3 Tips For Decorating For Christmas

1. Stick to a color palette

2. Choose staple pieces

3. Invest where you can

These 3 tips above are tips that I swear by when decorating for the holidays. The first tip is sticking to a color palette. Choose a color palette and stay with it. Choose one that compliments your everyday home decor and take that color scheme throughout the entirety of your house. There are so many Christmas decorating themes you can choose from including traditional Christmas color palettes, neutral Christmas decor, and more! Choose the one that feels right to you! I have a whole post on the best neutral Christmas decor ideas you can read here!

The next tip is choose staple pieces. Choosing staple pieces you can use time and time again will save you money in the long run. Choose Christmas decor pieces you really love that you know you’ll want to use again next year! When it comes to decorating for Christmas your staple decor pieces will be your main focus and you’ll only need to buy a few new Christmas decor items each year to keep things fresh and exciting! And yes, it is okay to buy some new Christmas decor each year… it’s too much not to! Don’t deprive yourself of that small luxury!

The last tip is to invest where you can! Investing in certain Christmas decor items will help save you major bucks! Investing in decor pieces that will last for years to come is smart finically. Invest in the larger Christmas decor items like your Christmas tree, or slightly more expensive garland, or Christmas china. Investing your money in the good, larger items that you know will be used year after year is much wiser than spending a lot of money on smaller Christmas decor. Because you will probably decide you don’t like it and want to change it up the next holiday season!

3 Ways To Add Christmas Touches To Your Home

1. Decorate with Christmas throw pillows and blankets

Adding small Christmas touches like decorative throw pillows and blankets is a perfect way to add some Christmas cheer into your home! Adding Christmas throw pillows and blankets is also a cheap way to decorate your home for the holiday season!

I like placing a decorative holiday pillow in my living room and on benches in my dining room and kitchen areas. A holiday decorating tip I swear by is choosing pillows and blankets that can easily be used throughout the entire season of winter, not just Christmas time!

2. How to add Christmas touches: Add red berry stems to each of your greenery and vases

Another super simple and super affordable way to add some Christmas touches throughout the entirety of your home is by swapping out your flowers in your vases for some red berries!

Red berry stems are so cheap and really do look pretty displayed in a vase! You save money by using a vase you already have. All you have to do is add the stems to your existing design and you have another easy way to decorate your house for Christmas!

3. Ways to add Christmas touches: Utilize garland

Another simple way to add Christmas touches throughout your home is to utilize garland. Christmas garland is a staple Christmas decor piece that is easy to decorate with and can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used on your mantle, as a table runner, on your stair banisters, or wrap it around a mirror or door frame.

Garland has a wide range of prices as well. Garland in particular is a great example of how you can save or splurge on Christmas decorations. If you decide you want to invest in garland that you plan to use year after year then you might decide to splurge on expensive ones.

If you choose to save money on this particular Christmas decor item you might opt for a much more affordable option. Decide what Christmas decorations are most important to you and do what is right for your budget!
