How to Easily Transition From Christmas to Winter Home Decor
Updated 7/28/2024
Are you looking for easy ways to transition your Christmas decor to Winter decor? Today, on Life of Alley, we are sharing some tips to take your home decor from holiday to winter easily.
5 Simple Christmas to Winter transition tips:
1. DONβT OVERTHINK IT
With all the images and things we see on social media, it can be overwhelming. I feel the same way at times, trust me. But let the images you see help generate your own inspiration without it taking over your own personal style. Remember to always have fun trying new ways to create or style a space.
2. USE ELEMENTS YOU ALREADY OWN
Taking inventory of what you already own is a surefire way to be able to create something βnewβ for a space economically. The pieces above are all items that were used for our Christmas decor. Laying them out helped inspire me to create a table centerpiece.
3. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
I took our wine barrel lazy susan that is usually sitting on our kitchen island. Love the mix of wood and metal with this piece. Adding an element of βgreenβ would really help keep the wintery feel. I am a HUGE fan of trees and you will often see that as my personal inspiration in my style. I took a small portion of garland and circled it around the lazy susan.
4. CONSIDER THE SPACE
An important part of decorating, is making sure things are sized for the space appropriately. For my dining room I knew I wanted to add earth elements like fire, green and wood. I also knew I wanted a bit of height to add interest.
5. LESS IS MORE
Remember #1? Donβt overthink it and keep things simple. Use elements that you love (whatever those are) and be yourself! Donβt try to compare your style to anyone else. Be unique and love the space you are in YOUR way!
