Decorating for the holidays can take a lot of work, especially when you’ve got a mountain of a to-do list to get done before your guests arrive! Luckily, scaling back on the holiday decor doesn’t necessarily mean a less festive Christmas. In fact, a minimalist approach to decorating can remove a lot of the stress while transforming your home into an elegant wonderland of holiday decor.
Let’s take a look at some subtle ways to decorate your home for the holidays that will wow your guests!
Embrace Natural Elements
Minimalism starts and ends with nature. The subtlety of exquisite organic elements can completely transform a space without overcomplicating its design. This holiday season, bring the outside in with natural wreaths, oversized plants, and luscious flowers!
Prioritize One Color
The psychology of color plays a monumental role in holiday decorating. While many homeowners embrace the chaos of the holidays with varied colors throughout their homes, a more subtle approach to festive decor simply requires only one primary color that is spread across the space. This pop of color will tie your home’s holiday decor together in a beautiful, minimalistic design.
Decorate The Windows
While it may seem counterintuitive to embrace even more decorating ideas this season, it’s actually critical to think of new, yet subtle, ways to bring the holiday spirit to our homes. Adorning your windows with modest wreaths, draw unique artistic designs, or light them by candlelight to bring a modern aesthetic to your holiday.
Play With Textures
Did you know that one of the keys to excellent interior design lies in texture? Many homeowners forget this powerful tool, utilizing only one plane of texture in their homes. This year, embrace a playfulness with your textures for a modern twist to your holiday decorations.
