Holiday Décor Tips to Impress Your Guests This Season
The holidays are finally upon us and words cannot express how excited we are to decorate for the holiday season! The holidays call for some much-needed T.L.C. from our loved ones. Friends and family gather to celebrate – traveling far and wide just to be together. While you don’t need an excuse to gather with your friends and family, the holidays provide a perfect reason to come together to eat, drink and be merry! During these holiday gatherings, the ambiance is everything. We’ve jotted down some of our most important holiday decoration tips for the season if you’re looking to host the most memorable holiday party.
Choose a Color Palette
Decide whether you’re keeping it simple or going over-the-top. Once you’ve decided which décor route you want to go for this, then you can decide your color palette. Deciding your color palette at the beginning of your design process will help keep you on track when you’re getting down to the very last details.
Make it Monochromatic
If you are looking to make a subtle impact, a monochromatic color scheme works perfectly. Winter whites and creams pair well together if you want to achieve a sophisticated and cohesive look. Sticking with a monochromatic color scheme is an easy way to create a theme and achieve a cohesive look with minimal effort.
Go for the Gold
When in doubt, use gold as an anchor color for your festive setup. Using gold as your base color allows you to have fun with complementary colors. Even if you’re looking to be a little less traditional, gold is a surefire way to keep the holiday aesthetic alive.
Pops of (Nontraditional) Color
For traditionally festive vibes, choose holiday décor colors and tones like reds and greens but don’t feel that you have to fully commit to a holiday color palette. Don’t be afraid to use non-traditional holiday colors if you’re looking to make a statement. We love encouraging our clients to push boundaries with color during the holiday season. Jewel tones are a great way to stay festive while taking a less traditional approach.
Take Your Tablescape to a Whole New Level
A well-designed tablescape can make a huge impact with or without complementary décor.
One of our favorite tablescape ideas is going for a deconstructed look. There are different ways for you to achieve this look. For autumn, we like to think of creative ways to incorporate pumpkins and maple leaves into our décor. For winter, we like to incorporate pinecones, berries, and other natural elements into the design. Remember, to think beyond the table surface. Elevating specific elements in varying heights will add dimension to your table. Also, consider sprucing up your chairs with added décor like foliage or ribbon.
Picture Perfect Place Settings
Place settings can make impactful statements. When it comes to table settings we like to think of dressing your table as if you were dressing yourself. You can either go with a traditional, clean-cut table setting or go funky with some fun dish-ware and cutlery. Your place settings can take on a life of their own, so don’t be afraid to have a little fun.
Whether you’re hosting the entire extended family or just a few friends, creating an inviting atmosphere is key to creating the perfect holiday get together. Consider color and theme when starting your design process and remember that even the tiniest of details can make all the difference.
