I talked about decorating the bedroom for the holidays, but guest bedrooms are a bit different than family bedrooms. Just like with regular bedrooms, you’ll want to switch out bedspreads and do a few other basics, but an important part of getting a guest bedroom ready for the holidays is adding plenty of homey touches to the space.
- Start with the bed. If you already dressed the room up a bit, you probably have that cheery holiday spread on it. Add a cozy holiday afghan at the foot of the bed. A guest who gets chilly in the middle of the night will appreciate being able to get warm without wandering the house in search of another blanket.
- Add a basket of holiday extras, like a few holiday books from popular authors like Janet Evanovich and a favorite Christmas DVD, to the nightstand.
- Dress up the bed tray for the holidays with an artificial Poinsettia flower or a few plastic ornaments.
- Top the stack of guest towels off with new holiday slippers and a gingerbread scented soap.
- Tuck a cozy chair into a corner and stick a holiday pillow on it. If your guest prefers to curl up in the chair to read or watch a movie, he or she can do so in comfort.
Do you add any special touches to the guest bedroom over the holidays?
