🎄 6 Steps to a Guest-Ready Holiday Home

The holidays are coming — and so are your guests! ✨

(and a special Holiday Home Prep offer you won’t want to miss!)

If your guest room doubles as a storage zone for extra stuff, or if your bathroom cabinets could use a refresh, you’re not alone. This time of year can sneak up fast, and most people end up scrambling the night before to hide piles behind closet doors or under the bed.

This year, let’s take the stress out of hosting. With a few intentional steps, you can create a peaceful, welcoming space that makes your guests feel right at home — and lets you actually enjoy the season.

Declutter the Guest Room

Start by reclaiming your guest space. It’s easy for this room to become the “catch-all” throughout the year — but now’s the perfect time to reset it. Clear the surfaces, remove anything that doesn’t belong, and make space for calm before the chaos of the holidays.

Tidy the Closet

A neat closet does wonders for a guest room. Instead of stuffing random items inside, create space for guests to hang their clothes or stash their luggage. Even a few open hangers and some extra shelf space can make the room feel more inviting.

Prep Extra Storage

Think functional and beautiful. Add a woven basket for fresh towels, extra blankets, or small essentials. It’s a stylish way to stay organized while showing your guests that you thought of everything.

Use Under-Bed Space

This often-overlooked area is prime real estate. Slide baskets or bins underneath to store off-season items or spare linens. Keeping this space neat helps your guest room feel open, airy, and clutter-free.

Finish the Guest Bath

Fresh flowers, clean hand towels, and matching soap with lotion can completely transform the feel of a bathroom. Stock up on essentials — extra toilet paper, travel-size toiletries, and toothbrushes — so guests never have to ask.

Enjoy the Moment

Once your home is prepped and peaceful, take time to actually enjoy it. Hosting is about connection, gratitude, and shared memories — not perfection. You’ve created a space that feels warm, intentional, and ready for joy.
