Aside from food and gifts, there is one other thing to take care of during the holidays – home decorations. When beautifying your space for the holidays, it is highly recommended to choose holiday decor with the style and colour palette that suits your home. Keep in mind to apply the rule of repetition while doing so. This will help you focus on the theme as you shop.

But apart from picking a theme, here are some of our top recommendations to make your home cosy and comfy this yuletide season.

Add festive candles

Candles offer a traditional way to add mood and cosiness to any home. Try adding a group of white or any coloured candles that match your theme. Grab the ones with various heights and arrange them in the centre of the dining table.  While it is recommended that the candles displayed on your table are unscented, having scented candles around your home will help you achieve a cosy feel and warm ambience.

Switch up throw pillows and blankets

Switch your lightweight cottons and linens with bulky textures and patterns like plaid. Then, accentuate the couch with items such as a throw on the chair’s arm or throw pillows in bright colours.  Amplify the warmth by adding pops of holiday colours to your holiday decor.

Replace your art pieces

Get a few stunning wall art pieces that display seasonal colours and themes. Alternatively, you can hang a large painted wood wall sign. This will act as the finishing touch for a cosy Christmas bedroom. Another thing you can do is revamp all your framed family photos and display them where guests can see.

Let nature in

Group curly branches or any kind of greenery and combine them with a variety of fall hues. You can also try other simple flowers and plants that make stylish statements. Some good options include maidenhair ferns, green hydrangeas, orange lilies and orchids. We also recommend incorporating accents like a wooden bowl full of apples or a silver tray packed with pomegranates. To spruce up your Christmas decorations, you can fill up a crockpot with berries, evergreen clippings and birch logs.
