Some people say the more storage you offer overnight guests the longer they\u2019ll stay.<\/p>\n

Good to know if you\u2019re expecting a visit from your least favourite cousin. But good or bad, what can make<\/strong> or break<\/strong> a guest\u2019s visit comes down to simple organization.<\/p>\n

If you already have a designated guest room with a bed that\u2019s a great start. If you are using a spare room, den\/office, or space in your basement, here are some tips to make or break it.<\/p>\n

Hang-ups<\/h3>\n

Is there a closet or place to hang up your coat?<\/p>\n

Break<\/strong>: there\u2019s a coat rack by the door, wall hooks and\/or a spare chair in the corner. This says, \u201cWe like you, but this is temporary and sorry we don\u2019t have any hangers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Make<\/strong>: the space includes a closet behind doors with a couple of feet of rod space and a shelf. This is all most guests need to hang up crushed, travel-packed clothes.<\/p>\n

Make them never leave<\/strong>:\u00a0a custom walk-in closet!<\/a><\/p>\n

Drawers<\/h3>\n

Is there a dresser or place to tuck away folded\u00a0clothing?<\/p>\n

Break<\/strong>: remember that chair?<\/p>\n

Make<\/strong>: a clean, empty multi-drawer dresser or built-in drawer system in a closet is very handy and allows guests to settle in and feel at home.<\/p>\n

Make them never leave<\/strong>: a closet organizer<\/a>, complete with multiple storage options including hanging rods, pull out rods, tie racks, jewelry drawer and tilt out laundry hamper.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/h3>\n

Bedside storage<\/h3>\n

Is there a place for reading material, an alarm clock, and a lamp?<\/p>\n

Break<\/strong>: there\u2019s a high stack of old magazines that can balance stuff beside the futon.<\/p>\n

Make<\/strong>: a table or set of drawers with a roomy top surface is a great convenience for guests at bedtime. A bedside lamp prevents stumbling to an overhead light switch in an unfamiliar space.<\/p>\n

Make them never leave<\/strong>: a bedroom storage system complete with open shelves, drawers and built in lighting with a wall bed<\/a> that tucks away during the day.<\/p>\n

Bathroom storage<\/h3>\n

Is there room for visiting toiletries?<\/p>\n

Break<\/strong>: that\u2019s what the top of toilet tanks are for, right?<\/p>\n

Make<\/strong>: temporarily clear off some of the shared counter space and clean out a drawer. Or install some custom cabinets overhead, designed to your space.<\/p>\n

Make them never leave<\/strong>: an ensuite guest bathroom with fluffy towels and extra toilet paper rolls handy to avoid guests needing to ask for them.<\/p>\n

Any room can be a great guest room as long as there is a bed and proper storage.<\/p>\n

Organized Interiors can help make the storage space you already have more efficient and beautiful or custom build for whatever your organization needs are.<\/p>\n

We just\u00a0can\u2019t guarantee your guests will leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
