We love to bring the Christmas spirit into the bedroom. Not only can Christmas trees and wreaths be used outside, but it's also possible to use them in one's own room.
These are some of the best ways to make your home festive for the holidays, from rich reds to nostalgic touches and even yuletide scents.
For many of us, it's hard to start putting up Modern Christmas decorations. But with a little thought and some preparation, you can have a warm & welcoming home that smells like pine trees.
Here are some simple decorating ideas to get into the holiday spirit without making a big investment or taking a lot of time. Our top picks will evoke the feel of the holidays without breaking your bank account or staying up late for weeks to clean everything.
1: Add Christmas colors to your bedroom with a custom bedhead
One of the easiest ways to make your bedroom feel more festive around Christmas is by choosing a color scheme that gets you into the holiday mood.
While the traditional red and green may be an obvious choice, adding a few more colors will make it something different. Especially considering they help elevate your bedroom all year round.
2. Create a Seasonal Wreath
To decorate for the season, it’s easy to find Thanksgiving wreaths that can be reused over and over. Stuff yours with pine cones, lush foliage, fruit, or beautiful flowers to create a custom piece. Use universal decorations and add small pieces of Christmas as the holidays get closer.
If you need any decorations for the fall or winter, colorful leaves or small pumpkins could add to the ambiance. However, if you're looking for something festive with Halloween and Christmas, candy canes, snowflakes, or red berries will do the trick!
3: Choose Colors Carefully
When decorating for Thanksgiving and Christmas at the same time, use red and green together after Thanksgiving. Red and green are traditionally the only Christmas colors so that they can stand out against all your neutral fall decorations.
By choosing neutral tones like gold, silver, brown, and beige, you can decorate for any holiday and make it easy to transition your home's decor.
Earthy colors are great for all occasions, and metallic shades are ideal for all holidays. It's so simple to adjust your home with these colors!
4: Accent with Buffalo Check
To compliment your home decor, use black and white buffalo check in some easy ways by adding these small accents like throw pillows/blankets or even a runner on the table.
The neutral colors and classic plaid design make this rug perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas decorating. Great look in any home!
5: Craft a Centerpiece
A centerpiece is perfect for getting your guests in the holiday spirit. Use greenery, candles, and neutral decorations in your centerpiece. Make sure you also have a runner or mirror to allow for presentation! You can place candlesticks in candle holders or use tea light candles to add a soft glow to your dining ambiance.
Use garland made from grapevine evergreens, pine, eucalyptus, or succulents to drape around the candles. Mind the greenery and colors you choose.
With the help of metallic finishes and natural touches, your holiday parties are sure to be entertaining. Sprinkle in little accents of fall or Christmas, such as small pumpkins or gourds, berries or fruit, or sparkly ornaments. Your guests will thank you!
6: Sprinkle in Ornaments
Decorating with ornaments can be more than a Christmas thing. Select neutral ornaments with different styles, shapes, and finishes to fill vases and bowls. Avoid decorating with red and green ornaments when there is no Christmas theme.
Sometimes it can take effort to find the perfect holiday decoration. You want something festive but not too overbearing.
Consider using blue, silver, white gold, or even rose gold ornaments for a unique decoration that blends into any home decor. Hang them with garland and candles (or just solitary on your mantel), from curtain rods, or light fixtures for an elegant.
You can use ornaments that feature winter-themed decorations like snowflakes to make your displays last all year round.
7: Put Up Your Tree
We know how this sounds, but let's remember the true meaning of Thanksgiving while also celebrating Christmas. Simply put up and decorate your tree, but leave off any ornaments or lights.
Instead of trimming the tree, leave it in its natural form or use pine cones. Add sleek Christmas lights if you want to celebrate. Once the holidays have passed, use shiny ornaments to make it look more festive.
8: Light It Up with Lanterns & Candles
Candles bring a cozy ambance to any room. Whether you put it in the living room, dining room, or bedroom, a candle is perfect for you! With different scents and pictures of holidays, candles can be perfect for any setting.
Flameless LEDs are the perfect way to create a cozy atmosphere without risking fire and worrying about where you put your candle's flame.
Lanterns are a traditional decoration, perfect for all occasions. Using a battery-operated candle, you can cover the lantern with evergreen and tie a bow on top of it to create your own lighted holiday piece that can be used year-round.
9: Decorate a Bench
To welcome your guests at home, put some pinecones and a large evergreen bough on a bench on your front porch. This can look even more festive by adding metallic outdoor ornaments.
10: Use Glass for Visual Interest
Mercury glass, colored glass, or clear glass can be used to display candles or decorate for the holidays. Fill a vase with ornaments and place it on your mantelpiece. Various shapes, sizes, and colors can be used to express your style.
11 Enhance with Burlap
Dress up jars, vases, place settings & tables with burlap. The neutral brown color is perfect for fall and winter occasions and adds a rustic accent to your holiday decor.
Layers of burlap combine well with lace, table runners, ribbons, etc., creating the perfect look for any party. Wrap a layer of burlap around the base of a small Christmas tree to add rustic charm to Thanksgiving or Christmas decorations.
Conclusion
Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up - and if you have the decorations to last from Nov through Jan, your decorating time is cut in half! Why spend time away from your festive, decorated home when you can enjoy family time comfortably
