The holiday season is in full swing, and with the year we’ve all had, it’s only natural to want to pull out all the stops and make your home feel as festive and cheery as possible. The best part is that over the next two months, there are plenty of holidays for you to celebrate, and you can keep your decorations up throughout the holiday season and switch out different pieces if that’s what will make you happy.

Frame Your Doorways and Windows

The song isn’t titled “Deck the Halls” for nothing! When it comes to decorating for the holidays, every space counts, including the space above your doors and windows. You want each room in your home to feel bright and cheery, and a great way to do just that is to frame your doors and windows. Luckily, there are many ways to do this, and you can pick whatever works best for your taste and doesn’t clash with your home. If you want to stick to a particular color scheme, you may choose a colorful garland. If you’re someone who enjoys traditional holiday decor, you may even consider framing your doorways and windows with a pine garland.

Fill Your Home With Music

Music has a way of making everything more festive and enjoyable, and the best part is that you can find the perfect music to accompany every holiday. For example, if you love gathering with your family on Thanksgiving to eat delicious food and spend quality time together, you may consider a playlist of dinner party music or even a creative playlist of your family’s favorite songs to accompany you while you eat. If you are someone who loves Christmas and you can’t wait to get into the Christmas spirit, you may consider playing all your favorite Christmas songs — new and old — as soon as Thanksgiving is over.

Switch Up Your Linens

While some people are set with traditional decorations and festive music, there are others who enjoy incorporating the holidays into every part of their life, and for those people, we recommend changing your linens to make your home feel more festive! This can be as simple as changing the kitchen towels that usually hang on your oven to ones with a festive print, or you may decide to put away your everyday throw pillows and blankets in favor of holiday themed linens. That being said, if you really want to go the extra mile, you can also change the sheets on your bed to be more festive, especially if you plan on having guests stay at your home.

Embrace Holiday Scents

The best way to make your home more festive for the holidays is to hit all five senses, and that includes your sense of smell. Luckily, there are a few different ways to make your home look and smell more festive. Consider buying candles with holiday scents such as pine, sugar cookies, or even a beautiful combination of classic spices such as nutmeg and cloves. Another great option if you’re short on time is to make your own potpourri. All you have to do is add a few ingredients to a pot of water and let it simmer on the stove. One of the most common homemade potpourris is a combination of apples, lemon or oranges, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.

Paint Your Windows

In the past, you’ve probably walked past stores that have beautiful wintery or festive scenes painted on their windows, but did you know you can do that at home, too? If you’re someone who is artistic, and you want to not only make the inside of your home feel more festive, but also spread some festive cheer to the outside world, painting your windows is an excellent way to do just that. That being said, you may not be too excited to wash all of that paint off your windows once the holidays are over, but that’s where Sparkling Windows can help!
