Dfxsz Merry Christmas Throw Pillow Covers 

The quickest way to transform your guest room for the holidays is with a themed throw pillow. Nutcrackers are a timeless Christmas motif, and the holiday linen throw covers are available in six prints from the classic ballet. The printed pillows are available in 12-inch by 20-inch and 18-inch by 18-inch sizes.

Harritpure Arched Full Length Mirror 

Mirrors are a great way to add the illusion of space, especially in a tighter guest room. This arched mirror can be leaned against the wall or wall-mounted for extra security. The affordable mirror is available in two heights, 65 inches by 22 inches and 71 inches by 30 inches, and black or gold finishes with round-edge or straight-edge bases.

Bask Kin Portable Cordless Lantern Table Lamp 

The thing about being a guest staying in another person’s home is that you aren’t as familiar with the floorplan. This portable lamp lights the way for guests, and with its easy-touch three dimmable options, the light level is highly customizable. It works as bedside lighting or as a portable nightlight, and the warm-glow lantern is rechargeable and sits cord-free.

Bedsure Comforter Set 

Keep your guests warm on cold winter nights with the best-selling comforter set. The plush set comes with two shams and a microfiber stuffed comforter. The set is available in 28 colorways that feature a natural dual-tone, heathered-like effect. It’s available in twin, full, queen, king, and California king sizes. No matter the size of the guest room, you will be the ultimate host with this cloud-like bedding.  

Varmax Small Christmas Tree

Add sentimental touch to make your guests feel even more at home with their very own Christmas tree. The miniature lighted tree stands at 2 feet tall. Place the rustic tree on a dresser or nightstand to greet your guests without taking up precious space. For a more personal touch, hang some ornaments off the tree’s snow-tipped pine branches.

Dseap Over-The-Door Hook Hanger

To welcome guests, give them a space to hang their hats—literally. This over-the-door hanger comes with five tri-hooks, so there's plenty of room to hang cold-weather layers, towels, robes, and more. No DIY is necessary for the upgrade, simply hang the rack off the top of a door. The hanger is available in black, bronze, chrome, gold, copper, white, or white and black finishes.

Signature Design by Ashley Nashburg Industrial Farmhouse Metal Bed

While most guest room updates are small, quick additions like investing in a classic-style bed frame will stand the test of time and offer the perfect backdrop for seasonal decor. When it comes to bed frames, a simple iron frame is a solid and timeless design. The iron bed with an arched design is available in twin, full, queen, and king sizes and comes in matte black, bronze, or silver.

Sizikato 26-ounce Amber Borosilicate Glass Bedside Water Carafe 

Every gracious host knows that even small gestures go a long way. Making sure that your guest doesn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to quench their thirst is a small luxury this stylish glass carafe offers. The bottle holds 26 ounces of water and is capped with a 12-ounce cup. Particularly useful for smaller nightstands, the all-in-one carafe saves space and makes it easy for a sleepy guest to stay hydrated.

Adyrescia Chunky Knit Blanket Throw

When it comes to blankets in the winter, the chunkier the better. And it’s hard to find a chunkier blanket than this popular knit blanket. The blanket is one to display, not put away in a trunk, as it brings texture and depth to a room—especially if draped over a chair or across the bed. Purchase the blanket in four sizes (30 inches by 40 inches, 40 inches by 50 inches, 50 inches by 60 inches, or 60 inches by 80 inches) and 14 colorways.

Keenray Towel Warmer

Warm towels and blankets on a chilly winter night are a luxury your guests will appreciate so much, they might never want to leave. Amazon’s best-selling towel warmer heats up in as quickly as one minute and reaches high temperature in six minutes. So by the time your guests finish showering, they’ll have a perfectly warm towel, bathrobe, or pajamas waiting for them. The 13-inch by 13-inch by 19-inch barrel fits up to two 40-inch by 70-inch towels, so there’s plenty of space.

Amazon Basics Upholstered Rectangular Storage Ottoman

Every guest room needs proper storage and seating—this ottoman accomplishes both. The upholstered bench has a deep storage compartment that’s accessible via the liftable lid. At 16.5 inches by 35.5 inches by 17 inches, the rectangular bench sits beautifully along a wall or at the foot of the bed. With three neutral colorways (beige, charcoal gray, and light gray), the ottoman will blend seamlessly with any style.

Itoeo LED Flameless Candles

Creating a warm atmosphere used to be as simple as lighting a candle. Now it’s even easier, simply hit the button on the remote, and this flameless candle set comes to life. The pack comes with three candle heights—4-inch, 5-inch, and 6-inch—which are housed in glass pillars. The flickering candles are realistic and, even better, don’t pose a fire threat. 

Carrot’s Den Tissue Box Cover Holder

While many happy things come with winter—namely, holidays and time with loved ones—the winter can also wreak havoc on the sinuses. It's courteous to have a box of tissues for your guests in case they get the sniffles, but tissue boxes tend to be logo-heavy and aren’t a piece of decor that sit beautifully. A simple solution is to cover the box with this best-selling stylish leather holder. It’s available in eight colorways: beige, black, charcoal, white, Tiffany blue, baby pink, lavender, and pastel gray.

Elife Christmas Winter Snowflake Embroidery Throw Pillow Covers 

Subtle winter-themed touches like these snowflake-covered pillows will turn your guest room into a winter wonderland—even if you don’t live in a part of the country that sees white Christmases. The set of two 18-inch by 18-inch pillow covers easily decks your home for the holiday season and sits beautifully on couches, chairs, or as finishing accent pieces on beds.
