Merry Christmas from my home to yours! If you had me help you put out all of your Christmas decor this year, you already experienced some of my tips. For anyone looking for ideas, I thought I would share a few.
1. You can create a simple centerpiece with miscellaneous greenery, pretty ornaments, and a platter from the kitchen.
2. Use existing items, like your books, to create layers, background, and scale to your smaller accessories.
3. You don't need to remove all of your existing accessories. Layer a holiday picture book, a wreath or greenery to your display, and then the attention changes from your old to the new.
4. Try to find common ground when grouping your many little decorations. The little wooden Santa's, for example, sure look cute in front of the wood carved platter.
5. You don't need everything out for display every year. Pick a collection of your favorite pieces and know it might change from year to year. It's ok. It keeps things feeling fresh.
6. Edit, edit, edit! Holiday decor goes from beautiful to crazy so fast! (Some of you may be going for that whimsical over the top holiday cheer. That's ok, too!)
Enjoy! The best part of helping clients get their home ready for the holidays is that universal smile I see when finished. It leaves me with that warm holiday cheer.
