Never is a guest room more prioritized than during the busy holiday season. Family and friends are arriving from far flung locations and conversation fills the rooms of your home. Creating a luxurious space for overnight guests to retreat is an extension of your hospitality. From fresh linens to bedside conveniences, a good host knows how to prepare a space that welcomes friends & family in gracious style. 

While it may only be for a night or two, architectural details and thoughtful design dramaticaly elevate the experience of your out of town visitors. High ceilings emphasize the feeling of abundant space and are a wonder to wake up to. Massive paned windows or French doors allow in natural light and fresh air (when temperatures allow!) and provide a sense of freedom. A well-considered reading area encourages loved ones to kick off their shoes and completely relax. 

When you open your doors to visitors this year, think about the tiny details of your guest suites. Plump up the pillows, place an array of books on the nightstand and most of all, enjoy time with those you care about. Happy holidays!
