There’s a satisfying feeling about creating a safe and happy place for your guests to stay. You may not have it in the budget to create a five-star oasis, but you can help them feel comfortable and relaxed. This blog is about how to get a guest room ready in your home.
Make the Bed
This idea may seem like a no-brainer, but when was the last time you washed or changed the sheets on the guest bed? It probably hasn’t been since the last time someone slept there.
Remove all the sheets and blankets from the bed and wash them. After they dry, put the bed back together. Take time to fluff the pillows, lay the comforter out nicely, and add a few extra blankets to the foot of the bed.
Allow Room for a Suitcase
Clear out the closet or space under the bed for your guest to store their suitcase or luggage. If you don’t have room to spare, place a bench or chair in the room where your guests can get their stuff off the floor.
Nobody likes searching for a pair of pants or a toothbrush on the cold floor.
Don’t Forget the Basics
You want to ensure your guests feel comfortable in your home. Provide a clock in the room so that they don’t have to check their phone all night long. Ensure they have a box of tissues so that they don’t need to search the house for one or use the toilet paper.
Stock the guest bedroom with extra towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and toothpaste just in case your guest forgets to bring any of the essentials. Who wants to go searching for toiletries?
Pro-Tip
Have other bathroom necessities stocked and ready if you want to go above and beyond. You can provide lotion, face cream, hair gel, ear swabs, cotton balls, and perfume, to name a few.
Make Sure the Room Looks Nice
Could your guest room use a fresh coat of paint? Does the space look like a forgotten area of your home? Spruce up the area before the guests arrive. Hire painters to brighten up the room and replace the old, drab curtains. Additionally, add a few plants to the dresser to make the room feel homey.
Don’t stress too much when styling the ideal guest bedroom, though. Your guests need to feel comfortable—that’s the main point to remember.
Getting a guest room ready in your home can take some time and planning. With this guide, you can ensure the space is beautiful and ready for guests in no time.
