Tips to Setup Apartment Guest Room

1. Clean your Room and Create Some Rooms for Your Guests:

Before hosting overnight guests at your apartment,  to make them comfortable first, you need to clean your space thoroughly. Clean all the cluttered clothes and shoes, clean all the surfaces, and then, by using a vacuum cleaner, clean the floor. This will certainly create some space where you can arrange all your guest’s belongings. Add a few hangers-on your closet so that your guests can unpack everything easily. You can also rearrange your sofa or tea table to make a place for baggage. Don’t forget to create space in your washroom by cleaning and removing unnecessary items so that your guests can comfortably keep their prerequisite items in the cabinet drawer.

2. Buy a Good Quality Air Mattress:

Your apartment doesn’t have any futon or a pull-out sofa? Don’t worry, still, you can give your guests the best experience by investing in a high-quality air mattress. Many companies are offering the best quality air mattresses with some key features like extra pillows, a velvet-like top, and a pump.

3. Welcome Them with Your Coziest Blankets and Sheets:

You may not unable to welcome your guests with facilities like a five-star hotel, but still, you can feel them comfortable with your superior sheets and comfy blankets. Welcome your guests with a cotton or linen sheet during the months of summer and flannel sheet during the winter. Don’t forget to add some pillows to make them more comfortable and contented. Embrace your guests with various pillows so that they can handpick the best one as per their like and preference.

4. Create a Sleep-Friendly Atmosphere in Your Living Room:

Sometimes, your guests need to sleep in your living room or the common area because you don’t have a proper guest room. But you can provide them with a comfortable experience by making your living room sleep-friendly. Try to place an air mattress strategically just beside a light switch or lamp. Now, your guests don’t need to fumble in the night. Arrange proper living room’s curtains and blinds which can perfectly block out the sunlight and street lights. If possible, provide them with a set of extra pillows, towels, earplugs, a power cord for charging devices, and a small fan. Get some summer decorating ideas for living room.

Though your guests are not staying in a hotel, still, you can create a hotel-like vibe that will make them more comfortable and relaxed. Make a welcome basket for your guests which include mini toiletries, snacks, and a fresh drinking bottle. If your basket is large, then place some rolled towels in it. But make sure the towels are fresh, neatly cleaned, and made up of high-quality materials. If possible, also add a paper slip in the basket mentioning your Wi-Fi password.

8. Add Privacy with a Temporary Room Divider:

You are comfortable with your guests but some times they may not feel the same. Privacy is the main thing that you should consider while hosting overnight guests in your place. A temporary room divider would be an ideal option if you are living in a studio apartment or a 1 BHK apartment. This will provide ultimate night-time privacy for a better night’s sleep. A folding screen can act as a temporary room divider and will also give you an extra changing area. By hanging curtains with a tension rod, you can also create privacy for your guests. Depending on your available space, this option will work in a much better way as a room divider.

9. Be Attentive to Their Schedule:

You must remember that your common area or living area is your guest’s bedroom, make sure that they don’t need to wait for everyone to clear out so that they can go to sleep. You should give priority to their privacy, daily routine, schedule, and space. You should try to accustom yourself to their routine so that they don’t need to compromise with anything. Put some of your daily routines on the backseat while your guests are at your house.

10. Let Some Things Go:

Don’t try to make everything perfect rather keep things normal. It’s not an easy job to organize everything for your overnight guests, so don’t overburden yourself. Focus on enjoying your guests and make sure that they are comfortable while staying with you.
