Christmas Decor TipsChristmas is my favorite time of year - I love creating a magical ambience to enjoy throughout the holiday season. A crackling fire, the smell of baking and sweet spices, candlelight and the glow of the tree will surely take the chill off any winter night! Although red and green or silver and gold are the more traditional christmas colors, one is certainly not limited to these for decorations. These days you can find ornaments and ribbon in just about any color, and some lovely effects can be created by coordinating your christmas decor to the colors of your home. Another option is to choose a special color or theme (rustic, victorian, modern) that is carried through all your decorations. I like to arrange holiday items in amongst the regular everyday decor - tucking in festive accents to plants or shelf arrangements, or replacing something with a similar-sized Christmas piece in the same location. This helps blend everything together visually. Another important tip is to try to use groupings rather than scattering individual items all over the place. We can quickly run out of horizontal surfaces to place things and can end up with a cluttered, messy look that can be distracting. By creating vignettes using different sizes, shapes and textures, your eye will have somewhere specific to focus. This is also a great way to feature smaller treasures that might otherwise be missed on their own. back to top |

Custom Garlands, Wreaths and TreesIf I had to choose a favorite christmas decoration, I would have to say that garlands top my list. They can be used on mantles, stairs, window ledges, curtain rods, shelves and other creative places. To ensure a full, lush garland be sure to double or triple the embellishments...one of the main ways to get that "designer look" is through the use of MORE! My specialities are creating custom coordinated garlands, wreaths and miniature trees that will highlight your home or office's best features and work as a glowing extension of your regular decor. I can also help with the big Christmas tree, too! back to top |
Exterior DisplaysDon't forget the front door and other places outside! What better way to welcome holiday guests and provide some cheer for the mail carrier? Wreaths, garlands, trees and lights can be arranged in festive exuberance for both day and night viewing.
