Believe it or not, the holiday season is right around the corner and we want to make sure everyone is prepared for the influx of people and the chaos of cooking that is about to begin. Penn Contractors has compiled a list of 5 features that will make hosting your future holiday party the tiniest bit calmer.
Mudroom
Holiday season could sound like the constant shuffle of shoes in and out of the home for some people. To keep your entryway organized, a mudroom gives coats, shoes and bags a place to land. Not only useful for organization, a mudroom helps contain dirt, mud, and wet gear before it gets tracked through the house
Storage for Decorations
This time of year is great for people who love to go all out. Decorations can fill the house ceiling to floor but they need somewhere to go after the celebration is over. Built-in storage, custom shelving, or a well-designed closet gives everything a designated place, making decorating and packing up after the holidays much simpler.
Kitchen Island
The kitchen naturally becomes the gathering place during holiday celebrations. A good island can make the biggest of gatherings feel intimate. It allows for guests to have a front row viewing to all the cooking and conversation that occurs during holiday meal time. An island is perfect for family games, enjoying meals, and post-dinner conversations.
Fireplace
During the holiday season, a fireplace naturally becomes the centerpiece of a room. Whether you’re opening gifts, watching holiday movies, or enjoying a hot cup of cocoa, a fireplace elevates the atmosphere and creates a comfortable and warm environment.
Heated Floors
If you’re looking to add a touch of everyday comfort and luxury into your daily routine, heated floors are a great start. Perfect for hosting, heated floors keep guests feet warm for winter bathroom runs and showers. Unlike a baseboard heater or vent, heated floors create more consistency and keep an even heat throughout the bathroom.
