Here’s how to create a welcoming guest bedroom
As many ponder the possibility of hosting perhaps one or two family members for the holiday season, creating an inviting guest room may be top of mind. Guest bedrooms serve as a welcome message to your guests and should be treated as an opportunity to welcome your guests in style.
Here are my top tips for ways to enhance the guest bedroom experience.
Create a welcome basket. It is a staple at events such as weddings and large family gatherings. Why not create one for your guests? A welcome basket can have the basics such as rolled towels and bottle water or can be enhanced with a special personalized gift.
Add books. Books are a wonderful addition to any guest bedroom. From novels to tourist guides and gorgeous magazines, reading material can be a welcomed diversion for your guests.
Think fresh and fragrant. Who doesn’t love fresh flowers? Fresh flowers say you took the time to add a special touch to welcome your guest.
Provide basics. Sometimes guests forget to bring the basics such as soap, toothpaste even a toothbrush, having these basics on hand, could be a welcomed surprise for your guests.
Classic colors. Even though it is your home, it is best to stay away from personalized colors. When designing a guest bedroom, it is best to stick with classic colors such as white, blue, yellow and green.
Sumptuous linens. For many guests, staying at your home is in lieu of a hotel, so why not make your guest feel like your home is like a “boutique hotel.” There is nothing better on a bed than sumptuous linens.
