READ TIME: 4 MIN.
The holidays can be a fun and joyful time of year, but also crazy and chaotic. Making sure your home is neat and organized ahead of time is a great way to ease some of the stress of the season.
Marty Basher, home organization expert with ModularClosets.com has put together some practical and easy-to-follow tips for helping you organize your home for the holidays and make the season less stressful for the season.
Between errands and shopping, to throwing gatherings and attending others, the holidays can fun and joyful, but also one of the most stressful times of the year. Having your home organized ahead of time is a great way to eliminate some of that frenzy and stress.
Tips for Organizing Your Home for the Holidays:
Perform a quick home walk through and jot down all the rooms that need to be cleaned and what needs to be done specifically in each room. This is a great time to enlist the help of your family or to hire a cleaning service for a one-time cleaning. Got clutter? Now's a great time to sort through the piles and move out anything preventing you from properly cleaning and organizing. This includes mail piles, counter clutter, items to donate, and more.
Print off any recipes you'll be using to have them at quick reach and so you can cross check the ingredients needed against your shopping list. Double check your pantry and freezer to see what you already have so you don't buy double. This is a great time to clean out your fridge and freezer to make room for incoming holiday foods.
If you find your decorations are less than organized, make a pact with yourself to do it properly this year to make next year less overwhelming. Once you know what you have, take a stroll through your home and see where you want your decorations to go. For areas needing lights or ribbon, measure and jot down the space so you have it readily available. Once you know exactly what you have and where you want it to go, you can then decide what you're missing and if it's a wise investment to purchase more. Having more than what you need just creates more stuff to have to store and deal with.
