Holly
How do you decorate for the holidays? Do you decorate with red and green? Maybe you like blue and white, or you’re someone who likes lots of colors and shiny things. Whichever you choose you want a theme, something that will tie everything together and make it one cohesive design. The following are a few ideas to help you keep your interior design and holiday decorating stylish and uniform.
Snowmen
Winter doesn’t just mean Christmas, New Year’s, Hanukkah and other holidays. Winter brings snow and snowmen; these are great decorating tools and themes to use in your home that will last throughout winter. Using colors like white, blue, silver, and purple will create an effect that can last all season long. You can even create your own snowmen using holiday ornaments or foam balls from the grass store. Decorate these however you would like using colors that you choose.
Gingerbread
Gingerbread is another great theme to use during the holiday season. Gingerbread warms up the cool tones of winter and allows you to bring in the warm colors that make your home feel like a home. You don’t have to stick with baking gingerbread and decorating your house with food. You can find great gingerbread ceramics in stores and online, these will create the same effect and bring in the same warmth as making it yourself. You can of course get crafty and make your own gingerbread decor in your own oven.
A Desert Holiday
When you think about the holidays, most people don’t think about the desert. But, if you know the true Christmas story you know that Jesus was born in the desert. So why not use camels, sand, palm trees and other desert items to create your holiday theme. Adding holiday lights, some Christmas Holly, and a few other traditional items, could help tie the desert theme to your Christmas decor.
Bright Colors
For some people Christmas is all about fun and whimsy. Using bright colors like blue, orange and lime green is starting to be a huge trend. You can make this work by only picking a few colors and not using every color of the rainbow. If you’re not sure what would work together look at flowers and choose those colors that are on the same flower. Green by the way goes with everything!
I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?
