At Last, Let's Get Decorating for the Holidays!
Friday Nov 29 2024

We’ve been in a holiday mood since the latest décor started arriving weeks ago, but we’ve refrained from sharing until Thanksgiving was officially in the rearview. We want to respect the holiday purists, after all. Now, with the turkey and trimmings in leftover containers, we’re all about trimming the tree! We have four tips that will leave your home looking like it’s straight out of a Hallmark movie.

Holiday Decorating Tip #1: Go Green


This year, we’re all about going green with both the color and lots of greenery! From garlands and wreaths to the star of the show, your tree, this is the year to bring the outdoors in with plenty greenery. Add extra touches to your table liner, your sofa table, and anywhere that seems like it could use a little something extra.

Holiday Decorating Tip #2: Brighten Up the Bedrooms


Don’t limit your decorating to the main living areas of the home. The bedroom halls are just begging to be decked. Whether you hang wreaths above the beds or add trees, the bedrooms are a fun canvas!

Make it Memorable


One of our clients shared a tradition we can’t resist to pay forward. It’s such a sweet idea! She puts smaller trees in each of her kids’ bedrooms and gives them each a new ornament on Thanksgiving that they can add to the tree. She has a special box for each child to store their ornaments in. By the time they’re ready to leave home, they’ll have a lovely collection of sentimental pieces to take with them.

Holiday Decorating Tip #3: Welcome Warmth


With shorter days and soooo much nighttime, this tip is crucial – weave warm lighting into your decorating. This can be with candles, faux candles, and even an added lamp or two and warm bulbs. It may be dark and cold outside, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be merry and bright within.
