Grateful Gatherings: Creating Warmth in your Guest Room
The holidays are a time filled with joy, warmth, and ever lasting memories. We tend to spend these days with our loved ones, and sometimes they come to stay. Making them feel warm and welcome during this time of year is crucial. The small details can have the biggest impacts. Oftentimes, we neglect our guest rooms, and this can have a negative impact on their experience.
This guide will help you become a master at the art of creating warmth in your guest room for this holiday season.

The Foundations: Guest Room Bedding
Basic but Elegant:
- Having a bedding set like our Liora Ribbon Bow Tied Floral Bedding Set in Khaki is a great first step in curating your guest room.
- Having basic rather than eccentric pieces is a safe bet for a guest room. This also allows you to do more with decorating, so make the space feel fresh, warm, and welcoming.
Basic but Interesting:
- Having a piece like our Audrey Retro Lace Embroidered Bedding Set in Dark Brown is a fun choice.
- While it is more simple and elegant, it has fun touches of lace that will make the guest room more memorable.

Enhancing Guest Experience
Creating warmth for holiday guests is not just about decorating the room nicely. It's also about creating an experience.
- Providing a robe is the perfect way to elevate your guests' experience. Having a robe is a great way to introduce a sense of luxury; everyone loves robes, but it's not something they go out of their way to bring.
- This is guaranteed to have a memorable impact on your guests, and they will be eager to visit again.
Robes are not the only way to curate your guests' experience.
- Providing your guests with warm, cozy, and comfortable slippers is a great way to make them feel at home instantly.
- Many people typically use house slippers, but won't go take the extra step to pack them. Leaving these as an option in your guest room is a very meaningful gesture and shows your guests that you love and care for them.

Guest Room Essentials
The Small Touches
Making your guests' room feel warm and welcoming can feel like a daunting task. One of the ways to easily add layers of warmth is by adding layers of pillows.
- Pillows are a great way to enhance the feeling of comfort in a room. Imagine your guest room with 2 plain pillows vs your guest room with 3 or 4 colorful or interesting pillows.
- It changes the way a guest feels in their room in a subtle way that has a big impact.
Similar to pillows, throw blankets can contribute greatly to creating warmth in a room. During the colder months, it is always a possibility that the bedding is not warm enough for your guest.
- Giving them the option of an extra layer is a great way to create physical warmth for them.
- However, this isn't just convenient; it can also be stylistic. Ever Lasting's Cozy Plaid Wool Throw Blanket is a great option for your guest room
Add effortless charm with pillows and throws from our Decorative Accents Collection.

Lighting: Enhancing Warmth
Ensuring your guest room has good ambient lighting is one of the best ways to make your guest feel comfortable, cozy, and at home in your home.
- It is important to use warm lighting as opposed to white lighting to avoid a sterile feeling in the room. Warm lighting often feels comfortable, nostalgic and sets the mood for the holidays.
Not only is lighting practical, it is also aesthetic and stylistic. Ever Lasting has many warm lighting options that have fun, interesting, and unique design styles that your guests may not have encountered before.
- This can help your guests have a more memorable experience, and it will make them think that you have great taste and a keen eye!

Flannel, brushed cotton, and linen blends are ideal — they’re cozy, breathable, and keep warmth without overheating.

What makes a bedding set a good gift for the holidays?
Look for high-quality fabrics, timeless colors, and soft textures. Gift sets that come in elegant packaging or with coordinating pieces feel more thoughtful.
