I've been waiting all year long for this moment to come, a time where I need to take out all those Christmas and Thanksgiving decors that has long been kept in the attic. It's just sad to hear some people not having the interest to decorate due to the extensive process involve in the overall decoration.
But if you are someone like me that finds joy in decorating, you have probably spent all year round thinking about wonderful ideas for decorating. There are some important things I've learned in my several years of experience, and one of it is by letting your creativity rule over. And whether it’s your first time to decorate or not, here are some tips that could help you come up with the perfect decoration:
First, you should be able to come up with your own theme. Though holiday is your main theme, it is good to come up with a sub-theme, like coming up with a color coordination whether rustic or modern in nature. Be sure to choose which ones suit your taste so you would be able to easily encapsulate it.
It is best to decide in advance which theme you want to come up with so you will have plenty of time for the preparation. If you've noticed, most stores would offer Christmas decors on sale, several months before Christmas. Stock up on lights, so you would have plenty of these, come Christmas time.
When it comes to buying Christmas lights, choose those lights that have white shades. This is because these lights can be easily mixed up with other colorful decors that you have. You can never go wrong with white lights, since you can always combine it with whatever color you want. Homemade decorations are actually the best. So if you can, you better make your own decorations at home. Try to come up with some cute garlands and pine cones that will serve as ornaments for your Christmas trees.
Using several different accents for your Christmas decoration will surely make a big difference with your overall theme. You may also accentuate your decors with candles, as these things are becoming so popular nowadays. It will also add warmth into your home. Buy those candles that have holiday scents, such as those that smell like pine and freshly baked Christmas cupcakes or cupcake frosting.
And whatever theme you have for Christmas, never be afraid to experiment. Remember that you can still recycle your decors for next year's Christmas. And the more unique your decoration masterpiece is, the more excited you will feel into coming up with another unique idea for the following year.
