6 Easy Ways to Spruce Up Your Home for the Holiday Season
The best part of the holidays is having everyone together. Whether you’re hosting a big family dinner or a casual evening with friends, a few small touches can make your home feel warm, welcoming, and ready to celebrate. Here’s how to get your space holiday ready without overthinking it.
Set the Scene with Candlelight
Nothing brings out the spirit of the season like the soft glow of a candle. Try the Christmas Collection from Glasshouse Fragrances for scents that capture the holidays perfectly. Think cozy, festive, and elegant all at once. Place a few around your living or dining areas to create an inviting atmosphere for guests.
Add Cozy Layers for Gathering Spaces
When people come together, you want your home to feel relaxed and comfortable. Drape throw blankets over the sofa, add a few extra pillows, and bring in soft textures that encourage everyone to sit back and stay awhile. Layering throws with different colors and textures add depth to your space, making it feel serene and designed. These small touches make conversations near endless and make guests linger longer.
Refresh the Dining Table
The dining table is where holiday memories are made. If your table feels too tight for the group you’re hosting, consider a larger one that can bring everyone together comfortably. Dress it with new linens, fresh napkins, and a simple centerpiece. Just enough to make your holiday dinners feel like an occasion.
Bring Out Your Best Drinkware
Every gathering deserves a little sparkle. Whether it’s a festive cocktail, mocktail, or sparkling cider, using beautiful glassware makes any drink feel special. It’s a small detail that sets the tone for celebration and shows you’ve thought about every moment. We have the perfect set of rustic green glasses that would perfectly suit a poinsettia, eggnog espresso martini, or that special vintage of red.
Add Greenery to Every Room
Touches of greenery make a home feel alive during the holidays. A wreath on the door, a few branches on the mantel, or a small vase of pine or eucalyptus on the table can bring the season indoors. It’s a simple way to make your home feel fresh and festive.
Create a Space That Feels Easy and Welcoming
The holidays are about connection, not perfection. Play some soft music, light a few candles, and keep the focus on the people you’re with. Keep some board games or playing cards on hand for impromptu game nights. In our online store we have vintage style board games meant to be stored on a bookshelf. Just look under the accessories tab or search for board games to see what we have in stock! A home that feels lived-in and loved always makes guests feel most at ease.
With just a few thoughtful touches; warm candlelight, a table that brings everyone together, and soft, cozy layers; your home can be ready for the holidays and all the gatherings that come with them
