Choosing Linens for Your Bed and Breakfast

If you are an owner of a bed and breakfast, your brand is built on the quality of hospitality you offer your guests. Create an environment where your guests never want to leave, or they want to come back as soon as they can. Your brand’s image and the guests’ experience will go above and beyond the level of expectation, so choosing quality linens for your bed and breakfast is very important. From the individual guest’s room, to the quality of sheets and linens your guests will use, the guest’s initial impression of your bed and breakfast is very important. Here are a few tips to help you in purchasing linens.

The Bedroom

First, know how many beds and the size of the beds (twin, queen, king) you will be fitting in each room before purchasing your linens. You will also want to have a few quality blankets for each bed, one placed on the bed between the top sheet and comforter, the other in a dresser drawer or closet. When choosing the quality of your bed linens, aim for quality and guest experience, so consider choosing sheets with a 1500 thread count. They can provide maximum comfort, last longer and are more luxurious. Also, attention needs to be paid to the theme of the bedroom to pick the appropriate sheet colors.

The Bathroom

For your bathroom sets, make sure you’re getting plush, 100 percent cotton towels. Anything below these quality standards can detract from the guest experience. Also make sure you have the variety of sizes, including bath towels, hand towels and washcloths. Provide a generous number of towels to give your guests the feeling of comfort.

Color Coordination and Décor

If the colors of the room don’t coordinate between the bedroom and the bathroom, guests may notice that the room design isn’t consistent. Whatever you end up choosing, make sure the colors flow between both rooms. Your brand’s image and your guests’ experience are very important. Choosing linens that make your guests feel comfortable and luxurious will keep them coming back. If you work for a hotel, spa, or bed and breakfast, share any comments your guests have given about your linens and décor.
