4 Tips for Creating a Welcoming Guest Room

With Halloween over, and the transition to Standard Time in full swing, it’s clear that we’re in the midst of the holiday season! Now is the perfect time to start preparing for guests. Whether by curating a delicious feast or decorating with festive decor, why not use this time to create a guest room experience that will keep them comfortable, make them feel welcome, and ensure a successful stay this holiday season?

1. Make a Warm Welcome

After traveling, no one is eager to make an extra stop at the store for snacks and food. On the kitchen counter or their bedside table, place a welcome bag of treats for their room with a mix of sweet, salty, and healthy snacks. Think mini cookies, trail mix, granola bars, popcorn, or small packs of gum and mints. Don’t forget to add a couple bottles of water for added hydration! This gesture will go a long way in making your friends or family feel truly welcome during the holiday season.

2. Prepare Their Bedroom Space

A good night’s sleep can truly transform a stay. Providing fresh pillows, blankets, and even a bedside fan for white noise or additional air circulation can help guests feel relaxed and rejuvenated. You can add a box of tissues or extra charging cables as well. Lastly, ensuring that windows and their coverings block out early morning light will allow them to sleep in as long as they desire.

If you have the space in your home, consider setting up a reading nook in the guest bedroom. Placing a cozy chair, end table and a lamp can quickly transform the space.

3. Make Sure They Have a Good Night’s Sleep

Our team at California Window Fashions is here for this exact reason! There are some questions you may consider:

  1. How are the windows in the space?
  2. Does the room feel private enough for our guests?
  3. Are the window coverings easy to operate?
  4. Do they have the option to block out sunlight if they prefer to sleep in?
  5. Are the window coverings children and pet-safe?

Window coverings have the power to transform the atmosphere of a space, but ensuring that they are easy to operate is just as important. Once you can answer these questions, you’ll know you curated the perfect guest room experience.

Provide the Bathroom Necessities

You know that feeling you get when you leave for a trip–and you know you forgot something? Most of the time, it is the small things like body wash, dental floss, or some chapstick. Placing items in a toiletry bag in the bathroom will make them feel at home!
