Everyone wants to be a perfect host when they are welcoming people to their home. Here are a few tips to help to create a cozy atmosphere so that your guests immediately feel at home in your place:
CREATE AN INVITING GUEST ROOM: With a little elbow grease and a dose of creativity, you can offer an inviting guestroom. Creating a cozy atmosphere is easy with soft blankets and scented candles. Stock the nightstand with everything that you would want in your own room. Examples include a vase of fresh flowers, magazines that highlight the best food and drink of your local area, a night light, hand cream, bottled waters, and snacks.
STOCK THE KITCHEN: Before your guest arrives, be sure to ask them about any dietary needs or preferences. Taking the time to stock your kitchen with all of their favorites will go a long way in making them comfortable in your home. When they arrive, be sure to show them around the kitchen so that they know where to find everything. The last thing that you want is for your guest to feel uncomfortable having to ask the host for everything. Making them feel welcome to help themselves to anything in the kitchen will assist in making them to feel comfortable and not intrusive.
