Helpful Household Hints: How to Decorate a Guest Bathroom

Taking special care to decorate a guest area is an effective way to make your guests feel welcome. First, spend time making sure you know how to make a relaxing bath that your guests can enjoy. Second, learn how to decorate a guest bathroom to make anyone feel at home.

Handmade expressions are always a welcome gesture for guests in your home. Start pampering your guests; show how to make a relaxing bath with ingredients you may already have in your kitchen. Start with plain rock salt that you may be using in a salt grinder for your table. The bigger the salt grains the better because the grains look beautiful and cleanse the skin more effectively.

To the salt add any of a multitude of herbs—lavender, lemongrass, chamomile—or dried flowers—roses, daisies, etc. Mix 1 cup of the rock salt (or you can choose Epsom salt) with the ingredients that you have chosen. The more ingredients you use, the more fragrant the bath mixture. You can even go to the local health food store to find organic herbs and flowers that can be used as you experiment with how to make a relaxing bath.

One of many helpful household hints for how to make a relaxing bath is to add a touch of your favorite perfume or essential oil. This fragrance can add even more depth to the scent that the dried flowers will release when added to a hot bath. Put the mixture in a pretty jar or bottle. This project is a great start, as you learn how to decorate a guest bathroom as well.

Additional helpful household hints concerning how to make a relaxing bath suggest a project that starts with a muslin (or other dye-free cloth) bag. Into this bag, add all of the fragrant herbs again, but without the salt or the perfumes. This bag can then be put into a hot bath like a tea bag, or used as a sachet for your guest’s clothes. Again, you want to be sure that the bag is not colored with dye because that dye can leak out during a bath and stain the tub as well as your guest.

Still another suggestion for how to make a relaxing bath for your guest will take some pre-planning.. You will need unfragranced oil for this recipe and a little more time. Pour the oil into a beautiful jar or bottle. Next, add dried herbs to the mixture. Be sure to pick ones that look pretty as well as smell good. Put the cork or the top on the jar and let it sit in a cool area for a few weeks. The fragrance from the flowers will permiate into the oil, making a relaxing bath oil.

When it comes to helpful household hints for how to decorate a guest bathroom, remember that it’s the little things that will matter the most. Think about things that a guest might need—lotion (Stanley Naturals Body Glow), a mirror, shampoo and conditioner (Stanley Naturals Shampoo), a variety of soaps (Stanley Green Tea Foaming Bath Soap or Ruby Raspberry Hand Soap), a comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, or even a lint brush for their clothing. Make a list of things that your guest might need while they stay with you. Who hasn’t forgotten something when they’re visiting a friend or a relative? By taking the time to think about your guest’s needs, you will insure that our guest will have a relaxing stay.

When deciding how to decorate a guest bathroom, consider making your guest feel special. A nice basket that contains all of the items that you gathered—along with instructions on how to make a relaxing bath--will make your guest feel like royalty. You are quietly saying that you appreciate that they traveled to see you and that you hope that they will enjoy their time as your guest.

Make sure that you have plenty of towels, and maybe even a bathrobe on hand. You will also want to keep the guest bathroom clean throughout the stay. Try to wipe everything down at least once daily. Now that you have learned how to make a relaxing bath and how to decorate a guest bathroom, you should be ready for anyone to visit—even your in-laws!
