How to Prep Your Home for Guests
With the holiday season just around the corner, many of us are beginning to think about being the best host to family and friends. From cooking elaborate meals to entertaining, being prepared for guests to visit can be a daunting task. Here are our best tips on how to prep your home for visitors so that you can enjoy the holiday season in style.
Create a cozy and welcoming ambiance
Whether your guests are visiting from across town or from across the country, every visitor wants to feel welcome and comfortable in your home. One of the best ways to make your space as inviting as possible is by adding cozy elements around the different rooms. Place a luxury candle in the living room, bathrooms, and guest bedroom for an added ambiance. Add a throw blanket or two on the couch that guests can use whenever they’re feeling chilly. We particularly love our waffle throw blankets that are the perfect living room accessory.
Make a beautiful bed
If you’re having guests stay over for a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas, make sure that the guest bedroom is prepped with quality linens. The right set of sheets and luxury bedding will make the world of a difference to someone staying at your home for the holidays. For a hotel-like experience, bedding such as the Linden Navy Blue Border duvet cover will make your guests feel extra luxurious.
Fully stock the house
Overnight guests will particularly appreciate a fully-stocked home if they need anything during their stay. Consider having extra toiletries, snacks, and drinks on hand for your visitors for that extra special touch.
Put out fresh towels
Make the bathing experience more enjoyable for your guests by laying out new, fresh towels specifically for them to use. Consider placing a set of towels on the guest bed so that your visitors know exactly which ones are available to them. Providing your guests with plush towels and, if you’re feeling like going above and beyond as a host, a cozy robe for after drying off, is a great way to make your visitors feel right at home.
Set the table
When you have guests, you will most likely host at least one nice meal where everyone is sitting around the table. Prep for this meal ahead of time by having quality and stylish table linens ready to set the table with.
