Home Renovations For The Holidays

With the busy holiday season rapidly approaching, you may be looking at your home in light of upcoming festivities. When family comes to stay, you want your living space to be warm and inviting. If you are hoping to add some improvements to your home, check out these top three home renovations for the holidays.

#1: Create A Kitchen For Entertainment

The layout of your kitchen plays a huge role in the success of your festivities. Afterall, nothing says the holidays more than a delectable meal with the family. If your kitchen makes cooking for the family difficult, consider upgrading the space. A kitchen renovation is an excellent way to prepare your home for the family.

Not only can you include upgrades to outdated appliances, you can also rework the space to create a more inviting environment. Instead of spending time isolated in the kitchen while you cook, consider a remodel that allows for an open floor plan. A kitchen that opens up into a shared family space allows you to connect with your guests while you prepare the Thanksgiving turkey.

Key items to consider when renovating a kitchen include the following:

• Do you want to upgrade your appliances?
• Do you need additional counter space?
• Do you want to create more storage space?
• What style and feel do you want to achieve?
• What budget are you working within?

A kitchen renovation can be an excellent way to prepare for guests and can be utilized to make the most of your existing space. Whether your goal is to make cooking a meal easier or to open up the space for better entertainment, kitchen renovations are a popular holiday option.

#2: Revitalize Outdated Bathrooms

While your home's bathrooms may not be on the forefront of your mind when you prepare for guests, they will be utilized by a greater number of people during the holidays. If your bathrooms are outdated and drab, they can bring down the appearance of your whole home.

A bathroom remodel can help your home feel fresh, clean, and inviting for guests. Not only can you improve the appearance of your home through a bathroom remodel, you can also create better usability for guests. 

Consider adding a bathtub to a bathroom that only features a shower so bathing little ones will be easier for guests. Update old water-wasting toilets with efficient models to cut down on the amount of water used by guests. 

Have family members who are losing mobility? Consider adding features that will help their stay be more enjoyable such as detachable shower heads and conveniently placed support bars.

#3: Utilize Wasted Space

Do you have an unfinished basement that has turned into storage space for junk? Consider utilizing wasted space in your home through a basement remodel. By turning your basement into usable space, you can accommodate more guests this holiday season.

Depending on the amount of space you have, a basement can turn into guest rooms, an extra half bath, and even a small kitchenette. Alternatively, you can remodel your basement to be an entertainment area. Does your family include a host of energetic young-ones? Turn your basement into a place for the kids.
