When the seasons begin to transition from fall to winter<\/a>, you know it\u2019s time to dress the entire\nhome into something more toasty and comfy. While a holiday makeover sounds like\nit\u2019s a lot of work to pull off in a very short amount of time, it doesn\u2019t have\nto be stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to make it perfect and you can always decorate on a budget<\/a>. What\u2019s important is that you capture the holiday spirit the way you know how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, here are six tips to help you get started if you\u2019re feeling a little overwhelmed about making your home merry and bright this holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Declutter and Deep Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you begin decorating\nyour entire home for the holidays, it\u2019s always a good idea to declutter and\nclean everything first. If there are any items that you haven\u2019t used in the\npast year, you can either toss them, sell them, or donate them. Doing this will\nhelp you organize more effectively and decorate more easily as there\u2019s less\nstuff in the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After, you can do a thorough\ncleaning of your house to give it a fresh and pristine look right before you\nstart creating a more festive atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come Up with a Simple Yet Festive Color Palette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to have a\nconsistent and cohesive look all over your home is to choose one or two festive\naccent colors and find a way to incorporate those in your decor. Think ribbons,\npatterned pillows, scented candles, fluffy blankets, and even your family\u2019s\nChristmas stockings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can go for the traditional\nChristmas colors like the ever-present green and red pairing, or you can switch\nit up by mixing in hues from the same color families. For a more elevated and\nmodern twist of this classic Christmas combination, try burgundy and\nchartreuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also do something\ncompletely different such as white and brown, black and gold, and blush and\ncopper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Warmth and Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make your home a little more inviting this holiday season by burning some wood-scented candles. Opt for warm, dim lighting to give an ambiance of coziness. Another way to make your house feel warm is through textures so bust out those chunky knits and velvets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep guests comfy and warm with fleece throw pillows and blankets. You can also rearrange your furniture so that it faces your Christmas tree or fireplace. This can become the perfect gathering spot for the whole family and your guests as you enjoy some winter entertainment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less is More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the holiday season is\nknown for its extravagance, you really don\u2019t have to overwhelm yourself and\nyour house with way too much decor and the price tag that comes with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many decorations will only\nresult in every single one of them competing for attention, making it all look\nchaotic and cluttered. As with anything that involves home styling, keep it as\nsimple as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with store-bought materials and ornaments, especially if you don\u2019t have time to hand-knit your pillowcases and tree skirts. You can make inexpensive ornaments look elegant and festive just by grouping them together or arranging them in unique ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you\u2019ve collected more ornaments than you can count over the years, it\u2019s the best time to use them. Place your spare multicolored balls and bulbs in apothecary jars or clear, decorative bowls of varying heights and use them in different areas of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Include a Touch of Fragrant Greenery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aside from what you can see and\nwhat you can touch, another way to bring out a festive and wintry mood is\nthrough the sense of smell. Add a natural touch to your home with fragrant greenery\nsuch as boxwood cuttings, freshly cut white hydrangeas, and evergreen sprigs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your dinner table, you can\nadd fresh holly and a few magnolia leaves to napkin rings or place cards. If\nyou don\u2019t have resources for these around you, a scented candle or a DIY\nholiday potpourri will do the trick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Forget the Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to get caught up in\nall the decorations and themes of the inside of your house, but don\u2019t forget to\nmatch it all up outside as well. Whatever your aesthetic vision is for your\ninterior styling should reflect on your home\u2019s exterior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially important if\nyou have huge windows that will peek into your home. The decorations inside\nshould tie well into what you have on your front porch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can test this out easily by\nstanding in your yard and seeing how it all comes together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a warm and cozy\natmosphere through home styling isn\u2019t an easy task, but it shouldn\u2019t give you an\noverload of stress. After all, this time of the year is about getting to see\nthe people you love and having a great time together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, take a deep breath as you\nmake your home more festive and inviting for the ones who matter and enjoy the\nprocess. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
