The holiday season is here! It’s the perfect time to get your home ready for hosting family and friends, creating cozy spaces, and embracing festive cheer. At G.M. Roth Design Remodeling, we understand that the right touches can make your home both welcoming and functional during this busy time of year. Here are some tips to help you prepare your home for the holidays:
1. Declutter and Deep Clean
Before decorating, take the time to declutter your main living areas. Store away items that you won’t need during the holidays to make space for guests and holiday decor. A deep clean of kitchens, bathrooms, and gathering spaces will make your home sparkle and feel fresh.

2. Create a Functional Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of holiday gatherings. Ensure it’s ready for cooking and entertaining by organizing your pantry, sharpening knives, and clearing counter space for meal prep. Adding a festive centerpiece or seasonal dishware to your island or dining table can set the tone.

3. Focus on Guest Comfort
Prepare your guest bedroom and bathroom to make visitors feel at home. Provide fresh linens, cozy blankets, extra toiletries, and a small basket of holiday treats. Thoughtful details like scented candles or seasonal flowers can add a personal touch.

4. Enhance Your Entryway
Your entryway sets the tone for holiday guests. Add seasonal decorations like wreaths, string lights, or garlands. Ensure there’s plenty of room for coats, shoes, and bags with functional storage solutions.

5. Maximize Gathering Spaces
Rearrange furniture to create cozy, conversation-friendly spaces in your living and dining areas. Add extra seating, such as poufs or stools, for larger gatherings. Don’t forget to add throw pillows, blankets, and candles for a warm, inviting atmosphere.

6. Add Festive Lighting
Swap out everyday lighting for warm, holiday-themed options. String lights, lanterns, and candles can add ambiance. Highlight your home’s best features, like a fireplace or bay windows, with soft, twinkling lights.

By taking these steps, you’ll ensure your home is ready for a stress-free and joyous holiday season. Whether you’re hosting a big family dinner or welcoming guests for an overnight stay, these simple updates will create a memorable experience for everyone.
