UnFORGeTTaBLe HOSPITaLITY, LUXURIOUS COMFORT, and THOUGHTFUL DeTaILS

As the holiday season draws near, our homes become a gathering place for friends and family. Often welcoming cherished guests from near and far. This time of year often sparks conversations of how to make visitors feel truly special, pampered, and right at home when they're away from home. At Stephanie Kratz Interiors, we believe in elevating hospitality beyond a spare bedroom. Our passion is to transform your guest spaces into a luxurious five-star retreat meticulously designed for comfort, privacy, and an unforgettable experience.

The ultimate guest sanctuary is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a dedicated space where visitors can relax, rejuvenate, and feel truly cared for. It’s an opportunity to showcase your thoughtful attention to detail and extend your home’s luxurious aesthetic into every corner, making your guests feel cherished.

Five Aspects That Create A Five-Star Experience:

• Luxurious Bedding & Textiles: Start with the foundation of comfort.

Invest in high-thread-count sheets, a sumptuous duvet, and a selection of pillows in varying firmness. Add a beautiful throw blanket for an extra layer of warmth and texture.


• A Sense of Privacy & Independence: Equip the room with elements that allow guests to settle in.

Include a small, comfortable seating area, a dedicated vanity or desk space, and ample closet and drawer storage, all reflecting your home's sophisticated style.


• Thoughtful Amenities: Anticipate any and all needs.

Provide water with a few glasses, and perhaps a small selection of local treats. High-end toiletries with fresh towels goes a long way in the bathroom, a discreet charging station for devices is always a welcome touch.


Layered Lighting: Offer flexible lighting options.

Beyond general ambient light, include bedside lamps for reading and task lighting at a desk or vanity. Dimmers allow guests to customize the ambiance to their preference.


• Personal Touches: Consider details that make the space feel special and inviting.

These details could be anything from a small vase of fresh flowers, a curated selection of books or magazines, or even a personalized welcome note.
