June is right around the corner! Besides the holidays, summer is by far the most popular season to travel for weddings, family gatherings and birthday celebrations. The list goes on—but summer is the time for reunions. Travel season also means house guests for many—and we’re here to help. Here are five easy ways to create a serene guest bedroom that your visitors are sure to love!
1. Have a desk in the room for guests to work, should they have any pressing tasks during their stay. Fill the drawers with pens, pencils, and notepads (make sure to include the wifi information); furbish the tabletop with a stylish stapler and lamp, thoughtfully placing a telephone on the desk for your guests to make calls home, if you have a landline.
2. Install blackout curtains, just in case your guests feel like sleeping in—they’re on vacation, after all!
3. Fill the closet with hangers and extra bedding like wool throws, in the likelihood that your guests need extra warmth during their stay.
4. Use antique suitcases in place of a bedside table. This is a simple addition to the space that adds a creative spin to a traditional bedroom. Simply stack 3 or 4 vintage suitcases, add a tray, and voilá!
5. Dress the bedside table with fresh flowers, candles (include matches, just in case), and your favorite books for guests to enjoy during their stay. Add a personal touch by including a framed photo of your family to make the space feel more like home.
