Holiday House Preparation

The winter holidays are finally about to arrive! These holidays can be filled with lots of joy and happiness or anxiousness and messiness. The emotions felt around the holidays largely depend on one question. Are you hosting for the holidays or are you traveling elsewhere? If you are hosting family and friends, a lot of holiday house preparation occurs before anyone even arrives. Holiday decorations and house cleaning can be frustrating when you know that you are having many guests that you may only see once a year. Outside of decorations, what else can be done rather quickly to get your house in tip-top shape? Here are some tips from painters in South Jersey that can help.  

Repaint And Restain Your Front Door

Your guests have arrived! Their first interaction with your house is no surprise, the front door. A quick and relatively easy way to spruce up your house is by repainting or restaining your front door. A freshly painted or stained door makes a welcoming first impression on guests. Your front door is relatively cheap to redo over and has the range of getting pretty creative with color schemes. Give it a shot!

Touching Up Your Bathroom 

A bathroom on the floor where most of your guests will hang out is another space that can quickly get a facelift. A commercial painter can have a bathroom completely refreshed within a day. A fresh and clean bathroom can wow your guests and serve as a conversation topic (only for a little). 

Touching Up Your Baseboards 

Baseboards can be a forgotten part of rooms that don’t really get attention until it’s too late. Baseboards can easily be overlooked but still have the ability to brighten a room up. Look into getting your baseboards touched up and repainted to provide a pop to a room where guests will be hanging out in. 

Repaint Your Cabinets

Holidays are centered around friends, family, and homecooked meals. The kitchen is often the most used space in the home whether you are entertaining guests or not. During the holidays, your guests are going to be bringing dishes and going for seconds in your kitchen a lot. Since it’s a central gathering place, it makes it a great room to redo before you have guests over for the holidays. One project you could start up before the holidays is repainting your kitchen cabinets. Cabinets take up the most space in kitchens. It can only help if a fresh coat of paint on cabinets welcomes all the new foot traffic brought to the kitchen.
