6 Reasons to Let a Professional Deck Your Hall

Entertain in style this holiday and save time by letting a professional decorate your home for the holidays.  You want your house to shine, inside and out, and decorating done right can take up a lot of time.  No matter how creative you are, a professional will still be one step ahead of you.

Here are some Santa-approved reasons why you might want to outsource your holiday decorating.

You Have No Time

We are all crunched for time in one way or another. But people with serious time issues, like working mothers, single fathers or people who travel frequently want the Christmas sparkle to just appear.  Whether you want a decorator to work with your personal decorations or bring items into your home, they’ll do all the bulb-replacing, tree-assembling and light stringing so you don’t have to bother. They’ll even go get you a real tree if that’s what you’d prefer.   The best part is that they’ll come after Christmas and take it all down and put it away or take it back to their warehouse.

It’s Safer

Holiday decorating companies with ladders and bucket-lifts can string your exterior lights if you have a two-storey home or mature trees that you would love to see lit up for Christmas.  If you have a home with a vaulted ceiling it may be safer to have a professional company install lights and décor in the interior of your home. Again, many can string up your own lights and inflatable holiday characters on the front lawn or they can bring their own in.  They can also deal with complicated wiring which adds to the safety of your display.

When You're Staging to Sell

Are you selling your home?  Late in the year can be a tough time to get people interested in your home – there are so many other priorities and distractions.  If you are already staging your home to put it on the market, why not add a little pizaaz with some professionally placed decorations.  This type of décor would be non-personal – the kind you see in public spaces such as shopping malls and hotels.  More corporate.  People will certainly remember walking through your home when it’s full of holiday cheer.

You Want a Contemporary Look

It was so nice of your mother to give you all the Christmas decorations you grew up with.  Some have sentimental value but some are so hopelessly dated that you can’t even call them vintage.  A decorator knows what’s on-trend and they’re blessed with creativity to make new items work with the old.  They will also work with your interior colours.  If you like all-white, have an all-white Christmas theme in your home.  Christmas doesn’t have to be red and green if you’re not into it.

Decorating Sucks the Joy Out of Christmas

Perhaps you love the baking, the present shopping, the egg-nog-noshing but hanging up lights and mistletoe is for the birds.   If this part of the whole holiday tradition just isn’t your thing a decorator is your holly jolly answer.

You Need to Impress People

When you think about it, impressing people isn’t really what Christmas is all about.  But there are times when you want your home to look its best.  You do want to create a good impression particularly if you are hosting holiday parties that will be attended by your boss, your co-workers or people within political circles.  The types of functions that will be catered and that you may even have hired a bartender for.  Hire a professional to add that touch of Christmas class and you'll be glad you did.
