The holidays are just around the corner, but is your home ready? 'Tis the time of the year where you are busy planning the perfect party or family gathering, making dinners, and making sure everything is just perfect. But is your home ready for it? Holiday season can be a stressful one, so now is the best time to consider making a few holiday-ready home improvements to ensure that your home is ready to receive all its guests and you can keep that title of being the perfect host!
KITCHEN
The heart and soul, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home. You will be spending hours preparing some of your family's holiday favorites, bake Christmas cookies with your kids, and built countless memories in your kitchen. Giving your kitchen a remodel just before the holiday season will not just give it a brand new look that will impress your guests, but will also make an impact in your cooking.
Why not treat your kitchen to its own Christmas present with a little revamp? Installing smart storage solutions for all the extra spices you will have around, maybe getting a new and bigger fridge. Perhaps, you could even get that brand new double-oven you have been dreaming of all year round. Think just how much better all your dishes will come out!
GUEST BATHROOM
Holiday gatherings are a busy time for your home, receiving family and friends all in one place to celebrate them together, and each one of them are probably going to need to use the bathroom at some point in the evening. Why not impress them with a bit of an update? Little things can go a long way. Some bathroom renovations you could give a consideration for your guest bathroom could be:
- Replacing old floor tiles and or countertops
- Installing new cabinetry
- Changing old fixtures for new ones
If you have been using the same decor for years, maybe this year can be the one you give your bathroom a bit of a holiday spirit with some Christmas inspired decoration.
BASEMENT SUITE
Turning your basement into an in-law suit is not just a brilliant idea, it can also save thousands of dollars to family that visit during the holiday season and year round as they will now be able to stay in a comfortable place with the warmth of their family's love and care. Perfect for this season! Turning your basement into the perfect in-law suit does not have to be complicated or overly expensive either.
Traditionally, basement suites have the basic arrangement of a bedroom and bathroom. However, if you got the space for it, why not expand it? You can finally take the furniture that you did not know what to do with and nicely arrange it to give your new suit a living room or lounge to be enjoyed by your guests. If your budget allows for it, you can even add a kitchenette to your suit.
The holidays come with a lot of fun and joy, but they can also be a stressful time if you are not properly prepared for all the duties you will have to take on as a host. We hope that with this small list, we can bring you some peace of mind knowing how you can get yourself and your home ready with just a few small renovations and remodeling your house here and there.
