It’s the holidays! No matter what holiday you celebrate this season, the holidays are a festive time. Besides the wonderful food and precious family time, this is the season where people go all out to decorate their homes to fill each room (inside and out) with the spirit of the season.

Just like picking out doorknobs or lighting fixtures, a person’s holiday decorations are a form of self-expression – your interpretation of the holidays. Not only do you choose decorations that reflect your tastes, but you also have to choose décor that works with your home. For example, you can’t buy a 20-foot holiday tree if you have low ceilings.

With the seemingly endless stores and magazines selling holiday décor, your options to decorate are vast. For this article, we wanted to share some beautiful ideas on how to make your home festive this year.

• Use a combo of baby cypress trees and glass/porcelain trees on the dining room table for a different kind of centerpiece.
• Fill bowls around the home with ornament balls.
• Wrap garland around all bannisters, railings, and mirrors. Wrap a giant and ornate garland around the fireplace.
• Hang glass snowflakes in the windows.
• Used wrapped gifts (just use boxes, not real gifts) as decorations around the holiday tree or other places in the home.
• Put a holiday tree in an outdoor space, porch, or lanai.
• Place wreaths on doors and over fireplaces.
• Spread ornaments, greens, berries, pinecones and other small holiday trinkets across shelves.
• Use red roses and red fabric as design elements throughout all your decorations to add a pop and dramatic feel to the holiday decorations.
• Hang bells from red ribbon from the fireplace.
• Adorn the house with red, pink, and white poinsettias.
• Place standing window baskets with evergreens, red berries, pinecones, ornaments and more on the porch, lanai, or outdoor living space.
• Burn wintery-scented candles around the home. Also, you can use candles of different colors, widths, and heights, to use merely for décor and not lighting.
• Display a candelabra prominently on a sill. You don’t want it hidden away or cluttered with too many other things.

These are just a few holiday decoration ideas. Let your imagination go wild. Remember, decorate to accentuate. And sometimes, simple is better.
