With stores now selling Christmas decorations in the middle of summer, I don’t need to remind you that the holiday season is upon us. Aside from shopping for gifts, the holidays also bring guests to our door. And since these friends may not visit often, many a host wants to make a good impression.
In the spirit of the season, Marie Kondo has provided on her blog some quick tips to ensure that your house is looking its best for invited (or uninvited) guests. For example, she suggests the following:
Do a “Joy Check”
We become so accustomed to living in our space that it is difficult to see it objectively. Start by walking through the front door as if you were a guest. Move through each room, looking at it with fresh eyes. Perhaps you’ve stuffed things in a closet or piled items you’re feeling unsure about. Take this opportunity to ask yourself if these things really spark joy. If they don’t, thank them and let them go.
