If you live with someone that celebrates a different Winter holiday than you, it can be difficult to compromise on the best way to decorate in December. Perhaps one of you is quite fond of Christmas, while the other doesn’t celebrate any major holidays this time of the year- or, maybe one of you celebrates Hanukkah with passion, but the other couldn’t be bothered. Regardless of your household breakdown, it’s important to be able to settle on the right decor for your home, so as to make sure everyone feels comfortable and secure.
Here are the best winter decor ideas, regardless of your holiday of choice:
Dried Flower Bouquets
Dried flowers can have spectacular texture and depth, even beyond what non-dried flowers can offer. You can also purchase dried flowers far in advance of the holiday season, which’ll allow you to quit worrying about how to keep them alive in the Winter (unlike live flowers).
Spray-Painted Gold Branches
One of my all-time favorite winter decor statements is branches that have been spray painted gold. It catches the eye, fits with a number of motifs, is easy to put together yourself, and adds height and glam to your centerpieces- all at little to no cost!
Glitter Gold Floral Centerpieces
If you’re sensing a trend of flowers and gold, you’re not mistaken! I love mixing these two themes in winter decorating, and when it comes to floral centerpieces, glitter and gold work especially well together. A major plus of this particular decoration is that you can make it ahead of time and pull out when you’re ready.
Winter White
Whether you’re bringing out a vase, your favorite blanket or a new tablecloth, white is a wonderful color to incorporate into your Winter decor. It reminds people of snow, as well as the best parts of their own holiday seasons.
Candles
Candles are one of few holiday-themed motifs that will work for a variety of people in the Winter, since they’re associated with a range of holidays. I love using sturdy stand-alone candles on my living room table, as well as near my bedroom window- just make sure they’re in an area where they won’t be knocked over!
