You don’t need five-star accommodations to make your holiday guests feel at home. You’ll be surprised how far a clean, well-thought-out space and a few small luxuries can go. This is doubly true for one of the most important areas in your home: the bathroom.
Focus on Thoughtful Touches
Let’s preface this list with what should be obvious to any good host: your bathroom must be clean and fully functional. If you need to change a light fixture or call a pro for a shower replacement, do so before your guests arrive.
Once you’ve got that covered, the rest is easy:
-
Linens. Treat your guests to your nicest bath and hand towels, washcloths, rugs and shower curtains.
-
Toiletries and medicines. Your guests will thank you for stocking things they may have forgotten to pack. These include shampoo, hand soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, cotton balls—anything you’d expect a traveler would need. An accessible first aid kit complete with headache and allergy medication is also a thoughtful touch.
-
Toilet supplies. Keep extra toilet paper, a toilet brush and a plunger handy in your main or guest bathroom to spare your guests a possible embarrassing episode.
-
Laundry hamper and trash can. Make it easy for your guests to keep their home away from home tidy by providing these two often-overlooked essentials.
-
Special extras. Add flowers or potted plants on tables. Scent the room with reed diffusers, scented candles or potpourri. Create an in-home spa by providing bath oils, bath sponges and loofahs. These nice-to-haves can elevate a guest’s experience from so-so to luxurious.
