Bedroom - Give guests added privacy even if multiple people are sleeping in each bedroom. The addition of an inexpensive, freestanding screen provides a concealed space for changing or acts as an excellent room divider when using cots. Will you have guests sleeping in the living room? Position your sofa as a room divider for the same effect. Putting flannel sheets on the bed is sure to give your guests a good night's sleep that is toasty warm. You can also purchase affordable, rollaway clothes racks if your bedrooms lack enough closet space.

Bathroom - Mornings can be crowded and stressful when you have lots of people in the house. Ease the tension with some clever, yet inexpensive, additions. Place suction hooks on bathroom walls for each guest's towel, washcloth or robe. Label and decorate low-cost drinking glasses for bathroom use and create color-coordinated toothbrush holder and soap holder sets to keep each person's hygiene items separate. If you're planning to give holiday gifts, you can purchase monogrammed, plush robe and slipper sets for Aunt Betty and Uncle Ben. Placing a wicker basket for guest towels and a bag for dirty clothes will also help with keeping bathroom use organized.

When using these ideas, you'll alleviate much of your stress and be a wonderfully gracious hostess who makes her guests feel right at home!
