Expecting Guests for Christmas? Three Ways to Make Your Guest Room Extra Welcoming!

Plymouth is a great city to visit, so many of us will be expecting to open up our homes to family or friends from other places over the Christmas holidays, ready to celebrate together on Christmas Day. If you are having overnight guests over the Christmas period, making your guest room as comfortable and festive as you can, can make their stay far more enjoyable, so here are some ideas to help you prepare the perfect room for your visitors:

Great Bed Linen

It's cold around these parts in December, so a nice warm duvet is a must, but you can make things that bit more luxurious by cracking out some brand new, high quality bed linen for your guests to enjoy, rather than whatever you happen to have spare. Investing in some attractive duvet covers and pillow cases like those you can find at good prices from Threel is well worth it, because they will not only be appreciated by your guests and give the room that 'wow' factor when they come inside, but they will also keep the room looking nice the rest of the time.

Some Christmas Decorations In The Room

Make the room feel special and keep the Christmas spirit going even after your guests go off to bed by putting some Christmas decorations in the guest room. Obviously this doesn't have to be over the top – you don't need to turn the guest room into Santa's gaudy grotto to get the right effect – but subtle touches like a small Christmas tree on the nightstand or a little bit of tinsel around picture frames or mirrors can be a nice touch. If children will be sleeping in the room, you may want to do a little more to make it more magical for them, perhaps by having some fairy lights around the headboard or some fake snow on the windows. These fun little touches can make it feel more like Christmas and help your guests stay in a festive mood!

Extra Heating Options

People tend to have all different ideas about the best temperature to sleep at, and so while you may have good heating and keep your house nice and warm, some guests may still prefer the room to be a little warmer than you do when they sleep. To help make sure they get a good night of sleep and are full of energy for all the Christmas festivities, offer some extra options for warmth. Good ways of doing this can be with electric blankets or heating pads, though you could also supply hot water bottles, or even just a stash of extra blankets that they can get out and use if they want to. On the flipside, allow people to open the windows if they get too hot in the room.

These are just three ways to make your guests feel happy and at home over the Christmas holidays if they are sleeping in your spare bedroom.
