If your holiday season involves at-home entertaining, now is the time to start preparing for the fun. A few strategic touch-ups will revitalize your residence and create a warm, welcoming, and visually pleasing space. Before talking to your local painting company, use this guide for inspiration.

4 Ideas for Sprucing Up Your Home for Visitors This Holiday

1. Clean & Declutter

Clear your home of clutter, dirt, dust, and other debris to ready your home for holiday parties and guests. Focus on one room at a time to make the work seem less overwhelming. Throw out piles of junk mail, recycling what you can, and give away items that you no longer need.

Vacuum and wipe down surfaces next, including windows, countertops, upholstered furniture, ceiling fans, and curtains. Deep-clean high-traffic rooms, such as the kitchen and bathrooms, and consider getting carpets and rugs professionally cleaned.

2. Schedule Interior Painting Projects

Discuss repainting the fireplace mantel with a painting company before adorning it with festive greenery. Add fresh paint to all moldings or consider creating an accent wall in an evergreen hue to offset red holiday decor. Perhaps a guest bathroom needs work. To refresh your home this holiday, make an inventory of interior painting projects, and consult a contractor about budgets and timelines.

3. Add Decorative Touches to Guest Rooms

Infuse guest rooms with holiday cheer with the warmth and spicy scents of candles. Place a small, decorated faux tree on a bureau or a holiday floral arrangement on a vanity. Also, provide guests with plenty of holiday-themed blankets, towels, and tissues.

4. Consider Exterior Painting Work

Inspect the exterior of your home to determine which painting company projects to focus on. Repainting the trim or refreshing a faded front door with bright red paint would add to the holiday cheer. Your fencing may also need attention. Having a painting company repaint or restain it would create a welcoming holiday environment and enhance curb appeal. As a finishing touch, decorate freshly painted fencing and doorways with garlands and wreaths.
