Decorating your home for the holidays is one way to get into the festive spirit and there is a multitude of ways to deck the halls, so here are a few ideas to keep in mind.

Pick the right Christmas tree

Whether you’re putting up a live or fake Christmas tree in your home, you should make sure that you have the height you need to put it up.  If you don’t, you could end up with a tree that reaches the ceiling and won’t have room for a Christmas topper.  Uh-oh!

When looking for a home, you may want to consider where you would put seasonal decorations like a Christmas tree. This ensures that you have adequate space to decorate your home the way you envision.  While you could put a Christmas tree in the corner, it would make a grand display to have it illuminated in a window that could be admired from all angles.

Choose a color palette

There are many different color options to choose from for holiday decorations; red, green, gold, or silver. For a cohesive appearance, you may want to only consider choosing one color to showcase throughout your home.

You can also choose accent colors based on the main color. For example, you may want to choose accent colors like mint green or sand if you choose red as your main decorating color.

Hang a wreath on the front door

Your front door often makes the first impression, so give it some holiday cheer with a decorative wreath. The bigger the wreath, the more festive it will make your home look and feel.

A traditional wreath can be a pine wreath covered in red berries, decorative ribbons, and frosted snow. However, you will want to pick a wreath with a contrasting color to your front door. This will help make it stand out and be noticeable to your neighbors.

Wreaths aren’t exclusive to front doors though. You may want to hang them inside your home or over the windows for an extra festive vibe.

Hang indoor lights

Lights aren’t just for decorating the tree or lining the roofline of your home. You can give your home a cozy environment by draping lights along the doors and entryway. For a natural touch, you may also want to hang garlands with the lights.

You can also incorporate lights into your home by adding mini decorated trees, fairy lights in mason jars, or creating a ceiling of twinkling lights. The possibilities truly are endless.
