Decking the Halls: How to Decorate Your Home for the Holidays in Style

The holiday season comes but once a year, so you want to make it count! It’s the time of year when people come together to celebrate friendship and family. It’s a time to reflect on the past year and look to the upcoming year with joyful optimism. It’s also one of the few opportunities to decorate your entire house in seasonal attire!

Decorating is one of the best parts of the holidays. From hanging lights on the windows to making homemade wreaths for the doors, this time of year offers the excuse to turn your home into a cozy, winter wonderland cottage for a few weeks. And the best part about decorating for the holidays is that you don’t even have to celebrate Christmas — you just need a love for jingling bells and sparkling lights! We’ve put together a list of inspirational home decorating ideas for the festive season.

These are a Few of My Favourite Things: Rose and Cream Details

You might have family decorations that have been in your family for years, but if you’re looking to modernize your holiday décor this year, consider a rose and cream palette. Rose and cream are hot colours right now in the design world, and they’re also calming and reminiscent of a sunny, wintery day. Look for artificial garland strands at your local craft store in shades of warm pink and cream. Add a couple of soft-toned stockings to your mantle. You’ll have a pastel dreamy winter landscape right inside your home.

You Would Even Say It Glows: Window Fairy Lights

Nothing says festive like a beautifully-decorated window. Are you tired of putting up the usual lights that you’ve had since the 1990s? You might want to consider a lighting style that’s a bit more modern that involves minimal work. All you have to do with fairy lights is find your preferred style (for example, twinkling, white, or multi-coloured), and then hang them from the inside of your windowpanes so that they’re visible to the outside. Search for fairy lights online or at any home improvement or decoration store. You don’t want your lovely lights to highlight old, shoddy windows. Ensure that your windows are in good shape and can withstand the lights for long periods. Shine your holiday lights on Casa Bella Windows & Doors products— a company that manufactures and installs high-quality, durable windows.

The Holly and the Ivy: Homemade Wreath

If you’re a crafty person or want to learn how to be, consider making a festive wreath from scratch. There are countless online tutorials available, or you could contact a local gardening or flower shop that offers online craft courses. You’ll need tools such as a hot glue gun, scissors, and a few glue sticks. You can find the spruce, holly, or whichever greenery you choose in a wooded area or at your local garden centre. With a homemade wreath, your house will smell like a refreshing winter forest all season long.

This festive season, turn your home into a bright and jolly paradise with these simple tips. You’ll love everything so much; you won’t want to take anything down when the holidays end!
