Fresh flowers

Show your guests that you’ve put some thought into their arrival by arranging fresh flowers in their room. Natural elements make the space feel fresh and are great stress-relievers.

Turn Down the Bed, Fluff the Pillows

Sleeping in someone else’s home always feels a bit awkward, especially if it’s the first time. Something as simple as turning down the bedsheets and fluffing the pillows will make the room much more hospitable.

Dark Tones, Natural Light

Dark Tones, Natural Light

Decorate the room with dark, earthy tones to create a feeling of cozy solitude. This will make your guests feel like they have their own private space in your home.

But don’t confuse dark tones with shadowy darkness. Choose a room that gets plenty of natural light, but don’t forget to equip the windows with curtains for when your guests want to sleep in.

Enhance your Sink Space

Get rid of any clutter around the sink in your guest bathroom to make the space appear larger and more neutral, giving your guest the impression that it is their personal space. Or, install a new sink and extra counter space to give the bathroom a luxury-hotel feel. Crystal or clear glass sinks paired with a matching waterfall faucet are the perfect choice for a guest bathroom. This will add a sense of elegance to the room without an overbearing presence, and they are easy to maintain.

Local Soaps and Candles

Local Soaps and Candles

Buy handmade soaps and candles from local artisans to add practical personality to your guest bathroom. Make sure they are brand new when your guest arrives. Remember not to clutter the area. A few small soaps and one candle are enough.
