5 Designer Tips for Stress-Free Holiday Hosting

Hosting doesn’t have to be overwhelming. These quick strategies will make your home feel polished, cozy, and guest-ready:

1. Light Your Home Warmly

Lighting sets the entire mood.
Choose soft, warm bulbs, use table lamps in every room, and add candles or twinkle lights for holiday glow.

2. Create a Welcoming Entry Moment

A simple console arrangement — greenery, a lamp, a candle, a bowl for keys — instantly makes guests feel at home.

3. Refresh Your Textiles

Swap in seasonal throws, updated pillow covers, or a fresh rug for instant warmth and visual impact.

4. Style the Guest Spaces

A guest room only needs a few simple touches:

• Fresh bedding

• A set of clean towels

• A soft lamp

• A candle or room spray

• A water carafe or small tray

Powder baths feel instantly elevated with new hand towels, a chic soap, and a small sprig of greenery.

5. Don’t Overcomplicate It

You don’t need to overhaul your entire home.
Focus on the touchpoints your guests will experience — lighting, dining, entryway, and guest spaces. Small, intentional updates go a long way.

Get Guest-Ready in One Afternoon

If you’re hosting soon, and you're short on time, focus on these fast upgrades:

• Add fresh greenery or a seasonal floral moment

• Layer in warm lighting

• Update pillows or throws

• Style a simple centerpiece

• Swap a rug or add a runner

• Refresh guest spaces with thoughtful touches

You’ll be amazed how quickly your home transforms.
