Rearrange and decorate the home with these festive tips. 

The holidays are fast approaching, and with them come a wide variety of festivities, good times, and family gatherings. If you will be hosting relatives or friends at your home this season, you may be interested in sprucing up your rooms with the spirit of the holidays! These design tips don’t require a lot of time or money, but they go a long way into creating a festive spirit and ensuring everyone is comfortable. Happy Holidays, everyone! 

Make more room by rearranging

Rearranging furniture can change the entire look and feel of a room. Try a few different configurations to see what provides the most sitting areas for everyone to relax together. Sofas can be turned at an angle, side tables can be temporarily placed in storage, and window blinds can be opened to add natural lighting and make the room feel more spacious. With some practical rearrangements, you might just discover you have more room than you thought. 

If your space is brimming with furniture pieces, you may wish to scale back and put a few unneeded pieces in storage for the season. This will also let you bring more seating in if needed to ensure everyone has a place to sit if they choose. 

Add cozy accessories to make things homey

Throw blankets and pillows can make seating areas more homey and comfortable for guests during the holidays. Aside from the typical areas in the living room, consider other spaces where guests may be interacting, such as the entryway.

Spice up display shelves

Bookshelves, display cabinets, and other little nooks are great places to add small, festive touches such as a wreath, pumpkins, and candles. Clear out any ordinary clutter items and put the festive accessories on display for maximum impact. 

Swap your art pieces

If you have existing art pieces on the wall, a super easy change is to simply swap them out with more seasonally inspired pieces. This could be kids artwork, fall photographs, or more abstract pieces. If you're artistically inclined yourself, you could even try making your own pieces to change up the room. 

Ensure adequate lighting in each room

Lighting is so important for creating a warm and welcoming space that others can enjoy. Make sure that the rooms that guests will be gathering in are well-lit, either by natural lighting (if possible) or artificial sources.
