Spruce Up for the Holidays
The holidays are coming, and the time is here for organizing large gatherings around the table and tree. That’s why it’s important to create a space that has style. Here are a few understated décor ideas that can elegantly transition a space for the holidays and beyond.
Bring the Outdoors In
Literally. The best way to make any home feel spruced up for any season is to grab some seasonal foliage and incorporate it into the décor. This season it’s all about the greenery. Add a few branches of evergreen to a simple, modern candle holder to give it a seasonal spin. Pick up anything you can find outside like pinecones or branches and add them to tabletops, bookshelves and mantles for an unmistakable holiday look. For an extra stunning sparkle, find a light that incorporates the outdoors like a fixture with clear water glass, which mimics a flowing stream when illuminated.
Brighten Up
Nothing says cozy winter nights like candlelight. This effect can be mimicked with lights that feature a candle-like look. Set a calming mood with a romantic glow effect, using soft, muted light set to dim, so the illumination seems to emanate from within.
Add Cozy Texture
Faux fur blankets, velvet pillows and plush woven accents are the perfect way to cozy up in winter. Add a pendant or chandelier to help the feeling of comfort shine down from above.
Let Colors Pop
If a home’s décor meanders toward minimalist, add a pop of color with decorative accents in colors that complement the season. A muted, dark blue or beige adds to the unexpected play on the reds of the season and pairs well with the greenery of holiday style. If there are colorful decorations on a shelf, use tape and channel lighting to augment the accents.
With the right touches and a little bit of love, the holidays can feel full of cheer.
