The Best Ways to Prepare your Guest Room for Christmas

There’s something truly magical about welcoming family and friends into your home during the holiday season. Think about it, after a day spent catching up, enjoying festive meals, or exploring your neighbourhoods twinkling lights, your guests will love settling into a guest bedroom that feels just as comforting as the rest of your home.

Start with the bed, bamboo linens or satin sheets, toss on a plush throw blanket, add a few extra pillows, and your guests will feel like they’re snoozing in a wonderland. Don’t forget those finishing touches like a soft robe or cozy slippers — they’re practical yet luxurious.

To spark a little holiday joy, consider a mini tree or a small wreath. If you have space, add a reading nook with a comfy chair and a handful of timeless holiday stories or magazines. A small bowl of seasonal treats or a gift hamper — peppermint bark, gingerbread, or hot chocolate packets, giving your guest something sweet to look forward to before bedtime.

And let’s not forget about scent. A gently scented candle, think pine, cinnamon, or clove — can set the mood without overwhelming their senses. Pair it with soft lighting, like a string of fairy lights or a few LED candles, and you’ve created a tranquil retreat.
