Label Every Light Switch
Help guests navigate lighting instantly, even in unfamiliar rooms.
Why it matters
Confusing lighting is a common complaint in mid-stay messages and reviews. Clear labels reduce stress for late-night arrivals and make your property feel professionally managed.
Guests can be intimidated by multi-switch panels or remote-controlled lights. Simple, tasteful labels remove the guesswork and make the space feel intuitive.
How to implement it
- Audit each room and note every switch or control panel.
- Use uniform label tape or engraved tags that match your aesthetic.
- Place a short legend in your welcome guide for dimmers and special controls.
