Ho Ho Ho, Christmas is coming! Are you ready?
Have you put up your tree yet?
Here are some tips on how to decorate your home for Christmas:
1. De-clutter! We all know that de-cluttering is the 1st step to making room for your beautiful Christmas tree and decorations
2. Choose a theme. Decide on which colors you want to go with. Do you like the traditional colors like red, green, gold and blue? Or do you want to be brave and steer away from the traditonal and go with pinks or all white? Which ever you decide, we’re sure it will be spectacular!
3. Decide placement. Do you have a large room or a small room for your tree? If you have a fireplace, you may opt to place your tree next to it.
4. Choose a couple of wall decorations, maybe hang then vertically by your tree 😉
5. Choose a nice cozy throw for your sofa, and maybe add a Christmas pillow or two.
6. Don’t forget about a wreath. Wreaths are not only great for the front door, but they can be added indoors for that special look.
7. Rugs. If you have room for an area rug in your living room, this will make a huge impact. You can also add Christmas themed rugs in your kitchen and bath.
The Table
For those of us that love to celebrate Christmas meals with our friends and family, a nicely decorated table is a must. Even if it’s as simple as a few candles and a little greenery.
