The holidays are officially here. It’s time to break out the seasonal décor and spread some holiday magic around the home. There’s nothing like the excitement and joy that comes during this time of year, and the vibe of your home plays a significant part. Here are some easy tips for setting the mood with a festive holiday home.
Cheer starts at the entry
As guests come through the front door, greet them with the holiday spirit. A beautiful wreath on the door, a festive doormat and colored lights will bring a smile to anyone’s face. Throw in a few candy canes and dress the edge of your door with some greenery for good measure.
Deck the halls with florals and greenery
These days many families opt for a faux tree, but there are a lot of ways to bring a traditional holiday fragrance into the home. Go for fragrant florals and greenery, like eucalyptus, cedar, cinnamon and pine. Eucalyptus is easy to add to any arrangement and gives off a pleasant, minty scent ideal for the winter months. Plus, air scent plugins, candles and potpourri are convenient and inexpensive ways to make your home smell like a winter wonderland.
Create a cozy holiday living room
A cozy living room is a must-have for the holidays, and nothing expresses the seasonal feeling like a decorated fireplace mantel. Traditional stylings may include hung stockings, garlands and ribbons for a pop of color, or you can choose a more modern approach with black ribbons and silver decorations of various sizes for a sophisticated feel. Change out your decorative pillows, bring out the cozy knits and drape a decorative blanket over the sofa to instantly bring warmth to the home.
Stock up on your favorite holiday treats
The most delicious part of the season are the holiday treats. Fill your pantry with anything peppermint, gingerbread or eggnog flavored you can find. Gather the family to decorate a gingerbread house to welcome the season and be sure to have your favorite holiday tunes playing when baking cookies or preparing festive meals.
Festive outdoor displays
From lights synced to music to oversized inflatables, the holidays are a time when you can go all out when it comes to festive outdoor displays. Draw attention with large and lighted decorations. Use LED lights to frame doors, windows and ceilings. Oversized outdoor ornaments, seasonal silhouettes and life-size holiday figures are other options to accent your yard.
DIY holiday décor ideas
Get the family involved and create some DIY seasonal décor. Scroll social media to discover a plethora of ideas, from simple kid-friendly projects to complicated creations for skilled crafters. Build fond holiday memories with the entire family by creating paper ornaments, popsicle stick wreaths or a homemade snow globe.
The holidays are a time to spend with family, loved ones and create lifelong memories. Take some time to plan a festive display that will set the mood this holiday season.
