Do you provide dressers for guests?

[Heidi874]

I have a friend who wants to list her home furnished. The only thing I’m trying to convince her about is providing a dresser for each of the two bedrooms. There is plenty of room. I’ve had three ABBs and I think it’s strange not to provide guests with a dresser. The master has three very small ‘sock’ drawers inside the closet but that’s it.

Id also like to know if you provide a tv for each room too?

Any thoughts on this? Ty!

I don't provide a TV at all. Not sure what a dresser is but it's pretty standard to provide some draws for guests to store belongings and somewhere for guests to hang  their clothes. @Heidi874  The storage hosts offer guests will really depend on whether they are marketing their place for longer stays.

@Helen3   In the USA, a dresser is a chest of drawers.

I have four bnb rooms. I provide tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge, kettle, TV and wardrobe storage, together with a dresser/chest of drawers. I also ensure that each room has a chair or sofa and somewhere to apply make-up. There is also a communal iron, ironing board, combination microwave and toaster. I am in the city center of Chester uk.

My rooms are for short-term stays, but I want guests to be comfortable.

@Heidi874  A simple dresser not only allows a guest drawer space to unpack into, but also provides an additional bedroom surface for keys, pocket change, glasses or other items that you would need to put down somewhere...

Whether or not you install a TV in the bedrooms really depends on the size and configuration of the rental property.   A large TV in the communal living area may be enough.  Unless your property is more than 2 bedrooms, is listed as grand, opulent or luxurious with a high price and rentals of a week plus, guests can do without bedroom TVS.

@Heidi874 Great question—and it's wonderful that you're helping your friend prepare her home thoughtfully for guests. I completely agree with your point about providing a dresser in each bedroom. As @Lorna170 mentioned, it's not just about drawer space for clothes—it also gives guests a surface to place their personal items like glasses, wallets, or keys. It’s a simple touch that adds both functionality and comfort, especially for guests staying more than a night or two.

@Janette142 also made a great point about creating a well-rounded, comfortable space by including not just storage, but also tea/coffee facilities, a fridge, a TV, and even somewhere to sit or apply makeup. These small additions can elevate the experience and make the guest feel truly considered.

As @Helen3 noted, some hosts may skip TVs altogether, especially if the listing is geared toward shorter or budget stays. And she's right—storage expectations can vary depending on whether you’re hosting long-term or short-term guests.

When it comes to TVs in bedrooms, as @Lorna170 said, it really depends on the type of property. If it’s a luxury or multi-room space listed at a higher price point, guests may expect extra TVs. But for most standard listings, one good TV in a shared living space is often more than enough—especially if you have good Wi-Fi.

In short:
✅ A dresser or chest of drawers is a basic but valuable amenity.
📺 Bedroom TVs are optional—consider your guest type and pricing.
🛋️ Extra comfort items (seating, mirrors, tea stations) add big value.

Hope this helps your friend set up her space for great reviews and happy guests!
