No one ever said that being a gracious host was easy, but it becomes a little bit easier when you have a well-decorated guest room. If you’re not sure where to start, or if you’re looking for some new ideas, read on for tips and tricks that will help you create the perfect space for your guests.
1) Bookshelves
We all have them, and though we may never read those books on our shelves again, it can be hard to part with them. Instead of just throwing those books in a guest room closet or ducking behind your stack of photo albums whenever someone stops by for a visit, consider using those walls as Threshold Bookshelves for your guests. You can also use them for decorative purposes, such as displaying trinkets and figurines.
2) Comfortable Beds
You will never get a good night’s sleep in an uncomfortable bed, and that’s why it’s always best to invest in one that is both comfortable and stylish. To make your guests feel even more welcome, you might consider placing a small welcome basket filled with candy (and perhaps some shampoo if you’re worried about their hair care needs).
3) Tea and Coffee Facilities
Nothing says “welcome” like an easy cup of tea or coffee in the morning. You can never go wrong with this gesture, and it’s also a great way to help your guests start their day off right.
4) Fresh Flowers
Fresh flowers in the guest room are an excellent touch that will not only add color and style but will also create a much more welcoming environment for your guests. Even if you don’t have a green thumb, you can still enjoy fresh flowers throughout your home by shopping Threshold’s selection of artificial floral arrangements.
5) Bedside Trays
You might also consider adding bedside or nightstand trays to the guest room so that your guests have somewhere to place their cell phones overnight. This is especially important for guests that are staying in hotels. Threshold’s bedside table with drawer also makes storage a breeze, offering four open compartments for all your guests’ belongings.
There are many ways to make your guest room feel more like home when you’re not there. Just remember to personalize the space so that it reflects who you are and your personal style.
