Whether hosting guests this holiday season or planning the jolliest party on the block, you must make enough room for all the festivities. Make holiday organization a walk through a winter wonderland using simple tips and tricks. This guide from Saf Keep Storage will tell you how to get organized for the holidays and make more space at home this upcoming holiday season.
1. Declutter and Deep Clean
First, you’ll need to get rid of any belongings you don’t use often, if at all. Decluttering your home will free up space you might’ve forgotten you had! Once you’ve sifted through your items, thoroughly clean your entire home. We recommend you go one room or area at a time to prioritize your focus better and yield spotless results.
2. Prepare a Guest Bedroom
Do you plan to host any guests overnight? Prepare a guest bedroom for them! Create a checklist to best prepare your guest room for an extended stay. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Make a comfortable bed
- Put fresh linens
- Add extra pillows
- Prepare a nightstand
- Clean out closets
- Empty out dresser drawers
3. Rearrange and Utilize Multifunctional Furniture
Need to make more space in a pinch? Rearrange furniture to maximize limited space in your home. Rearrangements could be small maneuvers like pushing chairs back or more significant moves like switching your couch to another side of the room. Consider also investing in multifunctional furniture to add additional solutions for storing items out of your guests’ way.
4. Prepare Food Ahead of Time
While food is integral to a proper holiday party, you’ll want to finish the cooking beforehand. If you block off the kitchen for cooking during the earlier stages of your party, it’ll give your guests less room to roam and make themselves comfortable.
5. Think Minimalist with Décor
You don’t want to cram decorations wherever they can fit just to spice up the room. Too many decorations can cause more clutter in the house. Find a balance between using minimalist holiday decor that doesn’t take up precious space, especially in your living room and entryways.
6. Optimize Storage
Take advantage of every square inch of space by optimizing different storage solutions. Store items underneath beds and organize closets. Consider vertical storage like hooks and racks to store smaller or lightweight objects like coats. Simply don’t have enough space to store your belongings at home? Rent personal self storage to make space at home without having to get rid of your belongings.
