Decorate to Stay Festive Year Round
Traditionally, Christmas decorations are taken down and sent back to storage during the first week of the New Year. After a season filled with ornaments and presents, the sudden absence of the lights, garland, and tinsel can make a room seem a little bare. Here are a few tips for keeping your house festive even after the holiday decorations are put away.
Deck the Walls
A piece of colorful artwork will add year-round festivity to your home. These paintings by Lynne Harty are a perfect mix of classic and colorful. Their vibrant, eye-catching colors are sure to brighten any room in the house.
Cut a Rug
Make your room appear larger and brighter with a light colored rug in a floral pattern. A rug from the Capel Festival of Flowers or Orchard House collection will add personality and a hint of springtime to your otherwise bare floors.
Bloom the Room
Replace your Santa Claus centerpiece with fresh flowers in a unique vase. Flowers have been shown to immediately boost your happiness, and a fresh bouquet can have a lasting positive effect on your mood. Change flowers out weekly, focusing on a different type of bloom each time. In the springtime, you can even supply the arrangements from your own garden with Biltmore For Your Home plants and flowers.
