Tuck a drawer organizer into a storage tote with some thoughtful amenities to make your houseguests feel like royalty. (Be forewarned: They’ll be eager for a return invite.)

How-to: Slip a drawer organizer into a fabric-covered box or other storage tote and stock it with a few travel-size essentials in coordinating materials and hues. Tie a washcloth with colorful string; wrap a bar of soap with wide ribbon; use letter stamps and a label sticker to personalize a scented candle.

A deep photo frame and similar sized side table become a venue for celebrating treasured keepsakes.

Have a few blooms from your garden and no traditional clear glass vase handy? Consider other unique vessels from around the house.
