Ready to make your home holiday-ready? Active Organizing offers a range of services to help you declutter, organize, and prepare your home to host family and friends with ease. From a quick guest room refresh to a full kitchen overhaul, we’ll help you create a warm, inviting space that’s ready for celebration.

As the holidays approach, many people feel the excitement—along with a bit of overwhelm—about hosting family and friends. At Active Organizing, we understand the challenge of balancing a welcoming, organized home with the hustle and bustle of the season. Here are our top organization tips, along with recommended products from Target and The Container Store, to help you get your home ready for holiday gatherings.

1. Start with Decluttering Key Areas

A clean, uncluttered space sets the stage for a welcoming home. Begin by clearing high-traffic areas like the living room, dining room, and kitchen. We recommend tackling one area at a time, removing items that are out of season or unnecessary.

Active Organizing Tip: Schedule a decluttering session with us to quickly refresh your space. Our team can help you sort and store items efficiently, so your home is neat and guest-ready!
