The holiday season is the perfect time to make your home feel warm, festive, and welcoming.
Whether you’re looking for minimalism, grandeur, or something in between, there are simple ways to bring the spirit of the season into your home.

Embrace Simplicity and Elegance

Go for a Smaller Tree:
Slim-profile trees are great for corners or narrow spaces, so you can enjoy the full holiday experience without overwhelming your living area. If space is tight, even a tabletop tree can add festive charm.

Focus on Key Spaces:
Choose a few central spots to decorate, like your entryway, dining area, and living room. A wreath on the door, a table centerpiece, and some cozy throws or pillows can go a long way.
Just highlight the areas that will give you the most joy.

Maximize Functionality:
A festive bowl of pinecones or a few candles can serve as a beautiful accent and create a cozy atmosphere. Consider using holiday-themed linens or tableware that can be easily stored after the season is over.

Keep it Clutter-Free:
Minimalism can be just as festive. Select your decorations carefully to avoid clutter. A well-placed string of lights or a small collection of ornaments will enhance the space without overwhelming it.
The key is creating an elegant, relaxing environment that feels like home.

Fill Your New Home with Holiday Cheer

Choose a Tree that Fits Your Space:
In a larger home, you can go for a bigger tree, but be mindful of the room size. A full-sized tree can make a statement in the living room, or consider a smaller tree for entryways, dining rooms, or even a corner of the kitchen. Personalize your tree with ornaments that reflect your style—this could mean a theme that’s traditional, modern, or something whimsical.

Create a Consistent Theme:
Consider sticking to a cohesive color palette or theme. Whether you prefer classic reds, greens, and golds, or modern metallics and neutrals, keeping your décor consistent throughout your space will tie everything together. You can carry your theme across your tree, mantle, dining table, and even your front porch.

Add Holiday Details to Every Room:
Add a wreath to your front door, put up garlands or stockings on your mantel, and deck out the dining table with festive linens or a holiday centerpiece. If you have a fireplace, be sure to create a cozy and welcoming spot with candles and festive accents.

Invest in a Few Long-Term Décor Pieces:
Invest in quality decorations like a beautiful wreath, a nice set of tree ornaments, or decorative throw blankets and pillows that can be reused year after year. These items become traditions that make the holidays feel even more special.



Make Your Larger Space Shine

Embrace a Larger Tree:
With more room, you can opt for a taller or more expansive tree. Whether you choose a 7-9 foot tree or even a multi-tree arrangement, a big, beautiful tree can become the focal point of your home. Think about the height and placement, ensure your tree doesn’t overwhelm the space, and consider pairing it with large, statement ornaments that can fill up the space without looking too crowded.

Highlight Different Areas:
In a larger home, it’s easy to forget about decorating certain rooms. Make sure to carry the holiday spirit throughout your home by decorating different areas. You can have a tree in the living room, but also add small trees, wreaths, or garlands in hallways, bedrooms, and even bathrooms. This makes the entire house feel festive.

Focus on Statement Pieces:
Think large holiday centerpieces for your dining table, oversized stockings on the mantle, or beautiful holiday-themed wall art. Add dimension by layering decorations at different heights, such as placing candles, festive jars, or bowls of ornaments on coffee tables, console tables, and mantels.

Invest in Large-Scale Decor:
In a larger space, smaller decorations might get lost. Consider larger pieces like a grandiose tree skirt, oversized garlands, or a large wreath for the front door. These décor items will fill up the space, making your home feel more festive and balanced.
