Fred’s Beds Cumming Mattress Store Shares How to Outfit the Perfect Guest Room

Welcoming Guests To Sleep Tight

Hosting guests and making sure they enjoy their stay can be a totally satisfying experience. However, having overnight guests can also feel a little intimidating, especially if you haven’t paid enough attention to your guest room for quite some time. Is there anything you can do to make it feel more comfortable and welcoming? Here are some helpful suggestions from the leading Cumming mattress store to turn your drab spare bedroom into a charming oasis.

How to Set Up the Ultimate Guest Room

Start with a great bed. You want your guest to feel welcome and comfortable so outfit your guest room with a good quality bed and mattress. While the bed doesn’t necessarily have to be brand new, the mattress should have a particularly luxurious feel to it. After all, you wouldn’t want your guest to spend the night tossing and turning, right?

If your current mattress doesn’t quite make the cut, it’s time for a new mattress. Check out the great mattress selection from the best Cumming mattress store to know your options, Fred’s Beds.

Pay attention to your bedding. A great sleeping experience wouldn’t be complete without comfy bedding so use clean and crisp sheets to cover that perfect mattress. Top it off with a cushy duvet or comforter. And, don’t forget to throw in two or more fluffy pillows in freshly ironed pillowcases and some extra blankets (for guests who get cold easily and love to layer up) to create the ultimate wow factor.

Additional tips:

• Use cool bamboo sheets during the warm months but always provide a blanket or lightweight comforter in case it gets chilly in the morning.
• Always keep an extra set of bed linens available in case of accidents. Keep it clean. As a general rule, the guest room should be spotlessly clean and clutter-free so get rid of anything that doesn’t belong there (such as your personal collections and out of season clothes). Keep in mind that the more space you have available, the more comfortable your guests will be.

Make it smell good. A guest room that smells good will truly delight your guests so put a small bouquet of fresh flowers on the bedside table. You can also use a lightly scented pillow mist or leave some aromatic candles to do the trick.

Provide a luggage rack. There is nothing more tedious than constantly bending over when unpacking so equip your guest room with a luggage rack. If you don’t have one, a small table, bench, or chair will do. You should also provide an empty closet (or at least a foot or two of empty pole space in the closet), a dresser, or a chest of drawers so your guest doesn’t have to live out of a suitcase.

Keep bath essentials handy. Providing a basket of toiletries can show your guests that you have thought of all their needs and have gone the extra mile to make them feel welcome. It is so easy to forget your toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, sunscreen, Q-tips, razor, and all those seemingly small items when you’re busy packing so go ahead and stock the bath for your guest. Consider providing a couple of fresh towels, a plush robe and a pair of slippers and put them where your guest can easily see them.

Have a desk and a comfy chair. Consider providing a temporary workstation if you have some extra space. Guests who will be staying for a while will find this especially helpful since they will have a dedicated space if they need to get some work done. If you don’t have enough space, putting an upholstered armchair near a good light source can be a good alternative.

Let there be enough light. Don’t let your guests grope in the dark when they wake up in the middle of the night. Have a small night light or put a light control near the bed to make sure this doesn’t happen. You may also install an adjustable desk lamp near the bed so your guest can read her favorite book or write some emails before calling it a night.

Keep them entertained. Aside from providing some good reading materials (a good book, magazines, local paper), having a TV and a DVD player in the guest room is always a welcome treat. Don’t forget to provide your WiFi account information and post it in a prominent place so your guests don’t have to ask for it repeatedly.

Provide some treats. Consider putting a water carafe and glass set on the bedside table along with some healthy treats (fresh fruits, granola bars, a box of mints), wrapped snacks, or cookies in case your guest wants some late-night snacks. Setting up a coffee and tea station in the guest room is also a great idea.

Share info. Help your guests explore the place like a local! Provide area maps, tourist destination brochures, and a list of all the great dining and shopping areas around town. This is especially helpful when they have to go around town on their own.

Ensure privacy. Instead of using thin, airy window coverings, install thick curtains or blackout shades to provide the ultimate privacy and the perfect environment for a good night’s sleep.
