 Holiday décor usually consists of items we’ve accumulated over the years, things that we may hold dear or have some type of sentimental attachment because they remind us of someone or sometime special in our life. And even if you have a large amount of holiday decorations stored up, you can always find room for just a few more.
Since trends for the holidays change from year to year it’s nice to add to your decorations even if they are some small items. You may not realize how long you actually have had some of your holiday decor and there is no better time to jazz up your motif with the newest trendy items on the market. Here is a great example; a few years back icicle lights were all the rage and everyone was using them on the exterior part of their homes. Everywhere you looked while driving through neighborhoods were home after home of the same old icicle light motif. Well since that faze seems to have passed you will still see a few houses with icicle lighting but for the most part people have reverted back to the traditional strand lighting but the colors have changed with the trends. You can now find red, blue, purple and green light strands, just to name a few. Now the trick is when you do decide on your color or theme of lights you should try to stay with just one color; you don’t want to mix too many colors unless you are doing multi-colored strands. There might be a few exceptions to this rule since I like to decorate my outdoor wreaths with a different color to stand out. I use green lights on my outdoor wreaths over my garage façade lights so they stand out between all of my other decorations.
Your holiday décor should start coming out on display during the holiday months, some people like to start putting up their displays before Halloween but to not over-consume yourself with the holidays it’s a good idea to wait until after Thanksgiving. Many retail stores have their decorations up before Halloween so I use that time to get ideas on newer decorations that have come out and purchase some items that will coincide with my already existing décor. You could always use a few more ornaments on your Christmas tree, or a nice idea is to have different sets of decorations that you can alternate from year to year so that you do not become bored with your design. Choose items that are interchangeable, whether it is stockings, centerpieces, accent candles or a color motif. If you have a main color in your design then change it up with a different focal color and it will appear as though you redesigned your entire holiday décor.
No matter what your design choices may be, as long as you show some sort of festive holiday décor, you are bound to make everyone who comes to your home feel the jovial warmth and bliss of the holiday season.
