The holidays are approaching, and that means family time! If you’re hosting this year, it’s time to prep for your guests to have a comfortable and stylish place to lay their heads. This calls for a guest room refresh. Let’s take a look at home to create a welcoming space for your loved ones.
The Heart of the Home
What better place to start than the kitchen? After a long day of traveling it’s best to make their stomachs happy. Have some of their favorites on hand so there’s more time to get cozy and converse. Not sure what they love? Simply ask! It’s an amazing gesture that will go a very long way, just like they did when traveling to you. Go above and beyond and have a gift bag of treats in the guest room. Pair something sweet and salty with some mints and fruit.

Hydration Stations
Sometimes when there is a lot of hustle and bustle simple habits are forgotten. One of those is drinking water! Make sure your guests have plenty of fluids to drink. Put bottled water in the fridge for their convenience and a few bottles right in their room. This will be a visual reminder to hydrate.
Provide Toiletries
Make your guests feel like this is a home away from home and feel taken care of. Have a basket full of extras incase they forgot something. Traveling can be stressful enough without having to stop at a store in the middle of it. Add the following: toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, shampoo, lotion, etc. Your guest will appreciate the lovely thought.

Sleep Tight
Help your guest feel their most comfortable. After all, a well-rested guest is a happy one! Keep comfortable pillows, plush blankets, and a fan for white noise or if they sleep warm. How are the window coverings positioned? Will they block out the morning sun so your guests aren’t woken too early?

Are Your Blinds Safe?
Another thing to consider about your window coverings are if they are safe. If any guests are children, is important to have 8 inches or less cords for their safety. The last thing you’ll want is parents of young children worrying about the safety of their kids in your home.

Quiet Area
In the guest room, it’s nice to have either a reading nook or comfortable chair to have some peace and quiet. You’ll be excited to see your guests, and they you, but sometimes we all need a little quiet time. Make sure to have an extra phone charger to help them recharge, literally.
