Getting ready for holiday guests? Check out these tips for making your guest room welcoming, courtesy of furniture company Somerton Dwelling:
-- Leave a bottle or decanter of water on the night stand for slaking nighttime thirst.
-- Supply extra blankets to keep guests warm.
-- Empty top drawers in a dresser to give guests room for their clothing.
-- Put your Wi-Fi password in a pretty frame on the night stand, so guests can more easily check email.
-- Supply a luggage rack or bench where guests can rest their suitcases.
Consider, also, these nice-to-have extras:
-- A comfortable chair for putting on shoes.
-- A selection of toiletries, in case your guests forgot something.
-- Slippers they can take home.
-- A small Christmas tree, holiday pillows or a window wreath to make the room more festive.
-- A selection of sweet and savory bedtime snacks. Include treats for your guests’ pets, if they’re coming too.
-- Scented candles to create a cozy environment.
-- A small welcome gift.
