Getting your home ready for this Christmas season

There is nothing like the Christmas season to give us all a deadline! Whether it is finishing off those impending house jobs which have rolled over a bit too long, or the fact that you have invited friends and family over to celebrate Christmas with you in your beautiful home. Now, your main aim is to get those outstanding tasks ticked off and have your home looking as perfect as possible, in time for the Christmas season.

Where to start with this Christmas season preparations

1. Make a list – By writing down what needs finishing and then prioritising the jobs, will help you to be clear as to what is a necessity and what can wait if you run out of time.
2. De-clutter – Creating more space not only makes rooms look larger but also makes space for Christmas features, decorations and guests. Be methodical in what you can store and what can go to the local charity shop or refuse centre.
3. Clean down – Giving the house a good clean especially in those hard-to-reach areas, will completely refresh the property and help you to think clearer too. Don’t forget those high up areas where cobwebs can catch you out or those low areas which can gather dust. By cleaning the room thoroughly it also enables you to assess the paintwork or breakages which may need further attention.
4. Touch up the paint work – Get your brush out and give a quick touch up to those walls or woodwork which are looking sorry for themselves. Especially focus on areas where young hands or pets might have touched the walls and left grubby marks. You’ll be amazed at how quickly touching up the paintwork will refresh the room and have it looking as good as new again.
5. Consider finishing touches – If the cushions, throws, bedspreads, roman blinds, or lighting are looking a bit tired then maybe it’s time for some re-investment. By adding a few new finishing touches or enhancing your colour scheme will not only completely transform the room but will provide a beautiful place for warmth and relaxation, which you and your guests can admire.
