Creating Holiday Ready Homes
Embracing the Holidays
With November behind us, the holiday season is officially in full swing! This means building snowmen, hanging holiday lights, putting up the tree, and inviting your friends and family into your home. While holiday festivities are exciting, making sure your home is ready for your guests this season can cause a little bit of a panic. However, we hope to reduce this stress by giving you our top design tips for creating holiday ready homes this season. Read on to learn more!
Tip 1: Prioritize
When things start to feel overwhelming, the best thing you can do is take things one step at a time. This same concept can (and should!) be applied when creating holiday ready homes. That is why our first tip is to prioritize each room in your house and start designing there. For example, if you are having family and friends stay over, your top priority will be the guest bedroom. Adding festive comforters, blankets, and throw pillows is an excellent way to add a little cheer to your guest bedroom! You can even add classic decor pieces to nightstands and dressers like miniature Christmas trees, standing ornaments, snowmen, and more. In addition to making your guest bedroom holiday ready, you can make it a relaxation haven for guests by adding our Duette® Honeycomb Shades to your windows. Complete with both room-darkening and sound absorbing features, these Hunter Douglas shades are an excellent addition to any bedroom.
Tip 2: Keep it Simple
When it comes to creating holiday ready homes, the pressure might be on to create an elaborate winter wonderland. However, you can create a festive home that makes guests feel merry and bright by following our second tip: keep it simple when it comes to accents and decor! For example, your dining room will most likely see a lot of traffic if you are hosting Christmas dinner this year. Placing a red, green, silver, or gold tablecloth over your dining room table is a simple way to give the space a festive upgrade. You can even add tablecloths with a fun pattern like Santas, snowmen, or gingerbread men! Complete the look by adding a classic centerpiece with holly, pine, and tall candles. And that’s it! Your dining room is looking like a holiday movie without any extraneous effort.
Conclusion
When it comes to creating holiday ready homes, you might feel a little overwhelmed at first. However, but starting with one room at a time and keeping decor simple, you can *sleigh* the holiday decorating season.
