How to prepare your guest bathroom for the holidays?



Holidays are the perfect time to have friends and family over, and hosting overnight guests sometimes just ought to happen! To treat overnight guests to a hotel experience, start with turning your guest bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary. This thoughtful gesture of hospitality will surely make your guests feel welcome and comfortable during their stay.

Here's how to get your guest bathroom holiday-ready:

Clean and Declutter

Start by removing any clutter or personal items to create a clean and inviting space for your guests. Tip: if you have a lot of other things to do, treat yourself to a day off from cleaning and hire a professional cleaning service to do the cleaning work for you.

 

Stock Up on Essentials

Make sure the bathroom is well-stocked with essential items such as 

  • fresh towels
  • toilet paper
  • hand soap
  • hand towels
  • bath towels
  • tissues
  • cotton swabs
  • cotton balls
  • air freshener
  • hair dryer

Add Festive Decorations

Spruce up the guest bathroom with festive decorations to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Consider adding holiday-themed hand towels, soap dispensers, scented candles, garlands or small ornaments.

Provide Toiletry Essentials

Set out a basket or tray filled with toiletry essentials that your guests may have forgotten to pack, such as 

  • shampoo
  • conditioner
  • body wash
  • body oil or moisturizer 
  • toothpaste
  • toothbrushes
  • dental floss
  • mouthwash and disposable cups
  • disposable shower caps
  • feminine products
  • shaving gel or cream
  • makeup remover
  • disposable razors
  • mini deodorant
  • basic first aid

Spruce Up the Bathtub

Invite your guests to indulge in a bath night warm soak with the right bathtub essentials, such as 

  • bathtub tray
  • tub pillow
  • bath soak
  • tub pillow
  • bluetooth speaker
  • rope and slippers

Include Special Touches

Consider adding special touches to make your guests feel pampered and cared for. Provide scented candles, a small vase of fresh flowers, or a bowl of holiday treats for them to enjoy during their stay.

Leave a drawer empty 

If possible, consider keeping one drawer empty for overnight guests to store their personal items, especially if you have out-of-towners for an extended period.

This list may be a bit extensive, but hopefully, it will serve as a helpful guide, allowing you to select what works best for you and your guests. Whatever you decide to do — remember to have fun doing it!

Have a wonderful Holiday season!
