Add this handy mirror with a shelf to the downstairs loo

Bring seasonal spirit to your mantle or bannister with this festive garland
Whether you’re wrapping it around the bannister, draping it over the mantlepiece, or popping it on top of the kitchen cupboards, this gorgeous festive garland will really add some Christmas spirit to your space. Plus, the LED lights give off a gorgeous warm glow.

Use this sculptural wine rack to display your favourite festive bottles
Ensure your guests don’t have to go digging around in search of vino by keeping your bottles displayed on this gorgeous contemporary rack. It’s got space for twelve bottles, and works well in small spaces thanks to its slimline design.

Make your spare room suitable for guests with this pair of bedside lamps
A lovely pair of bedside lamps will instantly make any spare room feel more homely. This contemporary pair have sculptural chrome silhouettes, bright white lampshades, and — best of all — have been heavily discounted.
5
And hang this mirror with hidden storage so they can easily get ready
And any spare room definitely needs a lovely mirror! This one is simple but chic, and has a really handy shelf that’s the perfect size for storing lotions and potions.
6
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.
9
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.
10
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.

Enjoy extra seating and storage with this sleek grey upholstered bench
Instead of buying a whole new sofa, nab a discount on this bench, and use it for extra living room seating. Plus, its hidden storage makes it a the perfect spot for hiding any Christmas presents before the big day.
12
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.
