<p>If you have a spare bedroom, you have it to spare &ndash; but you do want to make sure your houseguests have the most comfortable experience when staying with you.</p>
<p>With our wealth of spare bedroom ideas, combined with your creativity, your visitors may never want to leave!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Check out our 7 tips below:</p>
<h2>1. Ample Storage Space</h2>
<p>Instead of having your guests live out of their suitcases, be sure to have ample storage space for their belongings &mdash; whether you empty out a dresser drawer for them or make room in the closet for both folded and hanging clothing. Additional storage vessels for bedrooms include:</p>
<p>&bull; Chest of drawers<br />&bull; Nightstand with drawers<br />&bull; End table with drawers<br />&bull; Storage bench<br />&bull; Storage ottoman<br />&bull; Storage trunk</p>
<p>As a bonus, a couple of these options &mdash; particularly dual-purpose furniture like storage ottomans and benches &mdash; lend to a clutter-free appearance, as they can hide smaller items you don&rsquo;t always need on hand.</p>

<h2>2. Basket of Toiletries</h2>
<p>Regardless of the journey, traveling with personal toiletries can be a thorn in one&rsquo;s side - struggling to fit everything into your suitcase, or want to pack lightly without buying travel-sized products. The obvious solution is to provide an arsenal of basic toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, a loofah, toothpaste, deodorant, and menstrual products.</p>
<p>If you wish to go the extra mile, you may choose to spoil your guests with a luxurious complimentary package: toothbrush, floss, ear swabs, disposable razor, facial cleanser, body lotion, and spa essentials, like bath bombs, shower gel, scrubs, and masks.</p>
<h2>3. Hotel-Quality Bedsheets</h2>
<p>Hotels shouldn&rsquo;t be the peak of rest and relaxation &mdash; there is really no reason why we shouldn&rsquo;t sleep well every night. With high-quality bedsheets, your guest can experience restorative and undisturbed slumber. Due to their durability, softness, and breathability, natural fiber sheets with a high thread count are typically used by hotel chains to achieve an optimal level of comfort.</p>
<p>According to industry experts, around a thread count of 300‒500 is ideal for soft, durable, and breathable sheets. Lower thread counts feel rougher and can wear down quickly, and while you can technically find thread counts upward of 1,000, it is typically a marketing gimmick, as these sheets don&rsquo;t offer additional softness or durability.</p>
<p><img alt="orange, white, and lime green towels folded on bed with white lily on top" height="400" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_canada/Ideas-Guest-Bedroom_3.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<h2>4. Extra Towels and Linens</h2>
<p>Accidents happen, so, when tragedy strikes, it is helpful to have an extra bedding set in the guest bedroom closet. Similarly, it doesn&rsquo;t hurt to have extra bath towels (including hand towels) and throw blankets in stock. The key here is to make sure they are easily accessible to your guest at any time. When you first show their guest where they are sleeping, be sure to show them where they can access these bonus amenities while you&rsquo;re giving them the tour.</p>
<h2>5. Charging Station for Devices</h2>
<p>Simple but effective, having accessible charging ports for your guests&rsquo; devices is a no-brainer given how tethered we are to our smartphones &mdash; not to mention that this accommodation will likely earn you the coveted title of &ldquo;the host with the most.&rdquo; Bonus points if you can provide a fast-charging option. You could install a surge protector or power strip near the nightstand so that guests can have multiple outlets for charging more than one device (be it a laptop, tablet, smartwatch, etc.). If you like to cultivate a high-end space, you may choose to have a wireless charger available to promote a cordless look.</p>
<h2>6. Smart Assistance</h2>
<p>A luxury add-on, a smart assistant can elevate your guests&rsquo; experience, acting as a virtual butler that tends to their every question and need. Engineered to do more than just rattle your house with your favourite music, smart speakers give users more control over their routines than ever before. A voice-controlled speaker can kickstart a series of actions, including giving you a personalized news bulletin, reading you the daily weather, going over your calendar, delivering the traffic report, and pumping you up with an upbeat playlist.</p>

<h2>7. A New Mattress</h2>
<p>As you reassess the state of your guest bedroom, check the quality of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/catalog/mattresses">mattress</a></strong></span>. Given that mattresses should ideally be replaced every 7 to 10 years for optimal comfort and hygiene, it might be time to shop for a new model. As you shop, it is in your best interest to explore different comfort levels (e.g., <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/catalog/plush">plush</a></span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/catalog/medium">medium</a></span></strong>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/catalog/firm">firm</a></strong></span>), mattress types (e.g., <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/catalog/memory-foam">memory foam</a></strong></span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/catalog/innerspring">innerspring</a></strong></span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/catalog/mattresses">hybrid</a></strong></span>), and reputable <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/brands">brands</a></strong></span>.</p>
<p>To suit a broad spectrum of sleep positions and body types, you might want to consider looking into a hybrid or memory foam mattress for your next model, as these are designed to last longer and minimize sagging. And for every guest&rsquo;s peace of mind, a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/catalog/mattress-protectors">mattress</a> </strong></span>and pillow protector will keep everything clean.</p>
