Help your guests feel welcome with these bedroom design tips.
The holidays are upon us, which means it's officially the busiest travel season of the year! If you're staying home and playing host to visitors this winter, there are several quick and easy design ideas you can include in your guestroom that says, 'Come in and stay awhile.'
After all, when your guests arrive to celebrate the holidays with you, you want them to feel relaxed and rested after their time traveling. A nightstand flower arrangement as seen on Whitney Lee Morris sends a stylish welcome, while soft pillows and the glow of candlelight foster a soothing atmosphere. Make sure to also include sufficient bedside lighting in case your guests want to do a little reading in bed.
The best way to create an inviting guest room is to consider the small but comforting touches that make a hotel stay so special, then echo them in your own space.
Crisp sheets, fluffy towels, and cozy slippers all go a long ways towards helping your visitors settle in and start making themselves at home. And a serving tray with breakfast in bed (spotted via Whitney Lee Morris) is the ultimate indulgence. Here are a few more ways to pamper your guests:
1. Keep midnight thirst at bay with a pitcher and glass next to the bed.
2. Furnish your guest room with a wood nightstand that contains a drawer to keep small belongings in order.
3. Provide a wintry welcome that appeals to the senses with a pine scented candle.
4. With all the dinners and other events your guests may attend, a gold wall mirror helps them ensure their outfits are looking party ready!
5. At the end of a long evening your guests may want to unwind with a book in bed; a crystal vase table lamp illuminates their R&R.
Treat your guests like royalty and they'll do the same when it's your turn to visit them!
