Decorating for Christmas is one of my favorite things EVER!!! Here are some tips to help make your holiday decorating full of JOY not STRESS.
Cozing up to holiday decor this season.
1) Choose a theme and stick with it. If you decide to go with metallics and white one year - try and stick with it the next. That way you can fill your decor boxes a little more each year and still have a cohesive theme.
2) Pick a theme that is timeless. I know its soooo hard with all the cute trends each year - but try and find a theme that will take you throughout the holidays in years to come. I love metallics & white. You can always find trendy decor to fit within that theme - while still going with your old stuff!
3) Twinkle lights are EVERYTHING. They add holiday cheer to any space.= - like these lights I added along the back of the countertop. Make sure to go with WARM WHITE when possible. The battery powered ones are amazing too - because then you don’t have to find a plug near the mantle or run some ugly extension cord.

4) GO BIG. Spend money on big pieces rather than cheaper little ones. This JOY sign from target and bulb garland from Michael’s are the only pieces I added to the dining room space and it’s DONE! I spent a little more but it adds so much - without having that cluttered look.

5) The use the MIRROR EFFECT. Hang wreaths and decor on mirrors. I use command hooks so I can easily pull it off when the month is up.
Hanging the wreath on the circle mirror added the perfect touch!
6) Don’t be afraid to go cheap. For smaller areas I love buying the little trees from the target dollar section. They add a little sparkle to a space that doesn’t need a lot
A little goes a long way. This Target dollar section tree added the perfect sparkle to our coffee table!
Happy Decorating!! May your decor fill hearts with joy this holiday season!
