As much as Christmas is a time of endless festivities, it also comes with a myriad of worries. You are expecting guests and family and you want to present your house in the best possible way. This is why it’s never too early to think about home renovations you want to get done before Christmas. So, here we are with five economical and effective renovation ideas for you that you can use this Christmas.
1. Upgrade your living room
The wear and tear of your living room floor is one thing that you should keep in mind while planning home renovations during the Christmas season if you are expecting a lot of visitors. So, if possible, try investing in timber flooring because it is decent, inexpensive, and easy to clean.
Also, make sure to decorate the Christmas tree in such a way that it matches the rest of your living room. Introduce knitted throws and cushions in cheery colours to add warmth to the seating area.
2. Focus on the dining room
Apply a light and neutral wall colour to keep your dining room feeling airy and light. You can also go for darker wall colours to make the dining space look more intimate. Of course try to decorate the room that will fit your house style.
Also, if you have enough budget, you can add hardwood flooring to your dining room to give it an upscale look.

Moreover, make sure you have enough glassware, crockery, and cutlery to spare. Mix and match different sets if you’re short on a few items. Don’t forget to give the bar a once-over to see if anything requires restocking.
3. Lighten up your porch or patio
If you want to have a barbeque or serve cocktails outside, it would be a good idea to dust off the outdoor furniture and see if they require any repair. Again, the flooring must be top-quality to withstand any pressure if your guests choose to tango to the music after a few rounds of the cocktail.

Add a festive aura to your outdoor area through Christmas lights installation by using fairy lights or a light projector. This is not only effective but also an economical alternative to the big outdoor lights. Also, add a few trolleys for drinks and food to leave the tables free for guests to dine on.
4. Show your bathroom some love
You can begin your bathroom renovation by adding wallpapers in your bathrooms. Make sure to place them out of the splashing range and install proper ventilation to prevent any moisture buildup. Other than the wallpaper, certain things like a mirror cabinet, floating shelves, racks, hooks, and a built-in linen closet will also come in handy.
Also, pay special attention to the lighting in your bathroom. If you have a small and dark bathroom, a single diffuse light in the center of the ceiling would be enough. If your bathroom is already bright, a pair of wall sconces would suffice.
5. Don’t ignore the kitchen
Small renovations such as replacing the cupboard handle to give your kitchen and bathroom a modern appearance will go a long way in giving your home the “wow” look. Also, switching up your lighting will update the feel of your kitchen space and make it much easier to work in.

You can also try arranging a row of metallic pendant lights over the kitchen island or installing spotlights over your food preparation spots to lighten up the entire kitchen. If doing all this on your own seems a little overwhelming to you, you can seek help from any of your local contractors to carry out these small renovations.
Wrapping Up
Christmas will be here before you know it and the spirit of the festive season will soon start kicking in. So, give your friends and relatives a wholly different feel of your home when they come to visit you this festive season.
Hopefully, the tips mentioned above will come in handy when you renovate your house before the upcoming Christmas.
