5 Ways to Maximize Your Christmas Decorations

The holiday season is the perfect time to decorate your home with sparkling lights, wreathes, festive trees, and yard ornaments! To maximize your decorating efforts, consider the following ideas:

Homemade Wreath Decorations

Creating your own lighted wreath is easier than ever! Simply take a short strand of mini-lights and wrap it around a plain wreath. Experiment with the lighting by using multi-colors, clear lights or both. These wreaths can be used  both indoors or outdoors.

Creating A Modern Centerpiece With Classic Holiday Style

Fill a clear glass vase or bowl with round glass ornaments and display it as a festive centerpiece. For Christmas,  combine silver or gold, red and green. When these vibrant colors are paired with the simplistic beauty of a glass holder, the ornaments add a modern flair to this classic color scheme.

Holiday Scents 

A bowl of fresh fruit with tangerines, apples, and oranges provides a pleasant holiday scent to your home. Many find the smell of fresh fruit reminiscent of December because fruit baskets are common gifts given in the holiday season. Place the bowl on your dining room table, in the family room, where guests will be able to appreciate your style

Display Your Christmas Cards

Show off your Christmas cards by creating a hanging decorative piece with felt or fabric! Small safety pins will do just the trick, and will help attach the cards to the fabric, showing the picture on the front of the card. Display this on a wall, a support post, a beam or the railing that leads up your stairs.

Turn Out The Lights

Every night turn off your normal overhead lighting and illuminate your house by lighting the trees and burning candles throughout the house. This will create a peaceful and relaxing setting ideal for a christmas movie night, caroling or just good times with family and friends.
