How to Declutter and Prepare Your Home for the Holidays
The holiday season is fast approaching, and that means festive decor, family gatherings, and the need for a clean, organized space. Preparing your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming! Follow these tips to declutter and get ready for the holidays with ease.
1. Sort Seasonal Decor
Gather your holiday decorations in one place and go through each item. Toss broken lights, donate unused decor, and store what you’ll keep in labeled, stackable bins.
Pro Tip: Wrap delicate ornaments in tissue paper and store them in egg cartons to keep them safe.
2. Store Unused Furniture
Create more room for guests and holiday activities by moving unused or bulky furniture into storage. This clears up space for decorations, extra seating, or even a holiday tree.
Bonus Tip: Slipcover or wrap furniture with blankets before storing to prevent dust build-up.
3. Organize Everyday Items
Clear surfaces like countertops and coffee tables by moving non-essential items. Use small storage boxes for things like books, hobby materials, or paperwork.
Pro Tip: A basket in the entryway can act as a temporary “clutter catcher” for keys, mail, and items you need daily.
4. Prepare Guest Rooms
Make sure guest rooms are clutter-free by moving excess items to a storage unit. This ensures your guests have a comfortable, welcoming space to stay.
Bonus Tip: Freshen up the space with a quick wash of the linens and a holiday-scented candle!
