Entertaining is a huge part of the holiday season. Prep your home with these fun holiday décor ideas and dining accessories.
Make your home shine from the outside in. Prior to decorating, blast away the dirt and grime from the summer and fall months with a pressure wash. Expert services, like those offered by CertaPro Painters of Winston-Salem, can have your home looking brand new in no time. A power washing gives you a blank slate to work with. Then, create a beautiful holiday landscape in your yard to match the season. Incorporate festive holiday lighting and decorative wreaths and floral arrangements. Make sure you don’t forget about window décor. Light up your windows this holiday season with festive lit wreaths or cute holiday figurines set on your windowsill.
Find festive tableware. Whether you choose to use paper plates or your fancy china this holiday season, make sure to break out the festive set! If you’re on a budget, you can find all kinds of holiday themed tableware are your local dollar store if you’re on a budget. If you’re looking for something simpler, use your existing china with a few touches of holiday spirit. Tie silverware sets together with holly bush. Create a wintery centerpiece of evergreen branches. Fill glass candle holders with faux cranberries and holly leaves. Creating an inviting and festive table spread for the holidays just requires a little imagination!
Warm up the hearth. Your fireplace is a focal point in your home, especially throughout the holiday season. Traditional holiday decorations like stockings, garland, and wreaths look great arranged around the hearth. If you have a fireplace, be sure to prep wood to burn in time for the winter season. Feeling creative? Instead of burning wood, burn candles! Incorporate various heights of candles into your fireplace display for an elegant look.
Pair holiday décor with wall color. Don’t fight your existing interior color. If you’re home is full of neutral colors, you can play with pops of color in your holiday décor or pair vintage ornaments with the neutral palette. Use warm colored ornaments if your wall color is a deep, rich color. Conversely, use bright, playfully colored ornaments if your interior color is on the cooler side of the color spectrum. When the time comes, wrap your gifts in colors and patterns that will match your décor!
