Most of us love hosting family and friends around the holidays – but that doesn’t come without a little bit of stress when wanting to make sure everything in our homes is in perfect order and ready to receive guests. From a perfectly terrifying Halloween party to preparing Christmas dinner for the whole gang, many of us are already thinking about what we need to do to get our homes ready.
While it might be too late to book a whole-home remodel in time for the holidays, our new one-room remodeling service is the perfect solution for helping you create a welcoming space for your guests. Whether it’s updating the bathroom, updating a fireplace, or redesigning a guest room or the living room, our one-room remodeling service is the ideal solution to helping you prepare for the holidays.
One-Room Remodel: The Bathroom
Remodeling your guest bathroom before the holidays is a smart move that ensures your space is ready to welcome visitors in style and comfort. An updated bathroom adds a fresh, inviting look that reflects the warmth of the season, while upgraded fixtures and finishes create a more functional space for guests. Plus, modernizing this room can increase your home’s value and offer a quick refresh without the extensive timeline of larger renovations. Completing a guest bathroom remodel before holiday gatherings also means less stress for you and a memorable experience for your guests, who’ll appreciate the attention to detail.
One-Room Remodel: The Fireplace
Updating your fireplace before the holidays transforms your home into a cozy gathering space, ideal for welcoming guests and creating warm memories. A fresh fireplace design—whether through new stonework, a modern mantel, or a gas insert—adds both style and comfort, drawing people in for relaxation and conversation. Enhanced with efficient heating options, your updated fireplace becomes the heart of your home, radiating warmth and ambience. Not only does this upgrade enhance the holiday atmosphere, but it also boosts your home’s value and energy efficiency, making it a worthwhile investment that you and your guests will enjoy for years to come.
One-Room Remodel: Living Spaces
Updating living spaces like the living room, guest bedrooms, and basement areas before the holidays creates a welcoming, functional environment where guests feel right at home. Simple upgrades—new paint, modern lighting, comfortable seating, or additional storage—can make these areas feel fresh and cozy, while larger changes like opening up spaces or adding a warm color scheme enhance comfort and flow. A thoughtful remodel also lets you maximize square footage and tailor each area to specific needs, from a cozy living room for conversation to a guest bedroom with hotel-like amenities. These upgrades turn your home into an inviting retreat, perfect for gathering and celebrating with loved ones.

Quick Tips from Our Team to Prepare for the Holidays
Don’t let the holiday season cause you stress as you gear up to enjoy family and friends in your home. Here are our favorite tips to help you prepare.
Declutter
When you will have extra people sharing your space, you can make your home feel bigger by decluttering. I’m not just talking about getting rid of the pile of junk mail on your dining room table but really going through your home – especially hallways and the kitchen space where everyone tends to gather – and really clearing out as much stuff as you can to give yourself and your guests room to linger.
Swap Out Decor
Instead of just adding holiday décor to what you already have out, replace your existing décor with holiday-themed choices. This will keep your walls, mantle, and table from being overwhelmed while still getting your home into the festive spirit.
Buy New Towels and Pillows
Even if you have perfectly fine pillows and towels, there is nothing more welcoming to a guest than a fresh pillow for their head and a brand-new towel set to use while they’re staying with you. If you have too many to store, consider donating them to a local shelter after your guests depart.
Prepare Dishes Ahead of Time
Instead of spending all your time in the kitchen when you’d rather be visiting, make some dishes ahead of time that are sure crowd pleasers. A pan of lasagna will feed a crowd, but it takes a while to make. Make it now, cover it securely, and stick it in the freezer. Voila! Dinner is nothing more than popping a dish in the oven and browning some garlic bread. Any casserole dish or sauce (spaghetti, chili, stew) can be made ahead and heated up in the crock pot or oven for an easy meal that feeds plenty.
