What to keep on hand for overnight guests

Short answer: An extra set of bed linen, two towels and a pair of socks. That covers the vast majority of visits and takes up less room than one shelf.

Bed linen in a neutral colour

A set that goes with everything means you do not have to think about it. See bamboo bed linen.

Two towels per guest

One large and one small cover an ordinary visit. See bamboo towels.

Socks are what they forget

Cold feet in an unfamiliar home are the most common complaint. See bamboo socks for women.

Wash and lay out before they arrive

Clean and laid out means the guest does not have to ask. See bamboo clothing for women.
