How to get Your Home Guest Ready

Start by getting the basics right: kit out your guest bedroom with quality bedding to ensure that guests have a great night's sleep. Think plump pillows, a supportive mattress and a snuggly duvet. Then bring a considered feel to your space through thoughtfully selected bedding – this floral design is perfect for bringing the countryside indoors. Plus, it's striped on the reverse so you have more than one styling option – it's a win-win. We're also loving this striped bedding set for the warmer months. Made from a lightweight fabric woven from cotton and linen, it's ideal for keeping cool during the summer months. When the temperature finally dips, keep your guests cosy with plenty of throws and add scatter cushions for comfy reclining.

Fragrancing your home with seasonal scents is a great way to create an inviting atmosphere – there's nothing more inviting than a well-scented home. Help your guests unwind with candles and diffusers in relaxing scents. Apothecary's Calm candle has soothing notes of lavender, clary sage and sweet orange, making it the perfect all-seasons choice. Use it with the matching diffuser and room spray throughout your house to create a cohesive experience.

For a cosier, richer smell, we recommend opting for Atelier's Rebel Rose diffuser. It's formulated with spicy scents of black pepper and saffron with rose and leather, balanced on a base of patchouli, vanilla and balsam. It's the perfect option if you want to bring an uplifting, warming feel to your home.

Alternatively, electric diffusers are also great for adding some fragrance to your living space when you have guests – we love the chic design on this electric diffuser from Scentiments, which will fit seamlessly in any room.

There's nothing quite like wrapping yourself in a plush towel after a bath or shower. So, we've created the ultimate Egyptian cotton towels to ensure your guests (and you) have that feeling every time. Our luxurious range is not only irresistibly soft, but is also now made with an enhanced GSM rating, meaning it has exceptional absorbency. We have multiple sizes, including our favourite: the bath sheet. How could you not love enveloping yourself in an extra large towel?

The best bit: our towels come in an extensive range of colours, so you're guaranteed to find one that fits your bathroom's aesthetic.

Small, considered touches are what make a home. So, welcome your guests with inviting lighting that feels unique. We're currently loving our glass lamp for bedside tables or for illuminating a cosy reading nook. Place it beside a curated selection of books for your guests to delve into whilst they relax before bed. Then, make your house feel even more welcoming with a vase of fresh flowers.

If you've moved somewhere new and you're starting from scratch, explore our furniture range first and then build on it with decorative pieces. We've everything from luxurious cocoon chairs to timeless bedside tables.
