Guest Room Essentials
Essential #1: Message Board with Wifi Password
A message board in the room is a great way to put down different information your guests may need to know. In fact, most guests will need to know the wifi password. With this board, you will easily be able to keep your wifi password posted no matter when you have company.
Essential #2: Charging Station
For a tech-savvy upgrade from a typical charger, put one of these charging pads on each side of the bed. Nonetheless, your guests will love that they can charge their phones easily during their stay.
Essential #3: Bottled Water
No matter what season it is, traveling can be dehydrating. With water in the room, they will surely be able to stay hydrated.
Essential #4: Mirror
With a mirror in the room, your guests will quickly be able to get ready without having to stand in the bathroom to do so.
For a mirror that makes for the best makeup application, check out this one by Lumina Pro. By including this in your guest essentials checklist, you can provide the best lighting for your guests no matter where the guest room is or what the lighting is like in your home. Plus, the mirror has Bluetooth speakers. What guest wouldn’t want to stay in your home?
Essential #5: Tissues
Additionally, by placing a box of tissues on each nightstand, your guests will appreciate that they won’t have to run into the bathroom time and time again during their visit.
Essential #6: Lamp
With a bedside lamp, your guests will feel right at home. They won’t have to rely on the room light, which is always so bright.
Essential #7: Sound Machine and/or Fan
So if you already have a ceiling fan, then this may help your guests alleviate noise levels in their room. Depending on what they are used to, sleeping with a sound machine is a great idea to drown out the background noise. For instance, you may not want your guests to wake to your 1-year-old screaming in the crib.
Essential #8: Steamer
With this little steamer, your guests will be able to easily prepare their clothes in their room. Actually, I do not even use an iron anymore, I just love the steamer process so much more. You may even want to get one of these for yourself.
Essential #9: Toiletry Must-Haves
Just like the hotels or in the bathroom at weddings, it is always nice to have a little toiletry basket prepared. Moreover, you can select some of your favorite toiletry items that your guests may like to have on hand. Also, with travel bottles, they can just take them with them too.
Essential #10: Hair Dryer
For light packers, this is such a nice thing to have on hand for your guests. I always appreciate it if someone has a dryer for me too. It is just one less thing to pack, so it will definitely be appreciated.
Essential #11: Waste Basket
For all of those odds and ends, it is so nice to have a waste basket in the room. Plus, one with a lid is ideal.
Essential #12: Luggage Rack
Also, having a luggage rack or at least a piece of furniture to put a suitcase on is really helpful. Your guests will definitely like not having to bend over or sit on the floor to get to their items.
Essential #13: Towels, Hand Towels, and Washcloths
Having these towels ready to go and easily accessible will allow your guests to get in and out of the shower without searching for the essentials. Personally, I love these particular towels because they are so soft and dry so quickly.
Essential #14: Towel Rack
Having a towel rack in your guests’ room is always beneficial. This way they can reuse their towels and know exactly where they are. Furthermore, this is especially necessary if they are sharing a bathroom too.
Essential #15: Coat Rack
For another clothing storage option, it is great to have a coat rack for your guest. They do not just need it for their coats and jackets, but they can use it to hang their other items as well. Also, I love that there is additional storage with this rack option for your guests’ keys, jewelry, and more.
Essential #16: Candle Warmer
Of course, a candle warmer isn’t a complete necessity, but I would say that it is essential to make for a pleasant experience for your guests.
Organize Guest Room Essentials
For those who may use their guest room for other purposes, it is nice to keep all of your guest essentials in one spot, so that you don’t have to search for them every time someone stays over. With these three options, you can create a spot for everything.
With this rolling cart, you can organize your items as you wish, and then you can roll them into a closet or another spot of your choice.
For the option below, you could stick this storage chest at the end of the bed in the guest room and place all of the essentials inside of it.
Hostess with the Mostess

With these guest room essentials prepared and organized for your friends and family, you are ready for your company to enjoy their stay.
