The holidays are over, and Old Christmas Day has recently passed.
Which means that most of us have the tree and festive trim already packed away. Are you kicking yourself over how much work you gave yourself?That may be a sign you need to chill out when it comes to Christmas decor. However, that doesn’t mean you have to lose the festive spirit. Here are a few tips on how to make things all the easier when Winter 2019 rolls around.
Start trimming the fat
A lot of us have an emotional connection to the decorative pieces we use in the home. That feeling can be all the more intense when it comes to Holiday decor. Who wants to throw away things associated with such fond memories? However, if you’re likely to keep buying new pieces every year, it can soon become overwhelming.
Cut the Christmas clutter as soon as possible as shown by Organizingmoms.com and audit all your knick-knacks. Make a decision as to which are your least favorite and donate or sell them. This frees up some space and makes sure you’re not overwhelmed when the holidays come back around.
Use what you’ve got
You don’t need to necessarily buy new decorative pieces themed with Santa, snowmen, and reindeers to achieve the holiday spirit in the home next time, either. Use what you already have in a way that enhances the festive look of just a few Christmas focal points. Focus on creating Christmas-y color palettes instead, as shown at Sarahrenaeclark.com, with items that aren’t necessarily holiday-themed.
Get some expert help
If you really feel like you’re done with all of the effort that goes into making the home perfect for the holidays, you don’t have to do it all yourself. There are professional holiday décor teams like Francisinteriors.com that can take care of it all for you. From creating a custom Christmas tree to picking out decorations and ornaments to help complete the look, you can put your feet up and focus more on enjoying the holidays than making them.
Make sure the home is prepared
Lastly, you’re going to have a lot more work to do if you’re trying to protect the home from the cold weather at the same time that you’re trying to get it livened up for the holidays. Pre-Winter maintenance of the home, checking for air leaks, ensuring your heating is working properly, and inspecting for mold ahead of time can give you more time and space to focus on giving the home that holiday spirit.
Take note of these tips . It’s not just going to help you immediately get rid of some of that Christmas clutter taking up space, but it’s also going to help remind you that you don’t have to spend so much time and effort picking up holiday décor bits and pieces throughout the year, too. When December comes around yet again, you’re going to be relaxed and ready for it.
