Holiday Home Decor

It's That Time Of Year

With Thanksgiving a week away I've talked to more people this year that already have their Christmas tree trimmed!  Years ago we made it a tradition when we got together on Thanksgiving to decorate the tree and I thought then that it was a bit early.  Well, this year I plan on decorating my tree and home for the holidays this weekend.  I'm not waiting until Thanksgiving as it seems I am always rushed.  (Guess I am beginning to show my age here) but I want to enjoy the holidays this year! 

Besides the focal point, the Christmas tree, of course, there are other holiday decorations that have really taken off over the last couple years.  The Totum Pole Snowman is a great accent piece and brings a smile to everyone that sees it.  It is festive and jolly and fits it with almost any holiday decor.  I don't know many people that do not like snowmen but in case you are one of them there are also gift boxes, angels, reindeer among a few that all light up similar to the photo shown.

Another way to bring the holiday cheer into your home is with accent rugs and are available in almost any style and design imaginable and if carefully planned can really emphasize the beauty of your flooring.  Christmas rugs are a great way for you to bring your decorations at all levels including the floor, which, is an area many people exclude when decorating for the holidays.  I will warn you now though once you place a rug or two around your home this season, you'll wonder why you never used them before. 

A really simple and low cost decoration idea I use, and one of my girls favorites is to wrap the pictures I have hanging on my walls with Christmas gift wrap that coordinates with my other decor.  

Placing a few hand towels in the bath is inexpensive and carries the holiday decor throughout your home and can easily be paired with a festive liquid soap pump.

To welcome guests you will receive over the holidays consider adding a coir mat at your front door, not only does it look good it helps keep the dirt and grime out and reminds your guests to wipe their feet.

Decorating for the holidays does not have to be a major chore and one you dread and it certainly does not have to be expensive.  By adding a few pieces at various heights you'll be able to enjoy your holiday decorations at various levels.  

Now it is time for you to turn on your favorite holiday music and start decorating.

If you have any decorating ideas that someone else may enjoy or a way to take the stress out of decorating please post a comment.

How about lighting up the pathway or entrance to your frontdoor with some solar pathway lights. You can still enjoy the lights after the holidays are gone.

Christmas is now fast approaching. I know that everyone of us is busy preparing and installing Christmas decors at our home. We can even do some recycling in making some Christmas stuffs.
