Decorating for the Holidays

You know that classic song: “There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays” - especially when you decorate! You don’t have to celebrate Christmas to make your home feel festive. Below are five versatile ways to spruce up your living space for the season:

Decorate the door - Whether you hang up a sign or a holiday wreath, there are plenty of ways to show you're in the holiday spirit. Tip: When you choose neutral, metallic, or bronze colors, you can keep that decoration up way past the holidays!

Customize it - Show your holiday colors by adding some unique decorations, such as a Christmas tree or a Menorah. Customizing your space with these festive symbols is a sure way to get you in the spirit this month and carry on traditions!

Switch up bedding & pillows - Want a simple way to transform your home for the holidays? Swap out your summer and fall accessories for different colors, like red, orange, or even metallic. The warmer the colors, the more you’ll want to stay in and cuddle up, and so will your guests!

Add scented candles - Aside from the aesthetics of your home, the aroma you create can also spruce things up. With a mix of pine and cinnamon, you’ll feel like everyday is a holiday this month upon walking through the front door!

Put down a welcome mat - Welcome friends and family with a front door mat with a festive quote and design. Might we also mention, this is a great way to keep your carpets clean throughout the house.

3 Secrets to Having a Chic Home

Making your home look chic doesn’t have to cost a fortune. All you need are a few simple changes, so consider these three easy tips to create an expensive look on a dime!

Choose the right colors. Stick to a neutral color scheme if you want to create a chic, expensive look. From gray to brown to white, there are plenty of shades you can choose from. Neutral colors look clean and are an excellent way to create a chic, sophisticated-looking home. Plus, you risk the chance of color-clashing. Bonus tip: add splashes of bold colors if you’re going for a more regal design.

Add a little texture. Without texture, a room can feel dull and uninviting. However, purchasing one or two statement pieces can bring more dimension into your home. For example, a sheepskin blanket paired with a leather couch or a wool rug layered on top of a wooden floor can make your living space look like a million bucks, when it really only costed you very little!

Declutter. When your beautiful home is filled with piles of mail, clothes, and boxes, it can look a bit messy. What you want to do in this case is get rid of all the unnecessary items laying around and make the space look as open as possible. Why? Because negative space says a lot when it comes to creating a chic home. In a sense, it makes your home feel more airy, which makes for a more sophisticated look.

Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Bedroom

Fall is almost here - the perfect time to cozy up your bedroom! Looking for a few easy ways to turn your space into a relaxing retreat? Get inspired by these four ideas:

Go big with a headboard. Want to easily transform your ordinary bedroom into a luxurious, boutique hotel room? All you need is a tall headboard with lots of detail to make your bed the eye-catching focal point of your space! Make sure the fabric is high-quality and has a unique silhouette to it!

Hang chandeliers. Nightstand lamps are a great option for lighting up a room, but hanging tiny, crystal chandeliers on each side of your bed can make your space look even more glamorous and bright. Not to mention, chandeliers can also transform your bedroom from ordinary to extraordinary without breaking the bank!

Add extra throws. There’s almost no better feeling than diving onto a bed covered with extra pillows and throw blankets - so layer them on! Don’t be afraid to mix and match. For example, a paisley patterned duvet looks great with a solid throw and geometrical shaped pillows.

Window Treatments. Bare windows are the best way to attract light. However, adding sheer, flowy window treatments can soften up the look of your bedroom, while still inviting lots of sunlight in! If you’d rather add a little more privacy, opt for linen window treatments that can easily swing open when the autumn air is breezy outside.
