Guest Room Glow Up

Expecting houseguests and hoping to impress? Prepping your home and giving your guest room a cozy glow-up can bring on the ‘wow’ factor and help your visitors feel right at home.

How to Prepare For House Guests

1. Être proactif et se préparer

The first step in getting ready for house guests is to make sure you’ve got all the essentials beforehand. Thinking ahead and anticipating their needs is your key to being the host(ess) with the most(est)!

Our 5 Star Essentials Checklist is your secret weapon for hosting like a pro. It’s packed with everything you’ll want on hand before guests roll in — from fluffy towels to cozy sheets. 

No last-minute scrambles, no forgotten must-haves — just calm, confident hosting and happy guests from the moment they arrive.

2. Nettoyer et organiser

More than a pretty face, a clean space shows your guests that you care and lets them know they’re in good hands.

Your clean-up routine might include dusting, vacuuming, decluttering common areas, and giving the bathroom a good scrub. Just don’t forget to show some extra love to the guest room — it’s where your visitors will spend the most time!

Providing freshly laundered bedding and arming your guest beds with extra soft, mess-shielding mattress and pillow protectors signals to your visitors that they’re in for a clean stay, and makes it easier for you to launder when they leave.

3. Glow It Up

Dress your guest room to impress — and to make it feel warm and inviting. A great place to start is with art — both on the walls and on the bed. Give the guest bed a fresh look with luxury designer linens and cottage-inspired quilt sets, perfect for stylish summer stays. And of course, don’t skip the foundation: soft, cozy sheets are a must!

Next, layer in comfort with throw blankets and cushions to give your space the cozy factor. Mixing textures and colours also adds depth and personality to your space, giving it that polished, guest-ready feel without trying too hard.

4. Rendre les choses personnelles

Finally, don’t forget to think about your guests’ individual needs and preferences. Small yet thoughtful touches leave a big impression.

For example, if one of your visitors has dietary restrictions, be sure to stock up on snacks and meal options they can enjoy. If they have seasonal allergies, you might want to skip the fresh flowers on the nightstand.

Some guests may also be sensitive to things like down, wool, or dust mites, so having allergen-free bedding on hand is a smart idea. Need help with that? Check out our guide to common bedding allergies and how to allergy-proof your home.
