Tips for Creating a Cozy Guest Room for the Holidays
Other than a good, deep cleaning, creating a cozy guest bedroom will help your guests feel at home (and at ease!) during their stay with you this holiday season.
1. Refresh your mattress & bedding.
Cuddling up with an old, dingy blanket is far less relaxing than snuggling a clean, soft one. And if that guest room mattress is creaky and squeaky, . Guests coming into town is a great excuse to . Even by only updating the throw blanket and a few decorative pillows, you can brighten up the room and make it feel more cozy. If you're ready to upgrade the whole setup, we've got your back.
2. Stock extra linens, just incase.
It may make your guests more comfortable if they have the option to switch out linens themselves. Especially if they're staying more than a night or two. Leave an extra set up sheets, pillowcases and some fresh towels in clear site, so they can change them out at will.
3. Bring the smells of the holidays into the bedroom.
Whether you prefer a light, cotton scent or something that makes you think of the season? Make your guests feel cozy and relaxed with some candles or an oil diffuser. Try general scents like lavender, cotton or teakwood or spice it up for fall with pumpkin or apple cinnamon.
4. Add some fall decor.
It's easy to bring a little of that "fall feeling" into the bedroom. Whether it's some tasteful pumpkins on the bookshelf or their own mini Christmas tree, add some holiday cheer & your guests will surely feel at home.
