Holiday guest quarters should include a place to relax and read

With the onset of the busy holiday season, homeowners often have to arrange guest quarters they hope will make their visitors comfortable.

Setting up a corner where they can store their belongings can include a small table to use as a nightstand and a comfortable chair where they can relax and read. Easy-to-store feather beds can be folded up when not in use during the visit, according to RealSimple.com.

If the visitor's reading chair is near a window, it helps to have a window treatment that can be adjusted to manage natural light and provide privacy as needed. Some affordable choices from Blinds Chalet are roller shades and mini blinds, which both come in a large variety of colors and finishes to suit any décor.

Those selections include woven wood roller shades that are currently available at a special discount. In addition, consumers can request a free sample of any shade or blind and receive a discount coupon with each sample.

Making guests comfortable in their reading area should include a selection of reading material, from a book of word puzzles to a collection of short stories.
