      1 hour ago

      As the Festive season approaches soon, it’s time to get your home into the holiday spirit too with the right décor. As Santa will be tempted to come in through the front door this year.
      Festive décor can vary depending on the occasion or holiday you’re celebrating, but here are some universally appealing ideas for creating a cosy and celebratory atmosphere at home.
      Lighting
      Use warm or multi-colored string lights to add a magical glow. You can also opt for festive scents like cinnamon, vanilla, or pine. Place them in glass holders or lanterns for safety and style.
      Table Decorations
      Create arrangements with pinecones, baubles, and evergreen sprigs. Add height with candles or small vases. Choose ones with festive patterns like snowflakes, plaid, or metallic designs.

      Ornaments and Garlands
      Hang on doors, above the fireplace, or as part of a gallery wall. Drape them over mantels, banisters, or around windows. Enhance with lights, bows, or berries. Fill vases or bowls with ornaments for quick and easy festive touches.
      Seasonal Accents
      Choose holiday-themed or cozy textiles in rich colors like red, green, gold, or navy. It’s always easy to decorate with pinecones, holly, eucalyptus, and dried oranges.
      This year, we’re doubling down on our holiday decor as a fun, festive way to spread joy far and wide. We tend to spend more time at home with loved ones during the holiday season, why not deck those halls in style.
