Remodeling a home completely on urgent basis, while focusing the holiday preparations, may seem unrealistic until you have got good amount of cash to get your ideas worked upon. However, some minor tweaks and updates aren’t going to cost you much and you will get your home reshaped with less hassle.

It doesn’t matter if you are holding a hammer for the first time after a very long time or you are a professional home remodeler, the tips mentioned below will surely of good help for you if you are willing to renovate your home quickly before holidays.

Enhance your exterior

During the winter holidays, you willingly give up your privacy and show hospitality to the friends and family coming to your home. It means that your home should also be welcoming for the close ones you want to be at your place. The first thing that your guests would like to see is a bright and clean walkway leading to the main door of your house. Since the sun sets early in this part of the year, you need to make the entrance well-lit.

Another cheaper way to enhance your exterior is using the veneer. Use of faux brick panels will not only save you a huge cost but it will make your exterior more lavish.

On the holiday when you are waiting for the guests, light up the exterior walkway and open the windows blinds. This way, the guests would feel that they are being welcomed by your arrangements.

Clean the floor

One of the best ways to make your entire house look spotless is to clean the floor. If the floor of your house requires a little repairing, do it ahead of time. Regularly clean the floor and use special cleaners on the holiday when your guests are expected to arrive at your place.

In case you are using the carpet, use a vacuum cleaner to make the carpet dust free. The winter holiday is a festival occasion which you wouldn’t want to get spoiled due to these minor irregularities.

The bathroom

Bathroom is another essential portion of the home that gets used fairly during holidays. Letting a bathroom remain in its dirty and dusty state before holidays is really not something that your guests would like. Thus, you will need to clean it and repair any broken tiles. For cleaning, the easiest way is to use a spray of hydrogen peroxide with full strength. That will clean the deeper settled dust between the tiles on the grout.

Make sure kitchen appliances are functional

The holiday gatherings greatly involve consumption of foods. Therefore, ensure that all your kitchen appliances are working properly, because you wouldn’t want any delay in preparation of foods for your friends and relatives.
