Home Front Decoration

As the holiday season quickly approaches, it’s never too early to start thinking about decoration ideas. After the holiday dinner menus are completed, it’s time to start thinking about ways to add holiday cheer to the home. While garland and blinking holiday lights tangled on the staircase are the norm for many families, what better way to be festive than with some new and unique holiday decoration ideas? The whole family can become involved in decorating the home, while sipping on hot cocoa and listening to the family’s favorite holiday tunes. Holiday decorations can represent a personal aesthetic and doesn’t have to be expensive either. Here are five holiday decoration ideas to add character to the home.

1. Window decorations are a simple way to add some holiday festivity to any room. Pick out a holiday colored fabric and create a beautiful windowscape with custom drapery to match the home and holiday season. Don’t forget that specialty window rods are also available that can add some character to the room.
2. The fireplace and mantle are popular areas for some holiday decorating. Look for fake snow to place on top of the mantle, snow globes, snowmen, angels, menorahs, Chanukah figurines, and other holiday spirited items to adorn the common area.
3. The bathroom is also a fun place to add holiday decoration. Look for scented candles and soaps for guests to use, such as cinnamon spice or pumpkin pie to compliment the season.
4. Pine cones and pine trees are a definite staple during the season. Look for ways to add the sweet smelling shrubs as a centerpiece near the dining room, as a wreath on the front door or in the form of a Christmas tree.
5. If young children live in the home, make sure to put up their special classroom projects as part of the home’s holiday decorations. Many youngsters will spend hours in class making snowmen, Thanksgiving turkeys, Santa hats and holiday drawings to get in the spirit. Put some of their favorite creations in the kitchen and living room for the whole family and guests to enjoy.
