Adding just the
right touches to your guest room can help overnight visitors savor their stay
with you from Just Right Blinds & Shutters.
Sometimes
a guest room can seem cold and sterile or just an afterthought space you use to
store unwanted items and old furniture. The holidays are coming soon. That
means guests may be coming to stay – and you can make their stay much more
enjoyable with just a few touches.
An
engaging guest room doesn’t have to do with the size of the room or the cost of
the furnishings, but with the details you pay close attention to. Think about
the amenities you like when you stay in a nice hotel, and make those available
to your guests!
• Make the room
luxurious with a high-quality mattress and good linens.
• Have several blankets
or throws available, so guests can adjust to their own comfort level.
• Provide pillows in a
couple of firmness levels and various stuffing materials.
• Arrange side tables or
nightstands on both sides of the bed, with lamps that have effective lighting
for reading.
• Purchase window
treatments that block out the morning light and provide privacy.
If
there’s space, arrange a sitting area with a small table, a comfortable chair
or two, and good lighting. Also think about where people can put their
suitcases – maybe you can add a bench at the foot of the bed or a folding
luggage rack.
Clean
your junk out the closet too, so there’s at least a small amount of space for
people to hang their clothes and store their shoes out of site. Also have at
least one small bureau with a drawer or two available for guests to put away
their t-shirts and socks. And if you’re remodeling or adding on a guest room,
make sure you include plenty of plugs for recharging portable devices.
Enhance your guest room this
fall to be ready for your holiday visitors. But don’t make your guest room too
comfortable – or your visitors may never leave!
