Today, Claudia Sundin from CS Designs joins us to offer some advice on preparing your home for guests this holiday season.

There are a few things you can do that don't require a lot of work. For example, add fresh flowers for the table. For Thanksgiving, consider holiday colors when choosing your flowers. Get furniture reupholstered. Switch out your rugs to set up a new color scheme in your home. These are things you can do in a quick time frame, and you don't have to spend a lot of money because you use furniture you already own.


If you want to update your home, paint! A couple of years ago, everyone painted their homes in beige or camel colors. Now, gray is the latest trend. Be careful when picking out your gray; different shades of gray come with tinges of green, blue, or purple.

Now that your house is all updated, how can you keep guests from congregating in the kitchen? Spread out the food and beverages. Don't just have one food and beverage station. The way your furniture is set up also affects the flow of the room, but having different food and beverage stations will definitely encourage people to keep moving throughout the party.
