Conservative Read – Christmas Holiday Headquarters

Wrap with a Natural Look Dddddd

Tie this Christmas look together with a mix of materials. Burlap and solid brown and white papers on the presents are in keeping with the room’s color palette. Natural elements, like wood tags, adorn the gifts.

Use a Consistent Color Scheme

Keep the color scheme consistent by introducing only shades of white and aqua or turquoise. The bright, colorful beaded garland is a dramatic contrast against the Christmas tree’s stark white branches.

Wrap Gifts to Match Your Décor

Embellish gifts with Christmas ornaments that coordinate with your decor. These packages are adorned with mini disco balls to mimic the topper and tied with the same ribbons that cascade down the tree.

Top the Tree with Bells

Bunch fresh holly from the yard and large gold temple bells on top of the Christmas tree for a bold use of traditional materials. Experiment with different toppers using fresh greenery or flowers―nice decorating alternatives to the typical star.

Decorate for the Holiday Season

5-Minute Holiday Decorating Ideas 

Ideas you can do in less time than it takes to hang stockings by the chimney with care.

For a mantel with extra flair, collect family holiday cards from previous years and clothespin them to a long, slim stick suspended between two vases. Put them in chronological order and, if you want, date the pins.

Add Color to Your Front Door

Accent a bright white door with the deep colors of an evergreen wreath and garland. Tie on extra-wide red ribbons to complete the Christmas look and add graphic punch. Twinkling lights add a soft glow at night and allow the door and decor to be seen from the street.

Merry Mailbox Topper

Top off a square mailbox with an abundant bouquet of winter plants. Fill a wide, shallow planter with a mix of pansies, flowering cabbage, cedar, fir, lavender, and rosemary trimmed to resemble a Christmas tree. Tuck in ornaments and oversize pinecones to add color and fill in gaps.

Create a Stunning Centerpiece

Create an elegant Christmas centerpiece with red roses surrounded by white tallow berries in silver vases made to resemble birch bark. Tuck pieces of boxwood garland and sprigs of berries around the base of the vases; add votives to finish the look.

Decorate Pendant Lights

Dress up pendant lights in a kitchen or over an island with garland. This kitchen allows plenty of room for entertaining. The open floor plan keeps the cook from being cut off from the festivities on Christmas morning.

Make Your Own Stockings

Use simple and inexpensive burlap fabric from the fabric store to fashion handmade Christmas stockings, hand-stitched along the edges with twine. Mismatched letters, found at flea markets, add a personal touch.

Put Your Tree in a Basket

Skip the usual metal stand and instead use a natural woven basket to hold your Christmas tree. You’ll likely still need to support the trunk inside the basket with a stand, but the results are much more beautiful.
