4 Creative Holiday Decorating Ideas
Nov 24th 2020
The holidays. It’s a time to reflect, give thanks, and express ourselves through creative holiday décor. From Thanksgiving to Christmas to Hanukah, there’s no shortage of events to celebrate, and endless options for how to decorate your home this year. Read on to discover some fun ideas that’ll give your home plenty of cozy cheer.
1. Play with greeneryChristmas trees in the living room and door wreaths are beloved traditions for many families—but holiday greenery can pop up in other creative places, like your kitchen or even your staircase. When serving Thanksgiving dinner, you can create place cards by wrapping sprigs of rosemary into small wreaths and tying a name tag onto each one for a personal touch.
One creative way to add some Hanukah greenery is to build a Star of David out of holiday foliage. This offers a unique piece of décor that’s very eye-catching.
2. Offer warm written greetingsThe holidays are a time to offer seasons’ greetings—but you don’t have to limit those to spoken words. Why not write your favorite Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Hanukah quote on a roll of butcher paper and hang it from your wall like an old-fashioned scroll?
If you prefer not to write out your greetings, you can still purchase some professionally made signs that celebrate the season and display them around the house. These include artwork, prints, photos, and even throw pillows that can offer a heartfelt greeting to someone who needs it the most.
3. Fill your home with holiday scentsYour holiday décor doesn’t have to be limited to what you see. People also like experiencing the holidays by what they smell. Simmer some holiday potpourri in your house. If you enjoy lighting candles, place scented candles around your home to fill your space with the scents of pumpkin, apple, spice, and other cozy aromas.
Citrus fruits also add a very welcome holiday aroma, and provide an attractive addition to your décor. Add tiny oranges and lemons to your flower arrangements. Place citrus fruits strategically on your mantel display, letting them offer a festive look and smell of this time of year.
4. Turn your doorways into works of artWalls and dining tables get plenty of attention during the holiday, but aside from a traditional wreath on your front door, the rest of your doors don’t receive much focus. Why not show your doors a little more love this year by lining the inside of your doors with a festive garland or a string of lights?
You can also wrap your doors in ribbons, place mini trees against your front stoop, or, if you’re looking for something both functional and fashionable, invest in a barn door that will give your entire space a rustic charm that’s ideal for the holidays. Barn doors slide back and forth against your walls, giving you more control over how you can use and decorate your space. Their stylish design makes them popular with guests and easy to decorate over the holidays.
