Our Checklist
1. Plush Towels & Robes: Invest in high-quality, extra-fluffy towels and consider offering a cozy robe for them to use. Bonus points for pre-warming them! Offer guests a separate set of hand towels so they don't have to use the ones hanging by the sink.
2. Luxurious Toiletries: Ditch generic bottles and provide travel-sized shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and bath salts. Opt for natural, gentle formulations.
3. Aromatic Accents: Diffuse essential oils like lavender or lemongrass for a calming ambiance, or light a scented candle.
4. Ample Storage: Ensure guests have places to put their belongings by providing a basket for toiletries, a shelf for personal items, and hooks for towels and clothes. Maybe label cabinets and drawers clearly, especially if storing extra toilet paper or other essentials.
5. Nightlight: Install a soft nightlight for late-night visits, helping guests navigate without fully turning on the lights.
6. Fresh Flowers or Greenery: Introduce a touch of life with a small bouquet or potted plant (real or faux) that complements your bathroom's design.
7. Cozy Artwork & Decor: Hang calming artwork, add decorative trays with candles or soaps, or display personal touches like seashells or travel souvenirs.
8. Reading Material and Soft Music: Leave a stack of magazines or light reading material to keep guests entertained. Create a relaxing atmosphere with a Bluetooth speaker playing calming music.
9. Items To Have On Hand: Be sure there's a readily available spare roll of toilet paper that is easily accessible and visible. Provide extra personal items such as toothpaste, hairspray, etc., just in case your guests leave theirs at home.
10. Neat and Tidy: Keep the space clutter-free and provide a small, lined wastebasket with a lid for their convenience. Always replace used towels promptly and ensure everything is clean and tidy.
11. Check Your Fixtures: You should consider swapping out your shower head or installing a shower massage. Make sure that drains are clean and water is flowing freely.
12. Personalized Note: Leave a handwritten welcome note or a small treat to show your guests you care.
By incorporating these simple yet thoughtful touches, you can transform your guest bathroom into a haven of comfort and hospitality. Remember, the little things make a big difference and leave a lasting impression on your visitors. So, create a guest bathroom that welcomes everyone with open arms ... and fluffy towels!
