re you opening your
doors to family
members or friends this holiday season?
Here are some no fail ideas to prep your
guest room with holiday cheer—many
items may even be on sale! Holly Jolly
indeed.
Spare Some Space
Clear out some space in your entryway. Depending on the climate
where you live, your guests may have bulky coats, boots, and other
cold-weather accessories. To keep that stuff neatly out the way during
their stay, arrange for plenty of extra room by your front door and in
your coat closet beforehand. Many guest room closets tend to house
other long-term storage—oversized suitcases, boxes of decorations, old
kids' clothes. While guests tend to look past this, make sure there is
an appropriate amount of empty space on the closet rod for hanging
clothes, and that the closet floor is clear for shoes and bags. Also make
sure there is at least one empty dresser (even if it doubles as a small
nightstand) for storing folded clothes. Keep a range of empty hangers
available in the closet, including wooden blazer hangers, a few velvet
hangers for delicate clothing, and a handful of skirt and pant hangers.
