Making a guest bedroom feel homey<\/h2>\n

This is the time of year we all love. The holidays are finally here and your home is about to play host to friends and relatives \u2013 so let\u2019s make sure your guest bedroom is ready. After all, if your guests can\u2019t find a place to settle in with their belongings, they certainly won\u2019t feel relaxed in your home. Here are some helpful ways to prepare your guest room<\/a> for the busy season ahead.<\/p>\n

\"guestOrganize your holiday guest bedroom this season<\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Declutter and remove your personal belongings<\/strong>
\nEven though your guest bedroom may have turned into a \u201cstorage room\u201d of boxes, furniture and other household items it\u2019s time to make the room a bedroom again. Start by removing personal belongings such as excessive photographs, trophies, memorabilia and family clutter. While these items may make you feel at home, your guests should feel like they\u2019re staying at a hotel<\/a>. Personal decorative items that carry out the theme of the room is fine, but remove personal items so out-of-town guests don\u2019t feel like they are intruding by staying at your home.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Organize the guest room closets<\/strong>
\nWhen your holiday guests arrive they should be able to unpack their suitcases and hang clothing in the closets with minimal effort. We often forget about the closets and take all of our decluttering efforts and shove it into the closet. Think of your guest bedroom as a vacation retreat for your guests where they can find extra bedding for the bed, plenty of hangers for their clothes, and a few personal touches like slippers or a cozy robe would be a welcoming surprise too. Organize your closets to provide ample room for their luggage to fit inside as well as plenty of space to hang winter coats if needed. If space is a premium in your home, try to move your belongings to the top shelves and leave the lower shelves and closet floor for your guests.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Create relaxing sitting areas<\/strong>
\nOrganizing a guest bedroom also involves creating seating and relaxation areas of the room. Declutter bookshelves and side tables beside the bed to ensure your guests can relax with their own good book or tablet. Provide an area for guests to plug in electronics if possible. In our \u201csmart electronic\u201d driven world, laptops, tablets and phones beside the bed or desk will help your guests still feel connected while traveling. If you have a reading chair and floor lamp consider creating a reading nook with a book collection and magazines for them to peruse while relaxing before settling down to sleep.<\/p>\n

This holiday season let\u2019s get organized! The guest room is the perfect retreat when it\u2019s welcoming and ready for guests. Use these helpful tips to declutter, depersonalize, and to bring the modern comforts of home to your holiday guest bedroom. Your guests will appreciate your hospitality to make their visit memorable.<\/p>\n
