One of the most important aspects of hosting guests is providing them with a tranquil, cozy and comfortable guest room. Even if your guests are only staying a short while, providing a restful oasis is essential for their well being and to ensure that they have a memorable experience. A guest room should be inviting and convey a feeling of ease with a dash of luxury.

If you are planning on hosting this summer and your guest room is in need of a little updating check out these tips below:

Add fresh flowers - they add a pop of color to your decor.
Provide your guests with an alarm clock, reading lamp and a night light.
Place books and magazines on a bedside table or in baskets.
Put pretty stationery and pens/pencils on a tray.
Use only pure cotton bedding and iron out wrinkles if needed.
Stock up on a variety of pillows ( soft, medium, firm and non-allergenic).
Use quality hangers and not wire hangers - your guests will appreciate this.
Buy a room fragrance in a neutral scent to keep the room smelling fresh.
Provide your guests with a comfy armchair to sit or read. (See below for bath tips)

Updating The Bath

Fresh soap and toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash) are essential. Buy small guest soaps for each guest and discard after use.
Replace worn out towels with fresh towels and wash cloths.
Have a first-aid kit handy filled with aspirin, bandages, and safety scissors.
Clean and/or replace shower curtains (especially the liner) and bath mats.
