Besides putting up Christmas trees, garlands and ornaments, here are a few inexpensive and easy holiday decorating ideas I have used to spiff up my clients’ homes in the last month:
1. Change dish cloths and potholders. Solid black or white dish towels and potholders really freshen up a kitchen.
2. A set of new kitchen knobs. This simple upgrade can instantly transform cabinets and give the whole room a more modern look.
Snuggle up!
3. A pretty throw for the sofa can make the conversation area look more inviting and feel cozier. Look for brushed cotton in a solid neutral color that will coordinate with the existing color scheme.
4. Invest in a pretty ceramic bowl to use as a centerpiece now and for seasonal displays later.
5. A square orchid pot can show off a beautiful holiday amaryllis and be used year-round to elegantly display other potted plants.
Make your house smell great
6. A ‘Holiday’ scented diffuser can make the whole house smell like a field of Christmas trees.
