Home How-to Tips-Holiday Decorating

When you think of decorating for the holiday's, don't get stuck in the same old holiday colors and themes. You can decorate for the Christmas holiday's in colors other than green and red even though they are the traditional colors. Blue and gold or red and gold, it really doesn't matter as long as you like the colors and they compliment the rest of your home. Also, decorating with live plants will bring a lot of bling to your living room and the rest of your home. Here are some tips when planning your decorating adventure.

1.  Don't go crazy with holiday cards, placing them all over your house. Display the in one area with a wire card display hanger.
2.  Make sure you have a theme when decorating your home, whether it be whimsical or something as simple at fruit in a bowl. The small accents make the biggest impact.
3.  Now let's not forget about the front door. A beautiful wreath or even just a big bow will make a big impact as guests enter your home.
4.  Don't go overboard with decorating the outside of your home. String some lights along the top rail of your porch or along the columns.
5.  And the magic of threes. It doesn't matter what it is, candles, bowls or pillows. Odd numbers bring focus and balance to the room.
