Holiday Home Refresh: Quick Tips for a Festive Space

The holiday season is a time for gathering with loved ones and creating lasting memories. While grand holiday decorations can be festive, sometimes the most impactful transformations come from subtle changes. Here are a few quick tips to freshen up your home for the holidays:

1. A Fresh Coat of Paint:

• Accent Wall (or ceiling!): Accent walls were so big in the 00s, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be done today. Every home has it’s right solution, and when in doubt, check out the ceiling as an option for some rich color!

• Trim and Doors: A fresh coat of paint on trim and doors can brighten up a space and give it a clean, modern look.

2. Cozy Textiles:

• Throw Blankets: Layer cozy blankets and throws on sofas and chairs for a warm and inviting atmosphere.

• Pillows: Add festive pillows to sofas and beds to bring in holiday cheer. We like to keep it simple by simply putting on a knit pillowcase for some added texture.

• Rugs: Use rugs to define spaces and add warmth to your floors. If you’re going all out with Holiday decor, take this chance to get those off-season items cleaned!

3. Festive Lighting:

• String Lights: Drape string lights around windows, doorways, and banisters for a magical glow.

• Candles: Use candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

• Lanterns: Place lanterns on tables or shelves to add a touch of rustic charm. Our oil lantern gets quite a bit of use this time of year.

4. Natural Elements:

• Fresh Greenery: Incorporate fresh greenery, such as pine branches or eucalyptus, into your decor.

• Dried Flowers: Add a touch of natural beauty with dried flowers or herbs.

By implementing these simple changes, you can create a festive and inviting atmosphere in your home without major renovations. Remember, the goal is to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and ready for the holiday season.
