Christmas Decorating Ideas Phase III - It's Time to Decorate!
Now for the fun part of holiday decorating! It's time to place your seasonal decor and create your holiday home. We're going to discuss the Christmas tree separately, so for now just make sure you have established the location for your main tree and adjusted furniture accordingly.
When I decorate my home for the holidays, I place the larger pieces first, then move down in size to the smallest.
Do you plan to have a number of Christmas trees in varying sizes and shapes? Do you have a collection of Santas, angels, snowmen, etc? Place the largest of these pieces now - they are your anchor pieces.
If you are going to use branches of any type on your mantel, table top, windows, etc., place the branches first and get them situated the way you want them before adding anything else to the display.
Once you get the largest pieces placed, work down to the smaller items. Try to place your decorations in two's or three's, and feel free to put your collections together in this manner as well.
If you are placing three angels together, for example, unless it is a set that belongs together, I would suggest three different heights and styles of angels. Then, put your common element in with this display as well. If your common element is tree branches/roping, then place a little of that with the angels. The goal is to have each display be complete in itself.
If you are using candles and roping on the mantel, add some lights (whatever your chosen theme is) to warm it up. Do you have a flower, frond, berry, etc. that is your common element?
Use some of that in this display. Decorating is a 'building' process. You start with the basics and add to them, building a beautiful holiday display.
The specifics of what you will use will vary according to your home, preferences, budget and style. But you can use these fundamentals to create a beautiful holiday home.
