We all drag the Christmas totes out to start our holiday decorating each year, a tradition that marks the beginning of the festive season and fills our homes with warmth and cheer.
Let's bring it back to basics with some easy decorating tips and ideas that can transform our homes into a winter wonderland without overwhelming ourselves.
Ditch the Ornaments
Sometimes, less is more. When it comes to decorating it's perfectly fine to keep it simple and still achieve a festive and cozy atmosphere. For the past few years I've added less and less ornaments on my tree. Surprisingly, this one step simplifies the whole decorating process. There are fewer items to unpack and repack when it's over.... Plus you're not fiddling so much with placing each ornament perfectly on the tree. Your home can still look amazingly beautiful and full of holiday spirit without all the ornaments.
A snow flocked tree is truly stunning on it's own and brings a cozy winter atmosphere. Try using a snow flocked tree with no decorations at all. How easy is that!
This minimalist approach not only showcases the tree's natural beauty but also emphasizes the elegance of simplicity.
Out with the New & In with the Old
Not the normal saying but you get the idea. Do you have any old pieces from your childhood or that's been in the family awhile? My husband thought I was silly for using this wooden reindeer he handmade in elementary school but it has become a staple in my holiday decorating. Adds some vintage character and memories to our home.
Be Crafty
Grab a vase or glass from your cabinet and some craft paper or wrapping paper and cut a simple strip of paper to wrap the glass for instant easy decorating. Add this simple decoration to a guest bathroom.
Candlelight and the lights in general during the holidays are truly what brings the warm, cozy feeling we're all looking for. So let's break out the candles. Try adding some string or burlap and an extra holiday decoration that's not being used and add a splash of holiday to a regular candle.
These are just a few ideas for you to get started
on your holiday decorating.
