The Easy Way To Warmly Welcome Your Guests
When it comes to hosting overnight guests, comfort is key—but creating a cozy, welcoming guest room can feel time consuming. Luckily, with just a few quick tricks, you can transform any guest room into a warm, welcoming, and cozy retreat that makes your guests feel truly relaxed.
So, what’s the formula? Start by adding a set of neatly rolled towels on the bed. It’s a small gesture that instantly feels thoughtful—and if you really want to impress, match the color of the towels to the sheets or blankets. Then, top the towels with some fresh flowers, or a sprig of lavender or thyme, or maybe even some individually wrapped chocolates. Next, place a small basket of toiletries in the room atop a dresser or bedside table. In the basket, include things like travel-sized shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, lotion, and bodywash/soap. Not only does this save your guests from having to ask, but this small effort can also make their stay feel even more relaxing and welcoming. Then, add a couple of bottles of water on the nightstand. It’s especially appreciated after a long trip or when your guest wakes up thirsty in the middle of the night.
Add a warm and cozy throw blanket at the foot of the bed or draped over a chair or add a scented candle on the dresser. These final details help turn a basic guest room into a peaceful retreat your guests won’t want to leave.
