Every April, Augusta comes alive. With Masters Week bringing guests from around the world, homes across the CSRA become short-term rentals, entertaining hubs, and showpieces of Southern hospitality. Whether you’re hosting longtime friends or welcoming first-time visitors, thoughtful staging can make your home feel elevated, comfortable, and memorable.

Here’s how we recommend preparing your home for Masters Week—without overdoing it.

1. Think “Inviting,” Not “Untouchable”

Masters guests want to feel relaxed, not afraid to sit down. The goal is a polished home that still feels livable.

Remove overly personal items (family photos, kids’ artwork)
Edit surfaces so rooms feel intentional, not cluttered
Layer in soft textures—pillows, throws, rugs—for comfort

2. Refresh with Subtle Spring Touches

Masters Week and spring go hand in hand, but subtlety is key.

Fresh florals or greenery in the entry, kitchen, and primary living spaces
Neutral palettes with gentle pops of green, white, or soft blue
Light citrus or linen scents—nothing overpowering

Avoid overly themed golf décor. A nod to the season is far more sophisticated. If you have signed or unique artwork that is specific to The Augusta National or a player put it on display with intention.

3. Prioritize Guest Spaces

Guest rooms and baths matter more than you think—especially for visitors traveling from far away.

Guest Bedrooms

Crisp WHITE bedding with layered pillows (This is not the time for Amazon. Remember this is a once in a lifetime experience for most of the patrons)
Bedside lamps, a small tray, and phone chargers
Clear out closets and drawers for guest use

Guest Bathrooms

Plush towels (all white feels hotel-like)
Simple countertop styling: tray, soap, folded hand towel. bud vase with fresh flowers.
Make sure lighting is warm and flattering

4. Make the Kitchen & Bar Effortless

During Masters Week, kitchens work overtime.

Clear countertops except for one styled moment (fruit bowl, flowers)
Create a beverage station and snack bar - remember to leave your household instructions here!
Organize pantries and refrigerators—guests will look

If entertaining, set out barware and glassware so guests can help themselves.

5. Elevate Outdoor Living

Augusta weather is one of the stars of Masters Week—use it.

Clean and stage patios with fresh cushions
Add lanterns or string lights for evening gatherings
Ensure outdoor dining areas feel intentional and welcoming

Even small porches can feel special with the right styling.
