Keep reading I’m going to share hacks for decorating for Christmas that all Christmas decorators do.
Follow these steps to decorate your home easily this holiday season.
- Pick out a color theme for your Christmas decorations. I always pick out a certain color palette for each room. It doesn’t always have to be the typical red and green. Gold is a huge Christmas color that is being used this year. You can use gold spray paint and spray paint decorations to create a theme. Or create a lot of similar decorations. So think of old decor that you may not want to use this year and give it a makeover. Spray paint it gold and give it a new life!
- Figure out what you want your Christmas Tree to look like. That means do you want a flocked tree, regular green Christmas Tree or do you want a real or fake one? You need to figure out the basics of what you want your tree to look like then you can decide how you want to decorate it.
- Once I have figured out the kind of tree I am having I figure out what kind of decorations I want on my Christmas Tree. Because I decorate my tree different every year I have a very large Christmas ornament collection. I have different themes. In the past I have done a Christmas Winter Wonderland tree where it was dark colors of blue, turquoise, silver, and white. I have done Buffalo plaid where all my tree decor was buffalo plaid, black, and red. I have done a rustic design where I used a lot of wood ornaments, red ornaments, deer ornaments, and anything that reminded me of a rustic feel. This year since we moved on our farm it felt natural to do a cowboy western Christmas Tree so I have been buying Christmas ornaments to fit that design. I can’t wait to share it with you.
- Next tip I want to share with you is look up all the DIY Christmas craft projects and find some of them that you like and make them. You can see 40 of my favorite Christmas crafts HERE. I always try to make some cheap decorations for Christmas each year. That’s something that has saved me a lot over the years is DIY crafts and DIY ornaments. DIY ornaments are so fun to make once you figure out the theme of your tree you can look up some cute DIY ornaments.
- Use little details when decorating for Christmas. If you look at homes the designers have done for the holidays they focus on the little details. It makes such a difference when trying to create a home that looks like a professional Christmas decorator did it. Examples you will want to look for when decorating the little details are..
- Hanging garland on your fireplace or wrapped around a large picture frame
- Using Christmas wreaths inside your home instead of just on the front door – I’ve seen them used on the front of kitchen cabinets, hanging on mirrors or frames, hanging on the pantry door.
- Christmas throw pillows or throw blankets always create a cozy look to your living room or bedroom.
- Don’t forget to decorate your staircase. You can hang garland or berries around the banister.
- Always use pops of color. That’s what this time of year is for. It’s what all the professional Christmas decorators do. You can think of all the places you can use pops of color. Whether that is putting colorful ornaments inside a glass jar as a centerpiece, berries or bows on the pine garland, or colorful wreaths.
