Preparing Your Bathroom for Those Holiday Guests

Preparing Your Bathroom for Those Holiday Guests

With the rush of the holidays comes the rush of overnight guests. If you are hosting out of town guests than I have to ask you this important question is your bathroom ready for those extra guests? Is it inviting and relaxing or does it look more like a truck stop bathroom? If the answer is the latter than you here are some tips to make your bathroom more spa like and inviting, almost to the point they won’t want to leave.

First, stock up on travel size toiletries. Think of your house as hotel and that you want to make your guests feel as welcome as if they were actually staying at one. Having these travel size toiletries will help your guest feel welcomed and also help them just in case they forget something as everyone often does.

Make sure to put out the good towels. I know we all have towels that we can bear to throw away. You know the ones with ratty holes that are loved. But do you want your guests to use those towels? So invest in a nice set just for guests.

Make sure that you have candles and air fresheners available. You never know when an unpleasant smell may occur, if you know what I mean.

Take a hard look at your shower. Has the shower curtain seen better days? Then consider replacing it. And while you are it look at the shower head you might want to consider replacing your showerhead.

So now we are out of the shower look to the vanity and sink. Set up a tray for your guests to hold their makeup or other toiletries. Provide a cup or a holder for their toothbrushes and toothpaste. And lastly make sure that the bathroom is well lit. If you have light bulbs that are blown out now is the good time to replace them. Do you have to turn the handles of your bathroom faucets with pliers than you might want to consider replacing them.

Once you have done all of this, your bathroom will be an inviting retreat for your guest this holiday season. Do you have other tips to make your bathroom inviting?
