The holiday season is upon us and it’s certainly the most wonderful time of the year. Home is where the heart is, and many families look forward to the tradition of cozying up their homes for the holidays each year. If you want to switch up your holiday decorations or step it up a notch this year, follow this guide for making your home cozier for the holidays.
White Lights
There’s nothing cozier than twinkling lights in the evening. Holiday lights are magical, so the more the merrier! Drape your entryway and other doorways in lights, mixed in with some garland, for a dramatic effect. If putting up multiple trees, don’t forget to double up on the lights.
Holiday Pillows and Throws
You probably already have a holiday stash of pillows and throws. This is the most inexpensive way to add a layer of coziness to your home during the holidays. Use holiday colors, add some sparkle and shine, and use faux fur for an extra cozy effect.
Holiday-Themed Bar Cart
There’s nothing more festive than a bar cart filled with all your favorite holiday spirits, complete with holiday decorations, festive wine stoppers and bar accessories. Get your holiday-themed bar cart ready for guests or an intimate night at home.
Display Firewood
If you have a fireplace, display your firewood for all to see to create a cozy ambiance near the fire. Bringing the outdoors in is a good way to achieve a festive atmosphere for the holiday season.
Candle-Lit
Candles give off a naturally cozy ambiance, so snuggle up to a candle-lit home during the holidays. We know fire safety is a concern, so swap out candles for tea lights for the same result.
Don’t Forget the Holiday Music
After making all the holiday updates to your home, there’s nothing that sets the holiday mood better than some classic holiday music. Snuggle up to the fire with a piping hot mug of hot cocoa while listening to “There’s No Place Like Home For the Holidays” to kick your holiday season off the right way.
