Getting your guest bedroom ready for Christmas

With the holidays right around the corner it’s time to start thinking about holiday entertaining. If you plan on having guests stay with you for Christmas, then it also means you’ll need to have a comfortable, inviting, and festive bedroom for them to stay in. So how can you achieve this look? Well there are a number of great tips you can use depending on the space you have available, and your budget.

The Perfect Bed for Guests

Nothing shows guests that they are welcomed more than a comfortable and relaxing bed to sleep in. Handmade wooden sleigh beds by Revival Beds are an excellent option for anyone looking for a high-quality, comfortable, and versatile option. Sleigh beds are one of the most popular styles available and you’ll find you can dress it up or down depending on your décor.
If you’re unsure of what finish of wood to get, a medium-tone stain is a neutral that works with all décor, paint, and linens. It will never go out of style, so you won’t have to worry about updating it in the years to come.

Appeal to the Sense of Smell

Now that you’ve given your guests a comfortable bed, it’s time to set the Christmas mood. Smell is something that is very powerful and sparks memories and feelings in us. You can place scented candles in the room, scented pine cones, potpourri, and use linen spray. Smells that are typically associated with Christmas include cinnamon, apples, vanilla, pine, and spice blends.

Décor Touches

While most of us don’t want to make a commitment and buy a Christmas themed comforter or duvet cover, we can certainly add decorative touches instead. Pick up a warm set of flannel sheets with a fun Christmas theme; add a fabulous and soft throw in red, green, or white. Plaid is usually associated with Christmas and winter in general, giving you the ability to use it for the months after Christmas as well. Finish the look off with a few fun Christmas pillows.

If you have a dresser or night table in your guest room look for small decorative pieces such as a gilded gold tree, a small vase filled with Christmas ornaments, Christmas-themed mugs to place on each end table, a hanging wreath, or garland draped on the headboard of the bed. Mini lights are also a great touch and can be used within garland or on their own.

Another popular touch is to hang stockings somewhere in the room. Think about hanging them from a dresser, the footboard of your bed, or from a chair.
If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in your guestroom, then you can make it a focal point and go all out in décor making use of the mantle.

Making Your Guests Feel Comfortable

It’s all about making your guests feel comfortable and welcome and sharing that Christmas spirit. Your guests are sure to appreciate all the work you’ve put in to ensure it is a memorable holiday.
