Why November Is the Smartest Time to Renovate Before the Holidays | Create a Home You’ll Be Proud to Host In

There’s a reason designers love November—it’s the sweet spot between fall and holiday season, when schedules slow down just enough to refresh your home before guests arrive. Whether you’re planning a kitchen upgrade, new lighting scheme, or cozy living room transformation, November is the smartest time to start.

According to Houzz’s 2024 Renovation Barometer, homeowners who began updates in November saved an average of 18% compared to those who waited until December or January. That’s because contractor availability peaks before the holiday surge, and furniture suppliers still offer early seasonal pricing before demand spikes.
