Style your spare room with curated touches to host overnight guests like a luxury hotel.
In brief
Style your spare room with curated touches to host overnight guests like a luxury hotel. Host overnight guests in your spare room with curated details like layered bedding, blackout curtains, and subtle scents for a boutique hotel feel. Originally reported by Woman's World.
Welcome guests with curated details
Confirm dietary preferences, allergies, sleep habits, pet concerns and mobility needs before guests arrive.
“Do a walk-through, demonstrate how to use the TV and remotes (and provide passwords for streaming their favorite shows).”
Layered bedding for hotel feel
Use a good mattress topper, two pillow firmness options and a spare blanket folded at the foot.
“A beautifully made bed can truly evoke a sense of peace, reminiscent of stepping into a lovely hotel room.”
Blackout curtains and sleep aids
Hang blackout curtains and keep sleep masks, earplugs or a small white noise machine within reach.
“Clear each nightstand down to a lamp with an easy switch and a phone charger.”
Scent for luxury feel
Use warm, woody scents to create a five-star hotel-like atmosphere without renovations.
“Warm, woody scents do the heavy lifting in luxury hotel fragrance.”
Bathroom styling for guests
Lay out bath towels, hand towels and washcloths, and arrange a mini toiletry station.
“Keep scent subtle with a candle or diffuser and skip anything heavy.”
Avoid hosting mistakes
Don't make guests ask for basics, overschedule the weekend, or save house rules for after.
“Creating space for downtime, rest and connection really is a gift to guests.”
The one thing
Host overnight guests in your spare room with curated details like layered bedding, blackout curtains, and subtle scents for a boutique hotel feel.
