Decorating for Christmas is no easy feat. Sure, you could snag a Christmas tree and throw some ornaments on it; however, many have loftier ambitions for their Christmas decor. They want their homes to be thoroughly decked out with Christmas cheer. Whether you’re planning to buy new decor, spruce up old favourites, or DIY some handmade stuff, here are some pro-Christmas decor tips to help you as you prepare for the season’s celebration.

Declutter Before Decorating

Resist the urge to display all the decor pieces you have. Keep the focus on your favourites. You will likely get highly excited during this time of the year and want to get everything out of storage for display. Feel free to declutter as you decorate. If the item is broken, junky, or outdated, toss it out. Try as much as you can to stick with the pieces you love, are proud of, or have real sentimental value.

Decorate Your Window With a Wreath

Add a pop of colour by hanging a wreath in every window. Nothing beats the charm of a simple wreath on every window. You can illuminate the wreath with a sleek candle or add red ribbons as a finishing touch.

Decorate Your Bedroom With a Garland

Your bedroom might not be the first spot you think to decorate during this holiday season, but since it is where you start and end each day, it deserves its holiday cheer. So add a pop of festivity by hanging a garland above your bed, mounting it on your wall, or draping it along your headboard, or you can use it to dress up the bed shelf.

Commit to Just a Few Focal Points

Contrary to popular belief, you can craft a stunning space without loading up on decor. So, commit to just a few focal points and keep the decor around them relatively sparse. Make sure to avoid buying too much and cluttering the entire space. If everything is too much, nothing gets a chance to shine. It’s just like an overly bright room; you can’t even open your eyes to see how bright it is. Give the guest’s eyes a chance to appreciate the decor.

Make Your Hello Scream of Festivity

Your front door is the first thing a person will see when visiting your home. So, make sure it sets the tone for your holiday décor scheme. One easy way to do this is to purchase a wondrous wreath. You can adorn it with a bow, outfit it with bells, or cover it in berry sprays.
