Nothing is
more beautiful than a home whose décor says “You are Welcome in our home.” So,
just how do you say welcome?
First,
create a welcoming first impression on the outside. Make sure that your address
is prominently display so your guests have no doubts that this is, indeed, your
home.
Make sure
your yard is tidy with nicely trimmed shrubs and walkways. Blooming plants in
season always says “I welcome you to my home.”
Approaching
the front door make sure you have your “welcome mat” out. That mat includes the
mat itself, seasonal flowers in beautifully arranged pots and a wreath on the
door.
Upon
entering your home scents are always welcome. Burn your favorite candles, scency
pots or even a dish of scented potpourri.
Dishes and
jars of candy/nuts placed around the room let your guests know you are glad to
have them in your home.
In the
bathroom make sure you have paper hand towels available for guests to dry their
hands.
Soft music
playing in the background is always inviting to your guests. If you know your
guests very well you probably know their tastes in music. That’s a great starting
point. If not, smooth jazz is always great. Just make sure it’s playing softly
so as not to interfere with conversation.
The little
things you can do to make your guests feel welcome are simple, yet so very
important. Make an effort to create a welcoming
environment for your guests – you’ll enjoy it too.
