The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s time to break out the decor (if you haven’t already!). For many people, decorating for the holidays can be a stressful experience. This year it doesn’t have to be! At Deziner Tonie – Decorating Den Interiors, we’re here to help make beautifying your home simple and easy.
Whether you’re a minimalist when it comes to decor or you go all out like The Griswolds, use these simple decorating tips to take the pressure out of decorating this holiday season.
Create a welcoming entryway. Throughout the holiday season, you’re bound to welcome dozens of guests into your home. Make sure your entryway is as warm and inviting as possible with the help of a rug. From decorative door mats to elegant runners, you can choose from plenty of seasonal options.
Illuminate your home. Nothing is more festive than the glow of candlelight. Place a variety of candles throughout your holiday decor to capture the warmth of the season. Candles can be used in almost any room in your home, including the bathrooms! Cluster them in the dining room to create a glowing centerpiece, or line your mantle with pillar candles in your favorite scent. If you’re not comfortable using real candles, you can always invest in the battery-operated version, or use other sources of light, like string lights.
Swap your artwork with their festive counterparts. A quick and easy way to add festivity to your home is to swap out your regular wall hangings with holiday-related ones. Replace the artwork hanging in your hallways and main living spaces with art that displays holiday landscapes or sayings. You can also put out holiday family photos. If you don’t want to invest in new artwork, you can always cover your existing wall hangings in wrapping paper to create a festive vibe.
Accessorize with holiday colors. You don’t have to completely change your home decorating style to capture the holiday spirit. Play around with your accessories instead. Dress up your couch with colorful holiday throw pillows. Change your tablecloth to one with a seasonal design. You can even change your window treatments! You’re not limited to red and green, either! Other holiday colors people often forget about include silver, gold, and navy.
Use simple elements from nature. If you lack in the way of holiday decor, you can use everyday items to dress up your home for the holidays. Decorate with winter greens like poinsettias, holly bushes, pine cones, or evergreen branches. They make a stunning display on your mantlepiece or as a centerpiece in your dining area. One of the simplest ways to incorporate a touch of nature in your holiday decor is with a wreath. Hang one on your front door, so guests are immediately greeted with holiday cheer.
