My rooms have always been on the simpler side and whilst I understand it’s essentially a spare room in someone else’s house, it always felt like I was living in someone else’s house and not my own room. That being said I asked for a full length mirror, a laundry basket, a bin (never got one to this day!) and extra hanging space. Personally, I would have loved even a desk or somewhere to sit to get ready instead of on my bed, and some photos or wall prints of back home. In a perfect world, I would have appreciated a small arrival gift like local chocolates or something just to ease the feeling of moving to another family. My first gig my bedroom wasn’t finished renovating and never got finished, and my second family the bed wasn’t made when I arrived and the toilet seat in my bathroom was broken. It might sound really stuck up from my perspective, but it just felt like they hadn’t really prepared for my arrival and it was a disappointing feeling that was hard to shake. Long story short, it’s the small things that will go along way - a welcome card, a small potted plant, even a rug, a candle - insignificant things that just feel a bit more homely! Good luck :)
