I love the holidays. Not only is it a time to spruce up interiors, but it’s also a moment to create a welcoming space for family and friends. A few small tips can make a holiday shift easy. These tips will get you started no matter what holiday you celebrate from Christmas to Kwanzaa.
SCENT
Certain smells attach to lasting memories. I love a bowl or basket of natural pine cones or a scented candle/diffuser to allow guests to breathe in the season.
TASTE
Decorative bowls with holiday-shaped treats (especially candy canes) always feel like a celebration.
COZY BLANKET
Watching movies, relaxing by the fire, and enjoying extra days off at holiday time requires a fluffy throw blanket. It is perfectly ok for adults to have a “blanky” too.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
A neutral wreath can be dressed up for every holiday. This saves money and storage space. And it’s fun to be creative with adding ornaments, bows, and other plantings.
COLOR
The best thing about holiday decor is the color! You can choose any color and find ornaments and festive decor that will work. The holiday is no longer just about red and green. A tree or wreath with warm lights and personal touches makes the holiday your own.
