Easy Interior Decorating Ideas for the Holidays

Snow is falling and winter in Northern Colorado has finally arrived, which means it’s time to sprinkle in some festive décor that will illuminate your home for the holidays. Here are our top five easy holiday decorating tips for you to try out in your new home this holiday season.

Antique Displays

Utilize your front porch or an empty corner in your living room by setting up a vintage winter display. An old sled, ice skates or even vintage skis will make a great addition to your home. Or if you’re starting from scratch, make a trip to a nearby thrift store (Arc, Goodwill Loveland or Loveland Habitat for Humanity), to see if you can find a special winter treasure to repurpose.

Keep It Cozy

Winter is all about coziness and warm ambiance. When it’s cold and wet outside, you want to be warm and dry inside. Sometimes all it takes is a variety of additional throws, fluffy blankets and heavy curtains. You can also use pillows and cushions to add warmth and comfort to bedroom and living spaces.

Seasonal Rugs

Walking on cold floors is never appealing when it’s cold and snowy outside. You can avoid this by adding decorative rugs to all areas of the house, making your new home feel a lot more inviting and warm.

Keep It Natural

If you like to avoid decorations that scream Santa’s North Pole, consider using natural elements such as wood, flowers, leaves and pine cones to decorate. Bunch them together and place them in a basket or use twigs and ribbon to make a nice centerpiece for the dining tables and coffee tables.

All About Aroma

With winter comes a handful of scents that everyone looks forward to all year long. Pick up some seasonal candles or air fresheners to give your home a nice and festive scent. Some of our favorites include fresh pine, cinnamon apple and pumpkin spice.

If you’re feeling extra ambitions, homemade cookies are sure to fill the house with a sweet family-pleasing aroma.
