Homes for Entertaining: Making a Lasting Impression (Part 2 of 3)

Welcome to Part 2 of the blog series about making a lasting impression on guests!


As the ultimate host, your top priority is making sure your guests feel right at home. Crafting spaces that radiate warmth is the key to giving your guests an unforgettable experience. 


Cozy Guest Retreats


If you've got a designated guest bedroom, go the extra mile to fashion a snug sanctuary. Splash out on top-notch bedding and linens for a night of blissful sleep. Treat your guests to a cloud-like mattress topper, plush pillows, and snug blankets, ensuring they feel pampered and cherished. In bedrooms, going all out in texture is never a bad choice!

Tailor the storage to match the length of their stay (or how long you hope they'll stick around!). A full closet and dresser might be overkill, so use space wisely! Add thoughtful details like a bedside table with a reading lamp, a vase of fresh flowers, and a selection of books or magazines to dial up the hospitality.


Bath Bliss


Guest bathrooms should be stocked with all the necessities. It is terrible to have a headache strike at 1 in the morning and be forced to either endure or wake up your sleeping hosts for Tylenol! Fill the bathroom with fluffy towels, top-notch toiletries, and scented candles for an ambiance that's pure tranquility. Toss in a small basket with essentials like toothpaste, shampoo, and lotion for your guests' convenience.




Keep the bathroom tidy, with plenty of room for your guests' bits and bobs. Elevate the experience with extras like a plush bathrobe and slippers, making your guests feel like they're on a lavish escape.


Considerate Extras 


Predicting your guests' needs and providing considerate extras goes a long way. To really wow them, I love these bonbons from Stick With Me Sweets in NYC. From the presentation to the beautiful chocolates to the incredible flavors, these will ensure you as their favorite hosts!




Ensure easy access to Wi-Fi info, chargers, and outlets for a seamless connection and device charging. In chilly months, have a stash of extra blankets and throws on hand for added coziness.


Stay tuned for the final installation next week!
