I love entertaining during the holiday season, and during the months of November and December, the spare room in my house becomes a makeshift guest suite for all of my visiting friends and family. I'm more than happy to host; however, I've come to realize that my guest room of 2025 needs one more addition before it opens for the season.
I've bought new sheets, added more pillows to the bed, and I've even hung new art on the walls to make the space feel more welcoming for guests. I thought I'd considered every guest bedroom idea to improve the aesthetic of my space, until I realized that the detail missing from the room isn't a typical bedroom furnishing at all. In fact, it's a design steal from the masters of hospitality – hotels. An Anthropologie luggage rack that's as stylish as it is practical.
Made with a dark green painted maple wood frame, this luggage rack is as chic as it is sturdy. When opened, this luggage rack measures just over 13" in width and 22" in length, and it can hold up to 150 lbs. Its woven straps ensure a sturdy place for suitcases to rest, and its copper caps add a decorative touch to its design. Aside from green, this rack comes in three other colors: white, navy, and coral.
I can't say I've ever seen a luggage rack in someone's home – in my mind, they're strictly for hotels. However, I love using them when I arrive in a hotel room – so why wouldn't I create the same setup for my guests in my home?
Not only can this luggage rack help keep your visitors organized by elevating their luggage on a raised, flat surface, but it can make the room feel more like a suite – a luxury hotel-style bedroom, if you will. This rack might not be a necessary feature, but it's a detail that certainly won't go unnoticed by your guests and instantly make a guest bedroom look more expensive. It'll serve as proof that you want to go the extra mile to ensure your guests' comfort in your home.
As if its attractive style and design weren't enough, this luggage rack also comes with a 4.8 out of 5-star ranking at Anthropologie. 'I bought this piece to add a hotel vibe to my guest room,' one reviewer wrote. 'It definitely has a luxury feel.' Exactly, what I am hoping to achieve.
Another reviewer commented on the multiple uses for this luggage rack.' It can also double as a bedside table when you put a tray on top!' they wrote. Plus, when not in use, this luggage rack conveniently folds up and can slide under your bed or into a closet.
As the holiday season approaches, there's no better time than now to start prepping your spare bedroom for guests, and this luggage rack is a design detail you won't want to leave out.
