We don’t all have the luxury of a dedicated guest bedroom but even if the room your visitors sleep in doubles up as something else there are a few simple inexpensive things that you can do to make the most of the space and make your guests feel welcome.
Clear some space on a surface so that your guests can lay out their personal items. Use a decorative tray, some scented candles and a few old books to add interest to a plain desk or shelf. Adding a freestanding mirror, gives visitors somewhere to hang their jewellery as well as the option to check their appearance before they leave the room. Find an old mirror at a flea market or car boot sale and spruce up the frame with a coat of paint.
Adding a few simple but useful items onto a bedside table such as a lamp, tissues and a glass of water means your guests will have everything to hand - without falling over objects on the floor in the dark!

I'd love to have a room to set up as a guest room,not because we have a lot of stay, just so I could decorate it in a homely and welcoming manner for my guests to enjoy. I like the idea of little touches as described above to make someone's stay that little bit special x
I agree, it's always nice to ad that special touch for your guests. x
