As the holiday season approaches, it's time to turn your spare room into a welcoming haven for your Christmas guests. Whether it's family or friends coming to stay, these ten tips will help get your room ready and spread festive cheer throughout your home.



1. Transform your spare room into a cosy Christmas retreat by layering plush bedding with throws and cushions in classic holiday hues.

2. Consider a personalised welcome note to make your guests feel cherished during their stay.

3. Thoughtful touches like a tray of Christmas goodies, a selection of holiday reads, and a small tabletop Christmas tree go a long way. 



4. Complete the festive look with decor that echos the holiday theme - think Christmas wreaths, garlands and a Christmas stocking or Santa sack.

5. Ensure ample storage for their belongings by adding stylish baskets and hampers, or clear some closet space for their use - and don’t forget hangers!

6. Check and restock the guest bathroom with fresh towels and toiletries - plush bathrobes make for an extra special touch.



7. Your guests will thank you for a bedside lamp they can reach without getting out of bed. 

8. Provide a handy power strip or extension cord for their devices to ensure they stay charged and connected.

9. Overseas visitors will appreciate a local guidebook, water, sunscreen, and snacks for the jetlag hours.

10. Keep the room well-ventilated and bring in a portable fan for those hot summer nights.
