I learned this perfect trick at HOTEL: guests should never know!

• Candles: Strategically placed candles (especially scented) can make your home smell wonderful and look elegant. Hotel rooms often have a pleasant scent that lingers, and a candle can easily mimic this.
• String lights: Adding a few twinkle lights in your space can make it feel like a luxurious retreat.

3. Strategic De-Cluttering

The secret behind hotel cleanliness isn’t just about having a spotless environment—it’s about making the space feel neat and organized with minimal effort. You can do this by getting rid of items that don’t need to be on display.

• Clear surfaces: Whether it’s your kitchen counters or coffee table, less is more. Place only essential items, such as a vase of fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit, or a stylish tray with a few decorative items.
• Hide away clutter: Use storage baskets, decorative boxes, or drawers to hide things like magazines, remote controls, or small personal items that are typically scattered around.

4. The “Final Touch” Towel Folding Trick

One of the small yet memorable details in hotel rooms is the way towels are folded. It’s a neat, professional touch that guests don’t always notice, but it immediately gives a sense of luxury and cleanliness.

• How to fold towels like a hotel: Fold your bath towels into neat, uniform rectangles. Roll them up and place them neatly in a basket or on a rack. You can also fold them into a simple triangle shape, or for extra finesse, fold them into a “fan” shape.
• Add a decorative element: Lay a small flower, such as a single rose, atop the folded towels, or add a sprig of greenery for an elegant touch.

5. Create an Inviting Entryway

First impressions count, and the entryway sets the tone for the rest of the home. In hotels, the entryway is always immaculate, with everything in its place. Replicate this feeling at home by keeping your entryway neat and functional.

• Coat hooks or racks: Make sure that guests can easily hang their coats, bags, or hats.
• Fresh flowers or a plant: Add a small vase of fresh flowers or a stylish plant in the entryway to create a welcoming atmosphere.
• Shoes organized: Use a shoe rack or bench to keep shoes neatly arranged.

6. The Scent of Cleanliness

Hotels often have a signature scent—whether it’s the subtle hint of citrus, lavender, or fresh linen. This is a simple but powerful tool to create a welcoming and calming environment at home. You don’t need to invest in expensive products, as the key is in choosing scents that are fresh and not overpowering.

• Essential oils: Use a diffuser with a mild scent like eucalyptus, lavender, or lemon to make the space smell clean and fresh.
• Scented sprays or candles: Light a candle with a soft, natural fragrance or use a linen spray on your bedding and towels to enhance the ambiance.

7. Streamline the Bathroom

Hotel bathrooms are always immaculate, and it’s the little touches that make them feel luxurious. You don’t have to renovate your bathroom to achieve the same effect—just clean up and add a few special touches.

• Stock up on essentials: Make sure your bathroom has extra toiletries on hand like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion, ideally in matching dispensers.
• Plush towels: Choose fluffy, soft towels that feel great against the skin and are visibly clean and neatly arranged.

8. Tidy Your Bedroom Like a Hotel

There’s something about a perfectly made bed in a hotel room that makes you feel instantly relaxed. To create that effect at home, take a few minutes to make your bed like a hotel room:

• Hotel-like bedding: Use crisp, white linens for a fresh, clean look, and add a few decorative pillows for an extra touch.
• Plump the pillows: Hotel pillows are always fluffed to perfection, making them inviting and comfortable. Take the time to fluff your pillows to make your bed look neat and luxurious.

Why Does This Trick Work?

When guests enter a space, they immediately notice the ambiance, organization, and cleanliness. By using these simple techniques, you’re creating an environment that feels well-organized, comfortable, and high-end, which makes the space feel more inviting and luxurious. The best part? No one will ever know the tricks behind your seamless guest experience.
