Practically point-and-click, these decorating tweaks won't make you break a sweat — or the bank — as you prepare your home for holiday visitors.
1. Brighten Up the Bathroom
Even if you sing Adele while you soap up, this "Yellow Submarine" shower curtain by Jan Habraken lightens what can be the house's darkest room. And it's kid-friendly yet not adult-repellent.
2. Stow Your Stuff
Sweep off those surfaces in time for guests. The felt storage bins at West Elm are 16 inches square and can hold unopened mail, unread magazines, unfilled papers, and more.
3. Put Out the Welcome Mat
Maine's lobstermen must now replace their "float rope" with "sink rope" to avoid entangling sea creatures. The Maine Float-Rope Company keeps float rope out of landfills by making it into doormats. Solid or striped, they'll add some summer to your doorstep beneath the graying skies of winter.
4. Tame the Bedside Table
That jumble of drinking water, reading material, writing implements, and ringing alarm clock next to your bed can coexist, says Martha Stewart Living. The Ferm Living "one-bedroom apartment cabinet".
