Simple Tips for Decorating Your Home for the Festive Season

One of the things we look forward to the most about the festive season are the beautiful decorations that light up our streets, shops and towns! If you’d love to bring all the joy and color of Christmas into your home but simply don’t have the time or the budget, then just follow these tips from our real estate company in Dallas.

Start With Your Tree

A Christmas tree is a fantastic focal point for your holiday decorations, so it’s the best place to start. First, pick a spot where every visitor will see it but that’s out of the way of the traffic in your home. This way, it becomes a beautiful focal point without the risk of it getting knocked, bumped into or damaged. One of the best spots for your tree is a corner of your living room – even if you have to rearrange some furniture for it to fit in.

If you want to make a stylish statement without breaking the budget, the best idea is to go for a monochromatic look. Intentional minimalism keeps things simple and striking, and a neutral color won’t clash with the colors already in your space. Silver or gold will always look luxurious and eye-catching!

When you are looking for your tree décor, try to mix up textures and shapes while keeping to your color theme. This creates visual interest that brings your Christmas tree to life. Look for different bulbs, tinsels, strings of beads and lights all within your chosen color palate.

A Christmas Mantle

If you have a fireplace then you are in luck this season! This is a fantastic second focal area for your decorations and really brings a sense of warmth, coziness and festivity to the holidays.

You can go very simple here and achieve a great look. You can buy a garland to hang across the top of your mantle, or even make one yourself. Simply gather sticks and pinecones, spray them with spray paint to match your color scheme, and weave some fresh holly, ivy or pine boughs through it to make a statement piece. Add a few candles (it’s best to use candle lights for safety) and enjoy!

Your Christmas Table

Your dining table is another great focal point, especially if you are planning on entertaining or even hosting dinner on Christmas Day! On tables, simple is best – so it’s perfect if you are on a budget. Simply lay a garland down the middle of your table using evergreen branches and pinecones. You can spray the pinecones gold or silver or simply leave them natural. Dot candles in your theme color through the branches -if you are using real candles and not battery ones, ensure that they are raised well above them to prevent a fire hazard. Add a few leftover baubles from the Christmas tree to pull it all together, and enjoy the beautiful result!
