Tips from Margeate Work to Help You Enjoy a Cozy, Stress-Free Season
The holidays are the perfect time to make your home shine — both for guests and for your own peace of mind. Whether you’re hosting family, decorating for the season, or just enjoying quiet time at home, here’s a simple checklist to help you get ready:
Home Comfort & Maintenance
- Check your heating system and replace filters before the cold sets in
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Clean out gutters and downspouts to prevent winter clogs
- Seal windows and doors to keep warmth in and energy bills low
- Schedule any small repairs you’ve been putting off
Decor & Ambiance
- Give high-traffic areas a quick refresh — entryway, guest rooms, living room
- Add cozy touches: blankets, warm lighting, and seasonal scents
- Decorate safely — keep cords secure and avoid overloading outlets
- Set out a few “signature” decorations that make your home feel personal and welcoming
Guest & Gathering Prep
- Deep clean kitchen appliances (especially the oven and fridge)
- Stock up on essentials — paper goods, cleaning supplies, and baking staples
- Prepare guest spaces with fresh linens and little comforts
- Make room for extra coats, shoes, and gifts
End-of-Year Homeowner To-Dos
- Review your mortgage and home equity options before year-end
- Save receipts for any home improvements (they can help at tax time!)
- Start a list of goals for your home in 2026 — remodels, upgrades, or a possible move
A little preparation now means more time to enjoy what matters most — good food, good company, and the comfort of home.
