Today we are going to present you some pointers on how you can create the perfect and most welcoming guest room.

Start by painting the walls in a neutral colour such as white, grey, beige and so on. Neutral colors are adored by everybody and more important don’t affect human behavior and mood. This way your guests will also feel comfortable and cozy.

Guest RoomOnce the paint has dried contact a junk removal company and have it come and collect the rubbish that has accumulated during the painting. It is for the best if you use professional waste clearance services as contractors that provide the services can handle the job much more quickly than you and more importantly because you have other things to take care of before your guests arrive.

Now that your guest room is junk-free, grab an empty basket or garbage bag and start collecting all the items that aren’t supposed to be in the room. Once you have amassed everything, sort them into three piles: to keep, to throw and to donate.

Clean the room from top to bottom. Vacuum the carpet and wash the curtains. Wipe clean all the surfaces and if necessary launder the upholstery. Open the windows and allow all nasty odors to get out. When done you can place an aromatiser to freshen the interior air on a frequent basis.

Next place a bed that is large enough to accommodate easily two people. The main function of your guest room is to provide your visitors the rest that they need after their tiring days. Also always place a new set of bed linens before your guests arrive. The scent of freshly washed sheets will give a more welcoming atmosphere to the room.

Flank the bed with two night tables, so that your visitors can have a place where they can place a glass of water for the night, their cell phones, books, magazines and etc. Speaking of books and magazines, always leave reading materials in the room. This way, your guests will have something to do while they are relaxing.

If you wish you can also arrange a television and stereo system in the room. By doing so, you will give to your visitors the opportunity to watch their favorite movies and TV shows without them feeling uncomfortable that you may be watching something that isn’t interesting to you because of them.

If the room has its own bathroom, make sure that you change the old towels with new ones. Also head to your local store and purchase new bottles of liquid soap and shampoo. Last but not least replace the toilet paper and leave several extra rolls.

Empty the wardrobe and leave a large amount of hangers, so that your guests can properly unpack their clothes and arrange them meticulously into the closet. Don’t forget to place scented tablets into the wardrobe.

As you can see preparing the ideal guest room isn’t as hard as you may think, you simply have to follow these steps and you will be able to provide to your visitors a marvelous stay at your place.
