Preparing Your Home for Fall & Winter Holidays

Can you believe that the holidays are almost here?! If you don’t believe us, check this out! The football preseason is TODAY (August 1st), it's 54 days until the first day of fall (September 23rd), 91 days until Halloween, 119 days until Thanksgiving, and 148 days until Christmas. Before you know it, you’ll have a house full of guests, parties for friends and family, and you’ll want to do it comfortably. Here are a few tips to help you get your home ready for those busy fall and winter holidays, and how Slumberland at the Lake of the Ozarks can help!


Light it Up

The days are going to start getting darker as the last rays of summer begin to fade into fall. This means that your home will start to feel a little darker as well, and earlier. Now is a great time to invest in some beautiful light fixtures. These don’t have to be permanent, a few good table and floor lamps can do the trick beautifully. If you’re looking for the perfect lamp, be sure to stop by Slumberland at the Lake. We have more than just sleeping materials.

Create Some Cozy

Colder months required one thing only - an increase in the cozy factor. You can do this through soft, indulgent throw blankets, pillows, candles, and more. You can even trade out your area rug and opt for something a little warmer than what you may keep during the summer months. If you need help choosing the perfect colors and textures for your accent pillows and throw blankets, we would love to help you out!

Gather Around the Table

Do you have enough seats at your table for all of your guests? If you've been thinking about upgrading your dining room table, now is a great time to do it! Make room for everyone to enjoy each others company. We have many beautiful and functional dining pieces to make your home the perfect place to entertain!

Overnight Guests?

This is a big one. If you’ll be having overnight guests, sometimes it can be hard to figure out where to put everyone. Slumberland has the perfect solution for all of your bedding needs. From sleeper sofas, futons, and even specific mattresses at the Lake of the Ozarks for bunk beds and more - we’ve got you covered from top to bottom. Need bedding for those beds? We have that as well! All different sizes, colors, and styles are available to make your home feel welcome and inviting to those who will be traveling from near and far to celebrate the holidays with you.

Keep Seasonal Scents & Flavors On Hand

Finally, there is one final touch that can make your home feel like the perfect homey place, and that is found in the scents and tastes of the season. Here are a few things you can keep in your pantry to help make the season come alive any time you have guests over.

  • Cinnamon (ground and sticks)
  • Nutmeg
