The holidays are here, and y’all know what that means—guests! Whether it’s your parents, your college roommate, or that one cousin who always shows up unannounced (we all have one), it’s time to turn your guest room into a cozy little getaway. Don’t worry—it’s easier than it sounds! With a few simple tweaks and thoughtful touches, you can create a space that screams “Welcome!”
Oh, and spoiler alert: fresh flowers are your new BFF for this project. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Start with the Basics
First things first, make sure your guest room has all the essentials:
- Fresh sheets and extra blankets: Layer with cozy textures like flannel or knit throws. Bonus points if you have a heated blanket handy!
- Pillows, pillows, and more pillows: Everyone loves options. Mix in some soft ones for sleeping and a few decorative pillows for that Pinterest-worthy vibe.
- Bedside water bottles: A hydrated guest is a happy guest.
Step 2: Set the Mood
Once the basics are handled, it’s time to bring in the vibes. Think of this as setting the stage for your guests to walk in and go, “Wow, I want to stay here forever!”
- Scented candles or a diffuser: Go for cozy scents like vanilla, cinnamon, or cedarwood to bring the holiday feels.
- Dim lighting: String lights, a cute bedside lamp, or even battery-operated candles can make the space extra magical.
- Holiday-themed decor: Swap out neutral accents for festive ones! Think plaid throws, mini wreaths, or even a holiday-themed sign.
Step 3: Add the Lone Star Touch
No guest room is complete without fresh flowers. (We’re biased, but it’s true.) Lone Star Living bouquets are perfect for this—especially our new denim-wrapped beauties. Pop a bouquet in a vase on the nightstand or dresser, and BOOM. Instant charm. Bonus: they double as a sweet welcome gift!
Step 4: Go the Extra Mile
Now, let’s add the finishing touches that will make your guests feel like they’re staying at a 5-star hotel (or better).
- Toiletries basket: Include travel-size shampoos, soaps, toothpaste, and don’t forget makeup wipes.
- Care package: Add their favorite snacks, a cute pair of socks, or even a small notebook and pen. It’s the little things that make the most significant impact!
- Personal touches: If you know their favorite coffee, tea, or even candy, surprise them with it. They’ll feel so seen.
Step 5: Don’t Forget the Details
A little thoughtfulness goes a long way! Leave a quick note welcoming your guests and letting them know where to find extras like towels or Wi-Fi info.
