A Natural Approach To Decorating For The Holidays

Other Family Vacation Options

One of the most enjoyable family traditions is decorating the home in preparation for the holiday season. From unpacking cherished ornaments, decorations like a butterfly metal wall hanging and all kinds of large wall sculptures to choosing the perfect tree at a local tree farm, the holidays seem more meaningful when shared with family members. Whether you like a glamorous look full of sparkle or sophisticated palette of ice blue, silver and white; or whether you are a more traditional soul that loves green and red, Scotch plaid and all the trimmings, adding natural decor to your holiday interiors will add texture, fragrance and dimension.

Boughs of Holly
A walk through the woods or around your yard will supply you with boughs of holly and pine to accent your home. Natural greens look wonderful with any holiday decorative scheme, from very traditional to very modern; as a bonus, you get the wonderful fragrance of pine throughout your home. Tuck greens on tops of armories, shelves, soffits and of course, the fireplace mantle. Red holly berries or cut red branches, such as those cut from redwing dogwood, add a festive touch. Greens can be dressed up with ornaments and lights or left natural and interspersed with pine cones and cinnamon sticks tied with red ribbon.

Winter Bulbs and Flowers
Choose white or red poinsettias to add natural beauty to your holidays and your decor; consider placing them against a backdrop of green or winter white. Even bare branches situated in a vase can suggest the simple beauty of wintertime. Secure them in a vase by pushing them into florist foam, and then run a bead of hot glue around the edge of each branch to secure. Drape a few gorgeous ornaments or crystals from the branches for a luxurious look, or hang small glass vases on a few branches and add a fresh bloom to each vase. Try snowdrops, amaryllis, or paper whites. Forced pots of these winter bulbs brings a fresh holiday touch to every room of the house.

Striking Candle Accents
Make your home smell like you have been cooking holiday treats all day with aromatic candles in scents like cranberry, peppermint, and gingerbread. Put safety first, always recalling that candles are highly flammable when using them around fresh flowers or greenery. Battery operated candles are a safer choice and you can tuck them right into your wall art arrangements.

Holiday Fun for Children
Little children love to assist with decorating and a classic paper chain is always easy and fun to make. Any heavy weight paper or decorative paper can be used to make a chain for the tree, a banister or a railing. Kids also enjoy stringing popcorn for the tree. After the holidays, take the popcorn string outdoors and drape it on a tree branch for the birds to enjoy. If you use a real tree, take the entire tree to the garden, popcorn chain at all. Twist floral wire around a dozen or more pine cones and allow the kids help you smear peanut butter on them. Then roll the pine cones in bird seed and place them on the tree to give the birds with a holiday feast. If you place your discarded tree in the garden near your bird feeders, it will provide cover and safety for the birds all winter long.

If you have time, here is another interesting article about arranging your library.
