Home Tips & Inspirations > Christmas Starts in the ‘Ber’ Months: How to Prep Your Home for the Holidays
Published Date: September 23, 2024
In the Philippines, once the Ber months begin, it signals that Christmas is just around the corner. As early as September, the air starts to fill with the holiday spirit, and it’s common to see homes gradually transforming with festive decorations. Before getting carried away with the garlands, Christmas lights, and parol displays, the first step is to prepare your home. A well-prepped home makes decorating more enjoyable, easier, and stress-free. Here are the five steps from Wilcon Depot that will help you make your home Christmas-ready:
What Is Tuscan Design?
Tuscan design, inspired by the rustic beauty of the Italian region of Tuscany, is a style that embodies warmth, charm, and timeless elegance. This design aesthetic draws heavily from the natural elements, traditional craftsmanship, and the rich cultural heritage of Tuscany—the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.
1. Declutter And Organize
Before bringing out the Christmas decorations, start with a clean slate. Declutter your space and get rid of any unnecessary items that may be crowding your home. Store away things that won’t be needed during the holidays and make room for your holiday decorations. This step will not only make decorating easier but will also give your home a fresher and more inviting atmosphere.

2. Deep Clean Key Areas
With guests likely visiting during the holidays, now is the perfect time to deep clean your home, especially in high-traffic areas such as the living room, kitchen, and dining area. Clean out your refrigerator to make room for holiday feasts, scrub down surfaces, and ensure your floors are spotless. This way, your home will feel fresh and ready to be dressed up with festive decor.

3. Plan Your Theme And Style
Christmas decorations don’t have to be random or mismatched. Take a moment to plan your theme. Whether you prefer the classic red and green combination, a chic gold and white palette, or a warm, rustic, nature-inspired look, having a clear vision helps guide your decorating process. It also allows you to organize and purchase any new items you might need in advance, rather than scrambling at the last minute.

4. Check And Upgrade Lighting
Christmas lights are a must for any holiday display, but before you start stringing them up, check your existing lights for any damage. Replace burnt-out bulbs and consider upgrading to more energy-efficient options like LED Christmas lights. They’re more durable and can save you money on electricity. Also, think about how to creatively light up your outdoor space to extend the festive cheer outside your home.

5. Get Ready For Christmas
Before you start decorating, it’s a good idea to prepare for Christmas decor shopping early. Watch out for sales and discounts, especially during the Ber months when many stores offer sale items to celebrate the festive season. Make a list of what you need, whether it’s new Christmas tree ornaments, lights, or outdoor displays, and take advantage of these early promotions. This way, you avoid the holiday rush, save money, and ensure you get the best decor for your home.
