Are you having guests over soon but you do not own a guest room?
Do not worry, there are many things you can do to ensure a comfortable stay for your guests and we are about to explore some of them.
This can be a tricky situation and you may feel worried if you can even host them properly, but with some organization and with these tips, you will ensure that your guests feel as if they are staying in a hotel.
But, before you continue reading, do not forget your smile as the number one tip because it is the best welcoming gift you can give your guests.
1. Multi-Task Furniture
Pull-out couches or hidden wall beds are ideal for this because they are comfortable and transform into a cozy bed when it’s time to host guests.
If you do not own one, blow-up beds are another perfect option for your guest that can be transformed into the coziest bed with quality pillows and sheets.
2. Create Privacy
The biggest challenge of not having a dedicated guest room is the lack of privacy.
To help your guests feel more comfortable, try to create as much privacy as possible with curtains, room dividers, or folding screens.
Folding privacy screens work best for this and you can set them up around the space where your guests will be sleeping to give them a bit more personal space.
3. Prepare A Luxury Toiletries Kit
Make your guests feel as if they are coming into a hotel with a luxury toiletries bag.
This will make their stay more comfortable and they will not have to worry about not having things they may forget at home.
4. Ensure Comfortable Pillows And Covers
Comfort is another way to display luxury and hospitality to your guests.
Even without a guest room, they should feel comfortable and sleep well – soft and quality sheets will ensure that.
5. Keep Snacks And Drinks At Hand
Create a mini bar for your guest next to their bed and add several packages of tea, coffee, chocolates, and pretzels.
This way, your guest will be able to have a drink before bed or immediately after waking up without having to disturb others.
Use an old cabinet to place all these snacks and drinks, and add some flowers for decor.
6. Clear The Clutter
No guest loves to come to a home that is cluttered or messy because it creates an ‘unwelcoming‘ atmosphere.
Prepare your home for your guest by decluttering everything and making sure their designated spot is clean and tidy.
7. Adjust Lighting
Another great idea is to add a lamp in the corner next to their sleeping spot so they can use it if they want to read at night or simply relax on their own.
Also, you can add a nightstand that will serve as an additional storage option for your guests.
8. Offer Additional Storage
Think about where your guests can keep their clothes and belongings during their stay.
Do you have an empty drawer for them or some closet space you can share?
Setting out a luggage rack can also be a thoughtful touch, giving them an easy spot to store and access their suitcase.
9. Ensure The Airy Feel
If possible, do not place your friend in dark and secluded corners as that may feel too dark and suffocating to them.
Choose corners that have windows and natural light if you want your friend to feel more comfortable and happy with the stay.
