How to Make A Guest Space Comfortable

You don’t have to have a dedicated room for guests, but you can do a few simple, inexpensive things to help make them more comfortable.

These little things go a long way to help friends and family feel welcome and relaxed, (plus you probably already have most of this around!) - clean linens, a set of towels for each person, an extra pillow/blanket, night light, alarm clock, water bottles (and snacks if you want!), a few notes about how to work the TV and about your area. As a minimalist, you don't have to go overboard, just include purposeful and helpful items.

While it’s nice to have a designated guest space, it’s totally unnecessary - especially if you host infrequently or consider guests when you make furniture purchases (ex. a pull-out couch). I love multi-purpose and multi-use pieces!

A small toiletry basket in the bathroom is awesome to keep tucked away and pull out when guests arrive and covers anything they may have forgotten. Most of this you probably already have extras laying around, or if you want to “stock” your basket, go for travel-sized items.

🌼Asprin (travel bottles or packets)
🌼Tums / stomach medications
🌼Makeup remover wipes
🌼Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, lotion (gender neutral or set for men and set for women)
🌼Blow dryer and a few hair accessories (bobby pins, hair spray)
🌼Feminine hygiene products

Once of my favorite things about having guests is taking that extra step to really make them feel welcome. It’s those little touches that make them feel appreciated, and are great for easing the travel transition.

Love hosting? Tell me, what is your favorite thing about it?
