From Ordinary to Extraordinary: Holiday Decorating Hacks for Your Interior

With the holidays quickly approaching, now is the time to prepare to decorate the interior of your home. Whether you’re in need of some fall table festivity or you’re fast-forwarding to spreading Christmas joy, we have some extraordinary holiday decorating hacks to turn your home into a holiday wonderland.

Stay organized

It’s incredibly hard and time-consuming to pull out a huge bin of holiday decorations each year and try to figure out where everything goes. Keep your decorations organized in separate bins for each room. Not only will this keep you organized, but you can decorate one room at a time without making a mess.

Hanging your decorations

There are so many ways that you can hang decorations in your home. You can stick removable hooks on walls, ceilings, and doors. This allows you to place decorations like wreaths, garland, and festive pictures wherever you want. When the holidays are over, you can remove them without leaving any residue behind or destroying your surfaces.

Pick seasonal themes

Instead of using new decorations for each holiday — Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s — and the winter season, try to find decorations that simplify your décor. You can decorate for Thanksgiving and fall using pumpkins and brown, red, and orange leaves. Decorations that feature snow, snowmen, sleds, and steaming cups of cocoa work for both Christmas and winter. You’ll be able to leave your decorations up longer without feeling pressured to take them down.

Try layering

Don’t feel like you must keep each decoration separate. Combine and layer items to make decorations look fuller and more elaborate. Combine wreaths with garlands and lights for a beautiful mantle display. Your table décor can feature a runner, placemats, and a centerpiece with multiple items. Just make sure that you’re matching everything and not just throwing random items together. That’s when things can start to look messy.

Put up a themed tree

When it comes time to put up your Christmas tree, think about creating a themed display instead of putting up random ornaments everywhere. If your budget is limited, stick to ribbon and large ball-shaped ornaments that take up a lot of space. You won’t need to purchase as many items. Paired with a simple tree skirt, your tree will dazzle your guests.

If you have the space, think about putting up multiple trees in different rooms. Each one can have its own theme and color scheme.
