Creating a Guest-Ready Powder Room For Thanksgiving

Do you have a checklist for ensuring your guests’ comfort? There are many things we do to prepare for Thanksgiving, from planning the menu to setting the table, and arranging the flowers to setting the right mood. The effort we put in is geared to celebrating our gratitude, as well as making our guests feel at home. With that in mind, the one room we should take care to not overlook is the powder room.
I like to start by adding something seasonal to the room in keeping with the holiday. It extends the festive mood to all parts of the house and lets your guests know that all their comforts were taken into consideration. I love to add a pretty embroidered vintage guest towel to lend a sense of “special occasion”. I keep matching leopard paper napkins on a shelf above the sink, as I’ve noticed that no one uses the fabric towels, so I don’t worry about putting out my best vintage pieces.
Here I layered some traditional autumn decorations into two tall glass vases, including tiny pumpkins, pinecones and walnuts.
An absolute must for me is fresh flowers in the bath. This tiny fall bouquet is tucked into my tortoise shell drinking glasses.
The powder room is a spot one visits for a very brief few moments, but it should always carry on the festive and special tone you’ve set in your entire house. Thinking ahead and ensuring you’ve tended to your guests’ comforts is a way to let them know you enjoy their company and you are delighted to welcome them into your home for the holidays.
