To accommodate your guest's luggage, either include space in the closet or outfit the room with foldable racks.  

Like every other storage area in the house, a guest room closet should include a place for all your guest's belongings, including shoes, undergarments, jewelry and short- or long-hanging clothing.

When designing the layout of your guest closet, consider the spaces included in the hotels you frequent.  Since your guests want to feel comfortable and organized, hotel closets can serve as excellent models for inspiration.

A packing table and laundry basket are nice additions to the guest closet.

Guest room closets are perfect for a little extra household storage.  Just make sure that your belongings are concealed in containers so the space is more inviting to your overnight visitors.

Ever forgotten to bring essential items on a trip?  So have your guests.  Stock your guest room with items such as towels, toothbrushes, floss, soap and shampoo to ease your visitors' worried minds.

To avoid scaring your guests with a flock of moths, place mothballs or cedar chips in the closet to prevent an infestation.

Do your guests scatter their shoes all over the floor of your guest room?  If you add shoe shelves to the closet design, then your guests' pumps, loafers and tennies will remain perfectly organized.

To prevent guests from using your chairs as stools, install a built-in step ladder so they can easily access the top shelves of the closet.
