Host-Worthy Home Design

Thanksgiving is in two weeks and we know what’s on your mind- company’s coming.

Preparing for holiday houseguests can be an overwhelming task if you haven’t developed a game plan, so let’s think logistics. When family or friends have been invited to your home, you want to provide them with comfort, relaxation and a good time- without breaking your budget (that’s what Black Friday is for).

To accomplish this, take yourself on a mental vacation. Picture your family away from home for the holidays. Try to imagine the things you’d be missing and the things you’d hope your host could provide.

This week’s #LOTWDesign executes that thoughtful perception via Today’s Creative Life’s free Wi-Fi info printable. If you have an unused frame laying around (or one you could repurpose for the holiday weekend), try displaying your wifi information on a nightstand or end table to offer guests some practical information in a pretty way.

Anticipation of need is one of the key foundations in successful event planning - and by combining this etiquette with some unique décor, your guests’ stay will feel just a little more luxurious- without much effort or cost on your end.

Got an eye for great style trends we should consider for next week? Share your favorites with us on Twitter and Instagram using hashtag #LOTWDesign.
