How to Get Your Home Ready for the Holidays
Start Early
Declutter
Clean It Up!
They say that cleaning the house just on the eve of Christmas can bring you bad luck, but even if you’re not superstitious, you’ll most likely agree that it’s best to start the year with a sparkling clean home. This is where planning your housework can make a difference. Rather than doing all the cleaning tasks in one go, you can break them up into manageable chunks and get through them at a comfortable speed.
Get Your Kitchen Ready
When it comes to holidays, the kitchen is just as important a room of the house as the living room, so you should get it ready for holiday as well. Put away all the clutter, overcrowding your countertop, dust the shelves, wash the tablecloth, and decorate your walls by swapping out summer motifs for red and green. And if you want to up the ante, you may also want to throw on matching dining chair slipcovers that will definitely get approval from your guests and fill your home with the festive mood.
Go With Subtle Decor Accents
Once all the major preparations are done, it’s time for the finishing touches. Sort through your interior decor to see if everything works and organize it in a convenient way. Things like twinkling candles, curtains, wall art, scents, and even slipcovers have just as great an impact as a Christmas tree, so get them ready to make your home look truly merry and bright.
Prepare for Sleep-Overs
If you’re the host and have a large family coming over, sorting your guest beds is something that should be on your list. Have you thought about buying a new set of bed sheets for your spare bedroom? Or have you always wanted to order those headboard covers that everyone is raving about? November sales present you with a great opportunity to buy all those things at a discount, so now is the best time to get your shopping done.
Add Pops of Color
Getting ready for the holidays is fun, but it can also be a lot of hassle if you don’t have a plan. Luckily, with our tips, holiday season preparations won’t be much of a chore for you, and you will feel more relaxed. So, prepare your notes, draw a plan, and get ready for the Christmas and holidays you’ve always wanted to have!
