The Top 5 Interior Renovations to Tackle Before the Holidays

Interior Renovations Before the Holidays
With the holidays approaching, now is the time to refresh your home. Here are the top 5 interior renovations that make your space festive, functional, and welcoming.
The holiday season means family gatherings, festive dinners, and more time spent indoors. If your home is due for an update, autumn is the perfect window to complete renovations before guests arrive. Tackling the right projects now ensures your home is both comfortable and impressive when it matters most. According to the National Association of Realtors, kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring upgrades consistently rank among the most valuable home improvements for both function and resale value. 

1. Kitchen Upgrades for Holiday Cooking

The kitchen is the heart of holiday activity. Even small upgrades—like new countertops, modern cabinets, or updated lighting—can transform your kitchen into a functional, inviting space.

Quick win: Installing energy-efficient appliances or adding a new island improves workflow and style. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that efficient appliances can save homeowners hundreds annually.

 

2. Bathroom Refreshes for Guests

Bathrooms see heavy use during the holidays. Upgraded fixtures, new vanities, or tile work create a welcoming guest experience.

Tip: Even a fresh coat of paint and new hardware can elevate the look. According to Houzz’s 2023 U.S. Bathroom Trends Study, simple updates like lighting and paint significantly improve home appeal.

 

3. Fresh Interior Paint

Paint is one of the fastest ways to revitalize your home. Neutral tones provide a calm backdrop for décor, while accent walls add personality.

Why now? Fall’s mild weather makes it an ideal time. The American Coatings Association recommends painting in moderate humidity for longer-lasting results.

 

4. Flooring Upgrades

High-traffic areas deserve attention before the holidays. Replacing worn carpet or dated tile with hardwood, luxury vinyl, or modern tile creates a polished look and easier cleanups.

Quick fix: Professional deep cleaning of existing flooring can also make a big impact. The National Wood Flooring Association reports hardwood flooring remains one of the most requested upgrades.

 

5. Lighting Improvements

Lighting sets the mood for gatherings. Recessed lights, pendants, and dimmable options create a warm, versatile atmosphere. Mirrors enhance brightness, making rooms feel bigger.

According to the ENERGY STAR® program, upgrading to efficient lighting improves ambiance and reduces energy costs—especially useful during high-use winter months.
