Layer up plenty of textiles in different textures to create a cozy and comfortable space. Rugs, throws, and curtains will create a feeling of luxury, while also helping to absorb sound and create a nice private space for your guests.

Add a mirror to a dressing table or a full-length wall mirror to make sure your guests have somewhere to get ready in the mornings. Your visitors will certainly appreciate this, especially when living out of a suitcase for a few nights. It’s an important finishing touch to make the room feel fully functional, while also reflecting light and making the space feel bigger and brighter.

Make sure you provide some kind of storage space for your guests to store their basics while they stay with you, especially if you’ll be having people stay for more than a night or two. Stock it up with fluffy towels, bathrobes, and slippers for an extra touch of luxury!
