For You this Holiday Season!

Look at you. Soaking up the joy of family time…basking in the glow of your gorgeous tree…peaceful, happy, carefree…ready for the holidays. Now look at your house. Perhaps not quite as put together or prepared?

You have about a week before the first batch of relatives arrive. Don’t panic. You’ve got this. Here are two uncommon ways you can spruce up your home in less than a day, making it wow-worthy in a flurry.

1.

Incorporate Decorative Pieces

Make a fabulous first impression with greenery, garland, and timeless strands of white lights. Available at most Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, and other craft or hardware store locations. Feel free to customize it based on the specific elements you’ve incorporated into your design or any particular theme you’ve chosen.

2.

Elegance is Simplicity

Once you have your color palette, choose ornaments, ribbons, and other decorations that fit within that scheme. This creates a cohesive and visually appealing decor that feels intentional and well-thought-out.

You might choose metallic ornaments, white candles, and gold ribbons to create a chic and unified look. Incorporating natural elements, such as pine cones, greenery, or even small branches into your decor is another great way to bring warmth to the overall design as well.

DESIGN TREND

Don’t Forget the Garland

Fresh pine garlands can breathe life into any room for the holidays. They are both festive and fragrant!

Add them in doorways, as movement from room to room will release new wafts of the wonderful holiday pine scent.

DESIGN TIP

Pick a theme & stick with it

When decorating for the holidays, it is easy to go overboard, taking your space from gorgeous to gaudy. Before you start decorating, pick a theme for the holiday season and keep it in mind throughout the house. Silver and gold or all-white are both great options for a timeless and clean look throughout your home.
