YOUR GUIDE TO HOLIDAY DECLUTTERING AND DECORATING


 

The holiday season is full of joy, but it can also bring stress—especially when managing your home. Balancing festive decor with a clutter-free space may seem overwhelming, but with a simple strategy, you can create a beautifully organized home that feels both festive and serene. Here’s how:

  1. Declutter Before Decorating
    Clear key spaces like the living room, kitchen, and entryway to create a blank canvas for your decor. Use the “four-box method” (Keep, Donate, Recycle, Store) to simplify decisions.

  2. Sort Your Holiday Decor
    Go through your holiday decorations and part with items that no longer bring you joy. Consider donating gently used items to others who may appreciate them.

  3. Set Up Holiday Storage
    Organize your holiday decor in labeled, clear bins for easy access next year. Use specialized storage for ornaments and lights to avoid damage.

  4. Adopt a Minimalist Approach
    Focus on key decor pieces, like a beautifully decorated tree or wreaths, rather than over-cluttering every surface. Group decorations in odd numbers for a balanced, stylish look.

  5. Decorate Functionally
    Keep high-traffic areas clear and place decorations where they won’t interfere with daily activities. A simple table runner or small accents are perfect for maintaining functionality.

  6. Involve the Family
    Make decorating a family activity. Let kids help with the tree or set up their own displays, adding personal touches while spreading the workload.

  7. Create Space for Activities
    Set up designated stations for gift wrapping or baking by clearing counters. A dedicated space keeps everything organized and reduces clutter.

By decluttering before decorating and making thoughtful choices with your decor, you’ll create a home that’s both festive and organized. Enjoy transforming your space into a peaceful, joyful haven this holiday season!

The holidays should be filled with joy, not stress. If the thought of decorating, organizing, and managing seasonal clutter is overwhelming, we’re here to take care of it for you. Our holiday services are designed to make this season as effortless as possible.

Here’s How We Can Help:

We offer two sessions for a hassle-free holiday experience:

 Step 3: With the essentials in hand, we’ll design a beautiful, functional display that reflects your style and brings holiday cheer.

 

After the Holidays:

 

Step 1: We’ll return to carefully take down the decorations, reusing or providing storage bins as needed.
