Getting ready to host in your outdoor spaces for the holidays? With a little planning, you can create a welcoming, clean, and festive environment for your guests to enjoy! Here are some steps to transform your backyard, patio, or garden with Sweepsouth’s professional touch.
Get your outdoor space sparkling clean.
The foundation of a great outdoor space starts with a deep clean, so let’s dive into the essentials.
1. Sweep, dust, and declutter.
Leaves, dust, and clutter can quickly build up in outdoor spaces. Grab a broom to clear pathways and consider using a blower for faster results on larger areas. Don’t forget to clean off surfaces and wipe down outdoor furniture, or even better, book a Sweepsouth service for a full pre-holiday sweep!
2. Tackle the windows and exterior walls.
A quick wash of windows and outdoor walls instantly brightens your outdoor area. If you’ve got larger surfaces to tackle or don’t have the time, Sweepsouth’s pros are trained in exterior cleaning, leaving every corner spotless.
3. Freshen up your greenery.
Prune your plants, mow the lawn, and water everything to keep it looking lush. Arrange potted plants around your entertaining space for an extra touch of green.
Arrange your space for comfort and conversation.
Once you’ve achieved a sparkling clean space, it’s time to think about setup.
1. Create seating zones.
Set up comfortable seating that encourages conversation. Consider separate areas for dining, lounging, and mingling. Add a mix of chairs, benches, or cushions for extra cosiness.
2. Add lighting for ambience.
Hang string lights, add lanterns, or use candles to create a festive evening glow. Lighting transforms outdoor areas and makes it easy to extend your gathering into the night.
Bring in the festive touches.
With a clean and organised space, bring in some holiday cheer!
1. Use seasonal decor.
Incorporate a few seasonal decorations, like holiday table runners, throw pillows, or even small centrepieces. Try sticking to a colour theme for a cohesive look.
2. Add extra comforts.
Holiday gatherings often come with chilly weather. Provide throw blankets and portable heaters so guests stay cosy all evening.
Preparing your outdoor space for holiday entertaining doesn’t need to be overwhelming. With Sweepsouth, it’s easy to make every corner shine so you can focus on enjoying your holiday season. Let us handle the heavy lifting – creating the perfect holiday setting has never been simpler.
