Get Your Home Holiday-Ready with These 5 Organizing Tips

The twinkling lights, the aroma of freshly baked cookies, and the laughter of friends and family are key elements that create the wonder of the holiday season. If your home is currently feeling more chaotic and cluttered than whimsical, fear not! We can help you keep your cluttered home from dampening the holiday spirit! 

As your trusted home organization experts in Glenview, IL, we've curated essential organizing tips to seamlessly prepare your home for the holidays.

1. Declutter Key Hosting Areas:

Before adorning your home with holiday decorations, decluttering is key. Start by sorting through one room at a time where you know your guests will gather. Think about main floor areas like the living room, kitchen, and dining rooms to start. Donate or discard items you no longer need, making space for festive decor.

2. Simplify Hosting with a Functional Kitchen:

Streamline your kitchen for holiday meal prep by decluttering cabinets, organizing pantry items, and creating designated spaces for cooking utensils and baking essentials. A simplified kitchen that contains the tools you actually use will allow you to make the yummiest meals for your guests quickly and easily. 

3. Welcome Guests with a Cozy Entryway:

Create a warm and inviting entryway by organizing coats, shoes, and accessories. Consider using hooks, baskets, or a small shoe rack to keep the area clutter-free.

Make sure to leave room for the coats and shoes of your guests during this time of the year as well. An organized entryway will make your cold guests feel welcomed while enabling them to self-serve hanging up or grabbing their own coat and shoes on their way out. 

4. Holiday Clean-Up: Storage Solutions for Seasonal Decor

Invest in clear, labeled storage bins to neatly store and organize your holiday decorations after the season ends. This ensures easy access and prevents tangled lights or misplaced ornaments next year. If storing and putting away the holiday decor in January feels like a burden, call SimplyOrganized to help!
