This is the season of Thanksgiving, many of you are either ready to start decorating your homes or have already begun. I often get asked about the “rules” for holiday decorating, so here’s my top tip: have fun! This season is all about enjoying time with friends and family, so focus on what brings you joy. That said, I do have a few suggestions to help keep your space festive while staying true to the aesthetic you love.

If you like to keep things simple but elegant, consider decorating mostly with natural materials. Greenery, plants, and simple flowers with a few lights interspersed will give you a holiday look without going too over the top.

If you love the over-the-top joy of the holiday season, then celebrate that with lush layers of color and sparkle! Your tree should be packed to the max, and greenery should drip from every arch and mantel. To keep things cohesive, though, stick to your room’s color palette!

If you believe it isn’t the holidays without a traditional color palette, then definitely stick to what you love! I like to pick two colors to play with, so that can be white and red, green and silver, or blue and gold if you celebrate Hannukah. Make the color a strong focal point, rather than a rainbow of clutter.

If you know you’ll have a lot of guests dropping in over the holidays, then include a hosting station in your festive decor. It should be fully stocked with spirits, liqueurs, garnishes, and nibbles. Be sure to bring the bling with fun swizzle sticks, sassy napkins, and some flowers.

Use these ideas to make your home a cozy and fun getaway for the holiday season!
