Is Your Home Ready to Receive Guests for the Holidays?

If you plan to host festivities in your Wayzata, MN home this holiday season, there’s no time like the present to prep your abode. The following ideas from Pizano Insurance can be helpful in getting your home ready to receive family and friends for the holidays.

Declutter

Decluttering will improve the appearance of your home and make it more spacious for holiday events. Start with your foyer and proceed to the living room, stairs, kitchen, and dining room to remove clutter from bookshelves, ottomans, coffee table and counters. Get rid of unwanted items and store away what you want to keep for future use.  

Ready Your Kitchen

Deep clean your kitchen to make it a pleasant environment for guests to congregate during the holidays. Clean counters, cabinets, appliances, and floor. Stock up on foods and snacks you’ll need for the holidays as well as party supplies (napkins, paper plates, paper towels.) Check your dinnerware, glasses, and utensils to ensure they’re in top shape for holiday service.   

Prepare Guest Room

Wash guest sheets, blankets, comforters and towels well before house guests arrive so you won’t be caught unprepared. Clear out closet space for guests to hang up holiday clothing and empty a drawer for personal belongings. Scented candles and a bowl of holiday snacks add a finishing touch to welcome those you love.

Stock up Bathrooms

Stock up on toiletries, toilet paper, and paper towels and put them well within visitor reach. Purchase new bath mats and rugs, if needed, to enhance your décor. Tidy bathrooms right before guests arrive, so they will appear fresh and clean. 

Updating your home insurance is an important part of preparing your home for the holidays. Dwelling, liability and contents coverage will protect you against the risk of holiday accidents. For comprehensive coverage at an affordable cost, call or visit Pizano Insurance in Wayzata, MN today.
