Do you have guests who are planning to stay over the upcoming holidays? It’s time to create a guest room experience that will ensure an amazing time had by all! From the ideal ways to welcome, to making sure they sleep well, it’s all about preparing ahead of time!
Offer a Warm Welcome.
Start off their stay the right way by giving them a welcome package placed on the bedside table–a bag of treats with some salty and sweet snacks, water bottles, gum or mints. This will make them feel at home after they’ve spent the day traveling. It’s a simple acknowledgement of how much you appreciate them coming to stay, but it will set the tone for the trip.
Prep the Bedroom.
It’s a long day when you have to travel. Be sure to have everything ready for them before they arrive. Prep the guest room with essentials, like a few comfortable pillows, a couple extra blankets…you don’t want them to have to ask for basics. Other items that guests will appreciate are a charging cable, a box of tissues and a table-side lamp to settle down and read.
The guest room is a great spot to create a reading nook–a comfortable chair set off to the side with a table and lamp so they can get away if they need some quiet time during the stay.
Ensure a Good Night’s Sleep.
This is where our designers at Skyline Window Coverings come in. This is a great list of questions to get you thinking:
- How are the windows in the guest room?
- Does the room feel private?
- Are the coverings easy to operate?
- Do your guests have access to block morning sunshine or distracting lights at night?
- If children are staying, are the window coverings child safe?
We always say that window treatments have such an impact on the atmosphere of a room. After all, a well-rested guest is a happy guest. In addition, providing a small fan on a bedside table is a nice gesture to get the air moving and produce white noise to help them sleep.
Provide Bathroom Necessities.
No matter whether your guests have access to the en suite, or if they are sharing with family members, bathroom time is important to feel refreshed. Provide a basket with toiletries they may have forgotten, like lotion, a razor, or floss. When you host, it’s a great gesture. Chances are, they will only need 1-2 items that you can easily replenish for next time, but having these supplies on hand will mean you always feel prepared.
