Get Your Home Holiday-Ready: Why the Time to Start is Now

Every year it happens the same way. 

One day you’re soaking up those late-summer evenings, and the next you’re staring at your calendar wondering how the holidays snuck up again. 

Guest lists, menus, and—oh yes—the house.

If you’ve ever wished your home felt more pulled together before the holiday rush begins, the secret is simple: start now. 

At Laurel Alexander Interiors, we believe a home should be both beautiful and functional, especially when it’s filled with the people you love.

Dining & Entertaining Spaces That Welcome Everyone

The dining room is more than just a table and chairs; it’s the heart of the holidays. Whether it’s Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas morning brunch, this space sets the stage for memory-making.

Here’s the catch: the good pieces take time. 

Custom dining tables, comfortable seating, or that sideboard you’ve had your eye on? If you wait until November, they’ll likely arrive long after the last guest has gone home. 

Planning ahead means your home will be ready, and stress won’t be part of the equation.

Guest Bedrooms Worthy of a Warm Welcome

When friends and family stay overnight, comfort matters. 

A truly thoughtful guest space goes beyond fresh sheets. Think layered bedding, soft throws, good lighting, and maybe even a new mattress if it’s overdue. 

These details create a hotel-level experience right in your own home.

Small seasonal updates, such as cozy blankets or rich, warm bedding, instantly shift the room into holiday mode. It’s a simple way to make guests feel cared for.

The Details That Set the Tone

It’s amazing what a few finishing touches can do. 

Seasonal greenery, a bold centerpiece, or even swapping out pillows and rugs can take a room from everyday to festive. These small updates don’t just look good, they help your home feel intentional and ready to celebrate.

Why It Pays to Start Early

Lead times and shipping delays are very real, especially this time of year.

By getting ahead now, you’ll:

• Have furniture and décor in place before the season begins

• Leave room for custom details that make your home unique

• Eliminate last-minute stress so you can actually enjoy the holidays
