Countdown to the Holidays: Your Ultimate Holiday Home Refresh

October is the perfect time to pause, take a breath, and look around your home before the holiday rush begins. The season ahead brings dinner parties, family visits, and cozy nights in — and a few simple updates now can make your home feel polished, welcoming, and ready to shine.

A holiday home refresh doesn’t have to mean a full renovation. Fresh paint in key spaces like your dining room, entryway, or living room can instantly elevate the look and feel of your home. Warm, neutral tones or soft whites make beautiful backdrops for holiday décor and help to create a timeless style that carries you right into the new year.

Easy ways to prepare your home for the holidays:

• Refresh interior paint in gathering spaces for a clean, inviting look.

• Update trim, doors, and molding to add definition and elegance.

• Touch up exterior details for instant curb appeal before guests arrive.

• Choose versatile colors that complement seasonal décor.

Booking early is the key. Once November hits, schedules fill up quickly as homeowners rush to prepare for visitors and celebrations. By planning your project now, you can relax knowing your home will be picture-perfect when it matters most.
