Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude, family, and, of course, delicious food. But for many, it's also a time of hosting loved ones from out of town. Preparing your home, especially the guest room, can make a world of difference in ensuring your visitors feel welcomed and comfortable. In this post, we'll delve into the fundamental aspects of organizing a guest room, highlight our company's diverse selection of bedroom furniture, and provide valuable insights on selecting the perfect bedding and accessories.
The Essentials of Setting Up a Guest Room
Comfort is Key: The primary goal of any guest room is to provide comfort. Ensure the room is clean, decluttered, and free from any personal items that might be stored there.
Privacy: Your guests should feel like they have their own space. Install curtains or blinds to give them the privacy they need.
Amenities: Think of what you'd like in a hotel room. A small desk, a chair, a reading lamp, and perhaps a few magazines or books can make the room feel more inviting.
Showcasing Our Bedroom Furniture Range
Beds: Our bed collection ranges from sleek, modern designs to classic, ornate styles. Whether you're looking for a queen-sized bed with upholstered headboards or a minimalist platform bed, we have something to suit every taste.
Nightstands: A nightstand isn't just a place to put a lamp. It's where your guests can store their essentials. Our range includes designs with drawers, shelves, and combinations of both.
Additional Furniture: Depending on the size of your guest room, consider adding a dresser, a vanity, or even a storage bench. Our designs are both functional and stylish, ensuring they complement any room aesthetic.
Choosing the Right Bedding and Accessories
Quality Matters: Invest in high-quality sheets with a decent thread count. They might be a bit pricier, but the comfort they provide is unparalleled.
Pillows, Duvets, and Blankets: Offer a variety of pillows (both soft and firm) and have extra bedding available. A good quality duvet can make a significant difference in ensuring a warm and cozy sleep.
Personal Touches: A vase with fresh flowers, a scented candle, or even a personalized welcome note can make your guests feel truly special. Candles, in particular, can set a calming ambiance, making the room feel even more inviting. Don’t forget your candle holders. Not only do they help elevate the décor in the room, but also prevent the candle from being knocked over or nudged easily.
Practical Accessories: Ensure there's a clock, some tissues, and a waste bin in the room. A charging station or extra chargers for various devices can also be a thoughtful addition.
Cozy Additions: A runner rug can instantly elevate the coziness of the room, offering a soft touch underfoot and adding a splash of color or texture to the decor.
Direct Ship Option: If you're pressed for time or can't find the perfect piece in-store, our Direct Ship option is always available. While Direct Ship items typically take about 3-5 business days to be shipped and another 7-10 business days to be delivered, they can be a lifesaver for last-minute preparations. These items mainly consist of smaller objects like home decor, making them perfect for adding those finishing touches to your guest room.
Preparing your guest room for Thanksgiving visitors doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the right furniture, bedding, and thoughtful additions like candles and runner rugs, you can create a haven of comfort and style for your loved ones.
