Can you feel the warmth of cozy afternoons and aroma of pumpkin pies in the air? Can you notice that the festive season is right around the corner and there is a slight chill in the evening air.

Isn’t this the perfect time to set up the cozy corner in your house for the guests that would be coming to stay for the celebrations and festivals. The best time of the year where the craziness of the season has not kicked in yet but you can feel the festive hustle bustle bubbling up.

It doesn’t matter whether your guests will be staying in for a longer duration or just one night, the carefully designed and decorated guest room can make them feel at the epitome of luxury and a five star treatment they will never forget.

Let us quickly follow through the checklist for a cozy, comfortable and memorable stay for your guests this season.

1. A comfortable and well-made Bed – A bed with clean crisp covers and fluffed pillows with soft glow of the night light sounds so welcoming that it brings a sigh to you own face. Isn’t it? Imagine how welcoming and comfortable it will make your guests feel the instant they will lay their eyes on it.

Coyuchi and Area Home are my favorite and go to brands for bedding. All Coyuchi products begin with 100% organic fibers and a traceable supply chain. Click on the link below to know more about in detail.

2. Hamper of Necessities – A small hamper of clean toothbrush, essential toiletries, and basic medicine box can make your guests feel instantly at ease. And your thoughtfulness will bring a tender smile across their faces as well.

3. Waste Can and Laundry Bags - A waste can that is fully covered to dispose off the waste and laundry bags to store their laundry in will be a much needed add on not just for the ease of guests but also for the maintenance of the rigorous cleaning you did before the guests arrived.

4. Clean Towels and Extra Toilet Papers – Do not forget to put the stack of clean towels and extra toilet papers at the places where your guests can access it easily without feeling the need to ask you.

5. Fresh Flowers and/or Planters – Designate a beautiful corner of the room for freshly cut aromatic flowers as per the taste and preference of your guests. It is always preferable to maybe put something of their own likings and it will definitely make your guests feel amazing.

6. Jug of Water and Glasses with coasters – A carefully organised tray with coasters and glasses with a water jug sounds great, especially for the mid night thirst strikes. And what will give you brownie points is the small snack box with a couple snacks tucked in their near the glasses as well.

7. Fuzzy Comfy Slippers – A set of comfy slippers sounds super relaxing to our own feet after a long and tiring day.

8. Remotes of Electronic Gadgets and Wi-Fi Passwords – Never underestimate the role of electronics and Wi-Fi when it comes to hosting guests over. They are SUPER important at this time and era. And you know why.

This list sounds super simple but it definitely needs a lot of hard work and carefully articulated planning for the five star luxury stay you aim to provide your guests this fall season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Hosting to you All…..
