Easy Home Improvements to Impress Your Guests This Holiday Season
Hosting a get-together during the holiday season is a blast, but also a little overwhelming.
All of a sudden, all those little projects and renovations that you’ve procrastinated on are coming back to haunt you! While you want to gain the approval of your guests, there’s no need to go overboard with your home improvements.
Keep reading to learn about some easy and inexpensive improvements to get your house holiday-ready!
Clean Up the Front of the House
The first thing your guests will see when they pull up is the front of the home.
To leave a good impression right off the bat, spend a little time sprucing up the front! Make sure all your porch lights have fresh bulbs so the guests can see where they’re walking. Trim any bushes, flowers, shrubs, or other elements of your landscaping design to make them look fresh and clean.
Add Some Light to Your Home
It’s amazing what replacing the light bulbs in your home can do for the overall appearance of it!
A drab bathroom can immediately be brightened up with fresh light bulbs, especially if your bathroom mirror has a vanity. In addition to adding new lightbulbs throughout the house, consider adding some decorative holiday lights.
You can find string lights for around $1-5 at your local dollar store. Add them to your railings, bar, or mantles!
Deep Clean the Kitchen and Bathrooms
While you may be able to get away with quickly vacuuming and dusting the living room, the bathroom and kitchen will be a little less forgiving.
So, do a deep clean of the kitchen and bathroom! Take the burner covers and either wipe them down or soak them to remove burnt-on food. Wipe down the fridge handles, oven handle, cabinets, and counters to ensure any rogue crumbs or smudges are taken care of.
In the bathroom, wash the mirror and disinfect the rest of the bathroom. Not only will the bathroom look better, but you’ll want your guests to feel safe and hygienic in your home.
Invest In Holiday Decor
Holiday decor is a great way to make your space feel festive, but it’s also a simple way to cover up imperfections!
For example, if a door has nicks in it that you haven’t gotten around to fixing, throw a wreath over the area. Or, if the paint is uneven on the wall, put the tree in front of it!
Holiday decor is less expensive than inspecting the entire house and buying supplies to fix all the imperfections. Sure, you’ll want to focus on those projects at some point, but you have enough going on around the holidays that those tasks can wait.
If you don’t have excess money to splurge on holiday decor, consider making it yourself!
