The cold nights are here, Halloween and Bonfire Night have come and gone, and mince pies are back on the supermarket shelves. This can all mean only one thing: Christmas is right around the corner. It’s the time of year to bring friends and family together for a celebration of the last year, but with so many people to celebrate with, you might find that the current amount of space you currently have available isn’t quite going to cut it.

So, here at Taskers of Accrington, we’ve put together a list of helpful tips that you can use to create a bit more temporary space within your home, to help you through the festive party season.

Consider some extendable furnishings

If you’re someone who is particularly sociable all year round, then it might be worth investing in some smart furniture options that can be converted to accommodate more people. Our extending dining tables are a great choice for those looking for a dining option that’s perfect all year round, regardless of the occasion. On top of this, you might also be surprised by how much space you can find once you remove any furnishing from your home that’s only there for aesthetic purposes. If you’re planning on hosting a Christmas party, then maybe consider moving any bits of furniture that aren’t going to serve a functional purpose into a different room or area of your home.

Invest in some smart storage solutions

One of the best ways you can keep your home organised and tidy, while also creating more space is by investing in neat storage solutions that you can hide away in places where there’s unused space available. Slimline storage boxes are great for hiding away and keeping items you no longer need out of sight under places like your bed and any cabinets that are resting on legs. If you’re still struggling to find places to store your things, then maybe consider purchasing some furnishings that feature built in storage solutions. For inspiration, take a look at our luxurious selection of divan beds, and ottoman beds. What’s more, smart storage solutions are great for hiding gifts because of the way they blend in. Perfect for this time of year!

Have a good old clear out

We’re all guilty of a bit of hoarding every now and then, whether it’s intentional or not. So, it’s worth being honest with yourself about whether or not you really need all the different features you’ve added to your home over the years, because Christmas will be here soon, and the chances are that you’ll be receiving more stuff as a result. So, the trick here is to be honest with yourself - If there are features in your home that are a little old and seen better days, maybe it’s time they were replaced with something from our vast selection here at Taskers of Accrington.

By investing in furniture options that offer multiple functions, we guarantee you’ll have enough space for the ultimate Christmas get-together in no time. So, if you’re looking to refresh your home furnishing selection before the festivities begin, you’re in exactly the right place.
