Don’t Let Clutter Be Your Guest

If you're fortunate enough to have a space in your home designated as a guest room, don't let the only regular visitor be clutter.  

Organize a guest room and keep it ready for any unexpected visitors.

-Keep the bed neat.  Don't let it become a storage place for miscellaneous household items.

-Invest in ample storage containers so that surfaces can remain free of clutter, especially if the room doubles as extra storage space.

-Keep a few houseguest essentials in a basket or decorative box, such as extra toiletries, a box of mints, and tissues.

-Add a diffuser and some lavender oil and magazines about local attractions to a bedside table.

Maintain your guest room with regular cleaning and spot checks to be sure you're ready to graciously welcome any last minute guests who may arrive.
