Holiday Decorating: Choose Color or Style Themes For Maximum Impact
- Gorgeous white and silver tree brings in holiday glamour!
Tabletop vignettes can combine standard and holiday pieces.
- silver and white holiday decor is always classy and elegant!
The key to successful holiday decorating is to stick to a color theme (gold and silver, red and blue, pink and white) or a style theme (musical decorations, childrens’ toys, beach ornaments, an outdoorsy/nature look, etc.) A mish-mash of holiday decorations in every room with scattered vignettes everywhere is generally disconcerting and overwhelming. Feel free to choose different themes for different rooms, but keep each room cohesive in design if you want visitors to get that “ooh-aah” feeling. Another rule of thumb for holiday decor is to cluster the icicles, holiday houses, globes, poinsettias, etc. in a grouping for dramatic effect instead of spreading them out everywhere. Go big or go home! Choose over-sized wreaths, tree toppers, wide garlands, lots of similar lights, and large classic (please not tacky) outdoor decor like giant nutcracker soldiers or lit arborvitae in giant urns over small items that just make a yard and house look cluttered or under-whelming. Think “Frontgate” and you’ll have the right idea.
Hi there,
Great advice and so important to stage your home for the holiday season. Christmas is a great time to dress up your home, make it feel warm and cosy and have the buyers loving your home for a fast sale.
Thanks for the great photos for inspiration.
Best wishes,
Sigrid
Thanks, Sigrid, I have been very negligent in checking for any blog post comments, so my sincere apologies. Staging and decorating take up so much of my time, not to mention social media posting, I forget to check for comments. :>( Glad you liked my photos and happy decorating!
