The holidays are almost here and we’re all preparing for the hustle and bustle. If you have friends or relatives from out of town, you may have already started planning for their arrival. You can make their visit even more memorable by creating an unforgettable guest room experience. Here are a few tips.
Welcome Home (Away from Home!)
Putting together a “welcome basket” is a great way to prepare for your guests! Include some salty & sweet snacks, water bottles, mints or gum, and maybe even a few fun surprises. Your guests will appreciate the effort and hospitality.
Set Up a Bedroom Oasis
Traveling is exhausting. Your guests may just want to relax when they get to your home, so make sure they have a guest room ready to go! Extra pillows, blankets, and charging cords are some important bedroom staples.
Create a Quiet Spot.
Socializing can take a lot out of people, especially when they aren’t in their own home. Your guests will appreciate having a space to decompress. A side table with a lamp and a comfortable chair is plenty.
Make Sure they Sleep Well.
Getting a good night’s rest means everyone will have energy for holiday activities! Here are a few things our designers consider for bedrooms:
- Do the window treatments provide enough privacy?
- Are the window coverings easy to adjust?
- If there are children, are blind cords out of the way for safety?
- Is there enough light control? Can they sleep in?
Windows are often overlooked when preparing a guest room. But, the right window treatments are essential to ensuring privacy and light control. Another thing to consider is a small fan or sound machine. Even if your guests don’t use them, you can rest easy knowing they have the option.
Don’t Forget the Bathroom!
Have you ever traveled somewhere and realized you forgot your toothbrush or another bathroom essential? It can be a pain! You can prepare a bathroom basket ahead of time to save your guests a Target run. Fill it with the essentials—toothbrushes, razors, lotion, and floss are a few ideas that will set everyone at ease.
