The nights are drawing in, and Christmas is nearing, so it’s time to start ticking off those last few Christmas renovations.

It’s easy to come home after work or spend the weekends curled up on the sofa with a mulled wine and a box of chocolates. But it’s time to start completing that list of odd jobs before the big day! The festive period is about being at home and spending time with your nearest and dearest. So spruce up your home with these Christmas renovations.

Light the way

When people are walking up to your home, it’s best to have your home illuminated to make it look appealing and inviting. Having a light outside your door will make your guests feel welcome as soon as they arrive. Light the way with one of the most effortless Christmas renovations: adding some outdoor lights to guide your friends, family and even Santa to the door.

Impress with the dress

As your guests enter your home, make a statement in the porch or hallway with a fresh coat of paint to freshen up the space. Add a giant lampshade, chandelier or stand-alone light, to bring something different to your home that will provide a talking point as people take off their winter layers.

Handle your Christmas renovations

Congregating in the kitchen or dining room is the done thing during the Christmas period. One easy Christmas renovation can involve sprucing up the handles of your kitchen cupboards or doors. Although a quick and easy renovation, it will look like you have spent hours recreating your social space.

Designer bathrooms

The bathroom, whether upstairs or down, will be in full use over Christmas, with friends and family using the room as a place to freshen up or take five minutes out. Clear any clutter from the room, add a fresh coat of paint and maybe invest in some stylish accessories to add a designer touch for the final Christmas renovation.
