Use this vanity unit to create storage underneath your pedestal sink
This handy freestanding vanity unit fits around a pedestal sink, and will therefore instantly upgrade the storage situation in even the tiniest of bathrooms. It’s easy to install, and has both open and hidden shelving.
7
Accessorise with faux fur throws that’ll keep everyone cosy
While it’s important your guests stay warm and cosy throughout their stay, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll want to whack up the dreaded thermostat. But rarely used spare rooms can be pretty draughty, so lay a thick faux fur blanket like this out on the bed to ensure they don’t get too cold.
8
Use this slim storage cabinet to make space for extra pairs of shoes
Is your hallway overrun by all the extra pairs of shoes? If so, this bestselling storage cabinet is sure to really help you out. It’s slim and subtle like a console table, but can fit up to twelve pairs of adult-sized shoes.

Avoid kicked over drinks by putting a side table by the sofa
When you’ve got more people crammed in the living room, the risk of drinks being knocked over is definitely increased. But with a couple of these side tables, you can avoid drinks being precariously placed on the floor — and guests can even eat far more comfortably, thanks to the table’s handy c-form shape.

Accessorise your front door with this faux wreath that lights up
This gorgeous faux pine wreath will ensure your guests get in the Christmas spirit before they’ve even set foot in your home. Plus, its battery-powered fairy lights give off the perfect warm and welcoming glow.

Make up for a lack of wardrobe by adding a clothes rack
If you haven’t quite got around to popping a wardrobe in the guest bedroom yet, then a clothes rack could be a quick and affordable alternative solution. This one has space for hanging items, as well as a shelf for foldable bits and any accessories.
