- Holiday
bows are a quick way to spruce up many areas of your home. Coordinate
a holiday-patterned ribbon with your home's decor. Look for bolts of
ribbon that contain at least a little of the main color in your home
or colors that complement the current color
scheme. If you can't find the perfect pattern, metallic silver or
gold ribbon will work with almost any decor.
- Tie bows to candlesticks, wreaths, garlands and basket handles.
- Use bows as drapery tiebacks to decorate your window treatments.
- Put bows on banisters, chair backs, houseplants and even door knobs to help decorate each room in the house.
-
Bring the
holiday china out of storage. Use your holiday pattern every day. If
you don't have a holiday pattern, start a collection this year. Now
you know the answer to "What do you want for Christmas?"
- Ornaments
aren't only for trees.
- Hang
ornaments in the windows or over the top of lampshades with red
ribbons.
- Hang
ornaments from your houseplants and artificial/real trees. Too avoid
damage, don't hang ornaments that are too heavy from the branches/stems
of your plants and trees.
- Place
candles in every room of your home and light them each evening. The
warm glow will warm your heart.
Safety
Note: If you have small children, lit candles aren't appropriate
due to the risk of fire. Don't leave a lit candle unattended.
- Hang an
artificial or fresh wreath
on the front door, the back door, over the mantle or in all your front
windows. Use bows, pinecones, ornaments or hard wrapped candy to decorate
them.
- Wrap fresh
or artificial garlands
around banisters and mirrors. Drape the garland across the mantle and
add holiday ornaments for a delightful display.
- Add holiday
color to every room in your home with a poinsettia. Poinsettias
are available in white, red and pink. Create an entry hall display.
Circle your holiday tree with poinsettias. Add one on each end of your
dining room sideboard. A small poinsettia is perfect for bathrooms and
the guest room.
- Nothing
says it's time for the holidays like the classics. Fill the the air
with sounds of Bing Crosby, Burl Ives and Brenda Lee to bring back memories
of holidays past.
- Dust off
your childhood winter holiday storybooks or purchase new ones and decorate
the coffee table. You'll be amazed at how many adults will enjoy flipping
through them.
- To complete
your room's accessories, use holiday throw pillows to decorate your
couch and chairs.
