leave the clothes hangers and hand-held clothes iron inside the closet. Make sure that the vanity tops are cleared and cleaned. You also need to leave space for your guest’s shoes and slippers.
Provide the Basics

Set up an Entertainment Corner
