Adding little touches to the guest room can make your friends and family members feel more at home when they come to visit. If you have never tried out your guest room, this is the first step you should take. Sleeping one or two nights in the guest room can give you ideas of where improvements can be made. For example, a mini kitchen with a small coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator stocked with beverages and snacks can ensure your guests have everything

they need. It can be difficult to fall asleep when you’re away from home, but familiar items such as tea and cookies can help you settle in. Other considerate touches include a private telephone, local phone book, full-length mirror, quality hangers in the closet, disposable cameras, the daily newspaper and books. Details like this can make longer stays more enjoyable and relaxed, so your guests don’t feel like they need to rush back home.
