5 Ways to Prepare Your Home for Special Guests
If you are hosting houseguests in your home, it’s your duty to make them feel comfortable and welcomed. You also want to put your best foot forward so that they will form a good opinion about you and your home.
Here, then, are five things you can do to make the best first impression for your houseguests:
5. Have Your Home Professionally Cleaned
You want your home to be as neat and clean as possible. But you may not have the time and energy necessary to bring your home up to its highest standards.
This is a problem with a simple solution: Hire a professional cleaning service to come in and detail your home from top to bottom. Try to schedule your home’s cleaning as close to the arrival date of your guests as possible so there’s little time for it to get dirty.
4. Highlight Your Frameless Glass Shower Doors
Make sure your cleaners thoroughly clean your frameless glass shower doors so that they sparkle. Frameless shower doors can serve as the centerpiece of your bathroom and a highlight of your home.
Have them cleaned thoroughly inside and out. Once they are cleaned, don’t use that shower until after your guests get a chance to see them in all their contemporary glory.
3. Provide Guest Amenities
As you prepare your home for your guests, think of it as an exclusive five-star hotel. Provide your guests will all of the amenities they would find at a top-tier resort, such as clean, folded bath towels topped with a fresh flower and high end toiletries in personal sized containers.
2. Plan a Fancy Welcoming Meal
Greet your guest with the sights and smells of your best cooking. The way to their hearts is through their stomaches. Complement the meal with a few bottles of nice wine to set a relaxed, friendly mood.
- Be Yourself
The best way to make your guests comfortable in your home is to simply be your normal, relaxed self. If you are calm, cool, and collected they will be as well.
