You might have grand ideas of decorating your home like a department store during the holidays, but chances are, you don’t have the extra time or money to embrace your imagination and go all out. Instead of overwhelming yourself, aim for simple decor. Sometimes, less is more!
1. Start with your tree.
For a simple, problem-free tree, choose a monochromatic color scheme. If you’d like a different option, use neutral colors so your holiday decorations coordinate with your room’s normal decor.
2. Bring some holiday cheer to your mantel.
Choose a bold piece of garland to hang or drape from the mantel. Place some candles on the mantel to light after sunset, and voila!
3. Bring seasonal flair to your table.
Place a garland on your dining room table, which can serve as a table runner. Mix in decorative candles for added ambiance. To complete the look and tie everything together, choose a festive centerpiece.
