How to Prepare Your Home for Holiday Entertaining in Dubai

Holiday appetites excite all about traveling and entertainment! Before sending out invites, get your home ready to welcome relatives and family. Use these expert tips from Handyman Dubai.

Make your home sparkle with a thorough clean.

First of all, then, clean your home from top to bottom to welcome the guests. Yes, we mean that: high places. Like ceiling fans, chandeliers, above-cabinet decor, and even furniture and countertops. To finish, drop to the ground and scrub those baseboards into pristine condition. Check every nook and cranny before the holiday party. You can hire a service or do it yourself. But it would be more celebratory in a clean house.

Fix any squeaky floorboards or loose hinges.

A squeaky floorboard may be okay for a Halloween party. But it's best not to delay floor repairs any longer. With holiday gatherings coming, it's time to fix minor repairs. Also, do any small maintenance projects you noticed while cleaning.

Whether to take those repairs on for yourself or hire out to one handyman will rest with you. Think of the impact of a few tiny projects the next time you host guests.

Spruce Up Your Kitchen and Bathroom

The kitchen and bathrooms become the focus of heavy traffic during the holidays. So keep these rooms in good condition for the onslaught of traffic. Fix minor annoyances, like a dripping tap or a toilet that won't flush, before guests arrive. Clean and disinfect kitchen countertops, and try to open up as much counter space as possible. All options in preparing and serving food and drinks become easier.

Afterward, take a minute to liven up these spaces with fun holiday decor. Holiday-themed soaps and linens in the bathroom add a nice touch. You could also add a new holiday air freshener or candle. It would help create the perfect holiday atmosphere.

Add festive lighting and decor.

Must we ask the Lord of the Holidays to suggest something new to adorn his house? He crafts festive feelings into every nook and cranny of the dwelling. Touches like garland, figurines, or candles on the tables put everyone in a holiday spirit. If there's a fireplace, add some holiday touches there. Or, dangle some holiday-themed pictures around it.

There is indeed no better festive mood than a display of holiday lights. Make your entire home festive and bright with holiday decorations outside. Guests will be welcomed by a door adorned with wreaths and holiday lights.

Make sure your plumbing and electrical systems are up to code.

You may not think about it. But your plumbing and electrical systems are vital to your holiday entertainment. Have both systems inspected and serviced before the guests arrive. This will ensure they are ready for the big events. 

This will keep everyone safe and comfortable. It will also ensure your holiday display stays lit for all to enjoy. This will help you avoid costly last-minute repairs!

Add a fresh coat of paint to your exterior and front door.

The first of all things that your guests would see is the exterior of your house, as well as your front door. If your home's exterior and entryway door are worn, clean them. A pressure wash and a new coat of paint will create a fresh look before you hang decorations. Replace old fixtures. Then, add your decorations and lights. They will provide a very fine welcome to your holiday gathering guests as well.

Make sure your heating and cooling system is in good working order.

Before holiday entertaining, temperatures vary by location. It can be lukewarm or cold, requiring warm clothing. A pro should inspect and maintain your heating system before guests arrive. If one is going to entertain with a fire in the fireplace, it must be checked and cleaned.

Add a seasonal wreath or garland to your front door.

Holiday home decor is definitely one of the favourite things for the holiday season. Adorn your front door with a wreath or garland. Your visitors will feel better and more whole upon entering your home.

Set up a festive entryway table.

Do you have a lot of holiday knick-knacks to display? A great way to get in the holiday spirit is to arrange your knick-knacks on an entryway table. It will greet them as they walk in. And, since it's a season of giving, add some party favors by the entryway. Your guests will appreciate the holiday touch. 

Create a cozy and inviting living room.

Create an inviting space with cozy pillows and plenty of seating. It will encourage friends and family to sit and stay a while. If you have a fireplace in your living room, light it. Then, turn on some holiday music and a few scented candles. You've now created a cozy holiday vibe that will impress.
