84% of Americans say they decorate for the holidays. Are you preparing to decorate your home for the festive season?
Putting up holiday decorations is a lot of fun, but it can also be a lot of work. How can you make your home decor more festive while still keeping it cozy and elegant?
We’re here to help. Read on to learn some quick interior design tips for the holidays.
Swap Out Accessories for Seasonal Colors
Decorating for the holidays doesn’t mean you have to go all out and change everything in your home. Start with small changes as the holiday season rolls in.
Swap out your throw pillows and throw blankets on your sofa for seasonal alternatives. Whatever your holiday season color scheme is, this is a great time to whip it out.
You can do the same for your bed linens, pillows, and even the towels in your kitchen and bathroom. These are all small and affordable changes that you can make in a flash to immediately make your interior design more festive.
Set Up a Hot Cocoa Bar Cart
Regardless of which holiday you celebrate, you know hot cocoa is a hallmark of the season. Why not add some festive flair by adding a hot cocoa bar cart to your living room?
A simple bar cart can be made more festive with the addition of holiday decorations, figurines, and lights. Place mugs, cocoa packets, spoons, and any of your favorite cocoa add-ins (we love candy canes for peppermint cocoa) on the cart as well.
When you’re getting cozy for the holidays in the living room, simply wheel the cart over and have a hot cup of cocoa.
Light Up Your Doors and Entryways
Most people are too concerned with decking the halls. What about the doors and entryways?
Use string lights to line your doors and entryways and make them look more festive and elegant. For extra flair, you can add tinsel or greenery as well.
This is only a small addition, but it will make a big impact and immediately make your home feel holiday-ready.
Bring in Festive Smells
When we think of home decor, we don’t always think of the way the home smells. Your home’s scent is just as important as its decorations, and holiday smells can really improve the ambiance!
Many people use candles for the holidays. The soft glow from the flame really improves the entire holiday aesthetic. You could also try making potpourri or using seasonal wax melts to make your home smell festive.
Get Creative With Your Tree
Do you put up a tree for the holidays? Get creative with it!
You could stick with a classic and elegant Christmas tree, complete with hanging baubles and twinkling lights, but many people are opting for alternatives, especially if they live in small spaces.
Try one of these fun alternative Christmas trees when you’re decorating for a totally unique and festive look.
