If you take extended trips for work or like to travel, you might spend more than one or two days in a hotel room. Even when the space is well-appointed, you might start missing home quickly. To make the room feel homier from the start, follow the advice below. 

3 Ways to Create a Home Atmosphere In Your Hotel Room

1. Fill the Room With a Familiar Aroma

When staying in an unfamiliar place, you might realize you miss the pleasant scents back home. To create a sense of comfort in the temporary lodging, fill the room with one of the aromas. If you like to bake, for example, release the scent of cinnamon or vanilla in the hotel room. If you like to spend time in the garden, use a floral aroma. Just make sure to use diffusers or oil sprays, as candles and incense are fire hazards. 

2. Turn on a Music Playlist 

Listening to your favorite tunes can also set your mind at ease. In preparation for the trip, create a few playlists with songs for different moods. Choose a comfortable, quiet spot in the hotel room, put on headphones, and relax. You might also be able to connect your phone, laptop, or tablet to the room’s audio equipment for better sound. 

3. Bring Your Own Blanket

If there’s room in your luggage, bring a blanket from home. You can wrap it around you for warmth and comfort while watching TV, reading, or listening to music. When it’s time to turn in at night, you can use it on the bed instead of the provided comforter. Feeling the familiar texture can help you relax and fall asleep faster.
