How to Prep Your Bathroom for Company

The July 4th festivities are past us, but summer gatherings are still marked on our calendars! When close friends or family come to visit, it’s nice to go the extra mile to make them feel welcomed. One of the more personal spaces you can spruce up is your bathroom. Aside from scrubbing the floors and polishing countertops, here are four other ways you can tidy up your space with a few last minute details:

Flowers. Fresh flowers are always a good idea! Not only do they look  and smell beautiful, but they also filter the air and keep it clean. With that being said, adding a simple bouquet to your sink or window ledge is a sure way to give your bathroom and your visitors a “cared-for” vibe.

Candles. Laying out a few natural, scented candles can make your guests feel relaxed. Opt for a mild fragrance, such as soy. Just make sure you shy away from using anything overpowering, as this can cause an unpleasant, lingering perfume for those with a more heightened sense of smell. 

Toiletries. The last thing you want is for your guests to feel embarrassed as they rummage through your drawers and cabinets to find a second roll of tissue. The best thing you can do in this case is set aside an extra roll of TP. It’s also likely that your one and only hand towel will become damp over the course of their visit, so folding a few extra ones will come in handy!

First aid. Nothing says “make yourself at home” more than making necessities accessible to your friends and family. While you’re tidying up the room, keep in mind that your visitors might need some Aspirin or a band-aid. Instead of hiding these items in the medicine cabinet, make them visible and ready to use - your guests will be glad you did!

When preparing your home for gatherings, ask yourself: what kinds of things would make you feel comfortable if you were visiting friends and family? The answer should be simple!  For more tips on how to organize and style your home, connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
