Holiday Decorating Made Simple
Did you know that ‘less can be more’ when decorating for the holidays? “Nothing closes in a space faster than too much stuff — be it an oversized tree, twinkle lights on every window or ornaments everywhere,” says design consultant Dorothy Taylor. You don’t have to use every ornament you own every year. Or consider a smaller tree – tabletop trees are a good option for those with pets or toddlers. In small homes, make a big impact with a dramatic arrangement at the front door or in the foyer. If you have a mantle or banister adorn it with garland and a few strategic accents. Incorporate candles and use the new flameless LED candles near greenery.
