5 Mistakes You May Be Making When Decorating for the Holidays
12.11.2023 - 10:25 / thespruce.com / Sarah Lyon
As you prepare to decorate your home for the winter holidays, keep in mind that there are a few common mistakes that interior designers witness year after year, and urge you to avoid at all costs.
Below, four designers chime in with insights on five common pitfalls that you will want to steer clear of as you deck the halls.
Faux garland has risen in popularity in recent years, but Jennifer Hunter, the founder of Jennifer Hunter Design, considers it secondary to the real thing.
She prefers real greenery because it gives a more elevated aesthetic and gives off a fresh scent to make your home smell good. However, keep in mind that because greenery can dry out quickly, you will want to mist yours periodically to ensure that it stays fresh and festive-looking all December long.
If you intend to host a holiday gathering in your home this season, plan to buy your greenery close to the date of your party so that it appears as lush as possible when your guests arrive.
While red and green are certainly common colors to decorate with during the holiday season, keep in mind that you can still add plenty of Christmas cheer to your home while incorporating other beautiful hues.
Timala Stewart, the founder of Decurated Interiors, explains how holiday decor doesn't always have to be the traditional colors.
«Ornaments and stockings exist in every color these days, so choose color combinations that speak to your personality and day-to-day decor style,» Stewart says. For example, if you're drawn to a minimalist aesthetic, try experimenting with off-white and silver decor this year, instead. If you're more into common styles like grandmillennial, consider hanging some blue and white stockings.
