Decorating and arranging the guest room is as important as fixing up any bedroom in the house. Here are some tips on how to make the guest room inviting and comfortable just in case a family member or friend comes to visit.
House Beautiful reports that one of the most common mistakes people do when decorating the guest room is placing a giant bouquet to beautify it. However, this can be overpowering, and placing it on a table will not give the guests enough room to place their things. Aside from that, it can trigger possible allergies the guest has.
Real Simple suggests that instead of overwhelming the room with decorations, it is important to pack it with all the essentials. The site recommends placing a basket with all the basic necessities like rolled towels, toothbrushes, toiletries and also common medicines. Extra toilet paper and other bathroom essentials should also be provided so that the guests won't have to ask once they used up the given supply. This will make your guests feel that they are being taken care of.
Aside from that, it is important to give them adequate space and storage for their things, so guest rooms should have vacant drawers or cabinets. A luggage rack is also needed for those guests who came from far places for a visit.
Since the room is rarely used, it is important to use air freshener before the guest aarives. This will fight the mustiness in the room and cover up any unpleasant smell quickly. To make the room cozy, it is highly recommended to use a cushy rug made of durable and stain-resistant material like wool.
Lastly, it is important that the guests are entertained during their stay, so reading materials, television remote instructions and even the Wi-Fi password should be given beforehand.
