5 Tips to Prepare Your Home for House Guests

Oct 27

***House guests are on their way… Are you ready?***

Moving into the final 3 months of the year, we begin opening our home to family and friends for get-togethers, holidays, birthdays, out-of-town house guests, and more! Below, we have 5 easy ways to make sure your visitors feel welcome, calm & relaxed in your home (and making sure it smells fresh too!)!

Tip #1: Loose lavender in the vacuum

Toss a small handful of lavender buds on the carpet around the room.
As they rattle around, their scent is shaken out and fills your home with a soft lavender scent!

Tip #2: Put a lavender sachet in the dresser drawer, closet, or kitchen cabinet

Lavender helps to keep bugs away while adding a subtle lavender aroma!
Or, add lavender-filled sachets to a table top or shelf - their elegant look can compliment decor.

Tip #3: Dried lavender bouquets in the guest bedroom and bathroom

The beautiful purpley-gray looks of a dried lavender bouquet gives a classy, timeless feel to your guest’s spaces.
Plus, they’ll be greeted with the sweet fragrance of lavender!

Tip #4: Lavender Spray on the guest bed and sofas

Spritz lavender spray onto linens for a fresh scent that naturally relaxes the senses and puts your mind at ease.

Tip #5: Lavender essential oil on a cotton pad in your trash can

Lavender Essential Oil is Antibacterial! There’s nothing quite so daunting as trying to get rid of the garbage smells - but lavender can help!
Add a few drops of lavender essential oil on a cotton ball or pad and place at the bottom of your trash can - the antibacterial properties of lavender will help deodorize!
