Homes full of holiday cheer aren’t just for those who can afford an interior decorator and fancy ornaments and decor. Bringing the season into your home is possible for everybody, whether you live in a house, an apartment, or a college dorm. Just follow these simple and affordable tips to make your home cheery and bright this holiday season.
Scents of the Season
There are certain scents, such as cinnamon, pine, and peppermint, associated with the holiday season that immediately bring back nostalgic childhood memories. Fill the air with these aromas, and your friends and loved ones will immediately feel at home. While stores have a never-ending supply of holiday-scented candles and sprays, consider instead these fun and easy methods for making natural air fresheners that are chemical- and toxin-free.
Transform with Twinkle Lights
No matter how bare your rooms may be otherwise, adding a few strands of Christmas lights will instantly add a festive element to any setting. There’s just something about the gentle glow of twinkle lights that can make any room seem warm and merry. At just a few dollars per strand, they’re perfect for any budget.
Highlight Your Holiday Cards
Christmas and other holiday cards, particularly photo cards, were meant for more than just a brief perusal. Enjoy the holiday scenes and bright smiling faces of loved ones by stringing the cards on a piece of twine and displaying them across your mantel, in front of replacement windows in Brookfield, WI, or on the back of a door. Simply punch a hole in the corner, thread the twine through, and tie a knot to keep it in place.
Don’t Forget the Tree!
If you love Christmas trees, but just don’t have the time or the space to set one up, don’t give up altogether. Buy a miniature tree! Pre-lit mini trees can be set up anywhere, like on a tabletop, a dresser, or a desk. If your holiday traditions don’t include a Christmas tree, try decorating with fresh pine wreaths, garlands, or swags decorated with pinecones, faux berries, and ribbons. It’s an easy way to bring the sights and scents of nature into your home.
