Last Minute Home Projects to Finish Before Your Company Arrives

Getting ready to welcome friends and family into your home for the busy holiday season can be exciting and overwhelming. If you’re in charge of hosting a gathering and prepping a holiday meal, then the task is even more daunting if your home still feels like it’s not in order. While the approaching holidays might not be the best time to embark on any major home upgrades, there are a few smaller projects you can tackle (or complete) to get your home holiday-ready!

Spruce Up the Powder Room

The perfect excuse to finish the powder room or guest bathroom you started months ago. Adding some wallpaper, updating the light fixture, laying down budget-friendly flooring, and stocking up on accessories are the perfect projects to ensure this space is beautiful and functional for guests to admire.

Upgrade Your Kitchen Cabinetry Hardware

This simple home project dramatically increases the design of your kitchen (in a good way), no matter what style of hardware you choose. Cabinetry hardware isn’t an expensive project, this is a great budget-friendly task to enhance your kitchen without undergoing a major remodel before the hectic holiday season.

Add Shelving to the Guest Bedroom

Make your guest bedroom more like home for your company by adding a new shelving set. This simple, cost-effective project makes the space more functional by offering guests storage and providing the perfect place to decorate your guest bedroom for the holidays!

Secure the Stairs

Staircases offer an ideal setting for draping lights, bows, and garland. It’s also a good place to start to make sure your stairs are safe and clean. Polishing with a hardwood polish or steam cleaning the carpet adds sparkle to your home.

The front door is often the first impression your guest has as well as passing traffic sees. It’s a good idea to upgrade the front door or add a fresh coat of paint. Decorating with wreaths and holly is tradition, and all the better when the door and entrance area are freshened.
