I enjoy this time of year and recognize that you are very busy trying to get your home ready for the holidays, planning and parties … the list seems daunting. In that spirit, I wanted to offer some quick tips to help you with some unique holiday decorating ideas.
1. Â Instead of one single wreath for your front door, consider using three miniature wreaths attached to a long piece of ribbon hung the length of your door.
2.  Change out your chair and sofa pillows with pretty holiday pillows for an instant festive feel. For some great ideas, click here to view online options from Pier 1.
3.  If you have a window in your dining room with a curtain rod, consider using beautiful colored ribbon, perhaps incorporating ornaments and tie a bow to hang the wreath to the rod. This eliminates the need to hang anything from the wall and offers a lovely and simple decoration for your dining area.
4. Â Here are three fabulous make in a minute centerpiece ideas that you can create using any clear glass container, hurricane, vase, or trifle dish.
- Create an instant centerpiece by layering various colored fruit such as limes, fresh cranberries, and cut greens (such as holly or evergreen sprigs) from your yard.
- Create a whimsical centerpiece by layering white peppermint balls and marshmallows for a lovely red and white theme. You may also use miniature candy canes in the layers.
- Pick a color theme and fill the container with sparkly and theme coordinated ornaments which you can pick up very inexpensively from Target, Jo-Ann Fabrics, or Home Depot.
Once you have created your desired look, place it in a circle of real or fake greens, you could use a wreath for this, to finish the centerpiece look.
5.  I have found the most amazing lighting option that I wanted to share with you. Have you seen the little micro lights or fairy lights? They are LED lights that are on a thin bendable wire and generally use 3 AAA batteries and some of them even have a timer built in. I love this idea as it adds the perfect amount of light to your holiday mantel decoration, and there is no cord to hide! Click here to check out these lights from Lights & Décor.
