The holidays are just around the corner. As the temperature falls, family and friends from far and wide will congregate in your home. You want to make the best impression, which requires ensuring your gathering space is in tip-top shape. Below are a few steps for preparing your home for holiday entertaining and decoration:
- Clean – No one wants to step into a dirty apartment or house. Dust bunnies in the corner, sticky crumbs on the counter tops, hard water and rust rings in the toilet bowl, and residue in the sinks don’t make the best impression on guests. The best option is to hire a professional cleaning service to give your home a top-to-bottom polish. The floors will be spotless, the bathrooms spic-and-span, the furniture fluffled, shelves and frames dusted, and everything will smell fresh.
- Celebrate – The holidays are not a time for understatements. If you have a tree, adorn it with ornaments. Put the menorah in the window. Bring out all the decorations and embellish the natural beauty of your home with a festive collection. It happens once a year, so there’s no reason to hold back.
- Remove the Excess – Though you want to display as much tasteful decoration as you can, you must also avoid turning your house into a swap shop. Too much clutter can suffocate. Guests shouldn’t have to push things out of the way to find a place to sit. Take some time to make sure everything is in its right place, and that includes the refrigerator. Leftovers from last week have no place in your kitchen. If an item is in the way or limits overall comfort, it has to go.
