Here are some Seasonal Decorating Tips

Start with a Clean Slate

Remove ALL previous seasons’ decorations first. Go through your home and then double-check, and have someone else with a fresh set of eyes look as well. Inevitably, I will find a random hand towel or decoration a month later that I missed, and that’s ok. By removing all of the previous season’s decor first, it gives you a really clean and clear palette to start with. You can read our Seasonal Storage Tips post to get ideas and inspiration for storing your items.

Identify Areas to Decorate

I have the same few areas that I decorate each season, which include:

The Front Porch

  • Wreath for Front Door
  • Front Door Mat
  • Planter Boxes – Flowers for Spring & Summer, Mums for the Fall, and evergreen trimmings for Winter

Entryway Table & Mirror

  • String Lights for Mirror and/or Garland
  • Seasonal Frame
  • Table Runner
  • Seasonal Decorations

Coffee Bar

  • Seasonal Frames
  • Swap out “HOME” sign (the letter “O”)
  • Display seasonal drinks (hot cocoa, cider, teas)
  • Display seasonal mugs

Dining Room

  • Dining Room Tablecloth
  • Dining Room Placemats
  • Buffet / sideboard
  • Table Centerpiece

Other Areas

Do Not Overcomplicate It!

Decorating should be FUN! And it should definitely not be stressful. As much as we would like to have it decorated like Joanna Gaines or Martha Stewart, that does not happen too often. It is ok to use the same decorations for years, you do not need to buy new ones constantly. Do not stress if you do not have many items, often less is more.

The point is to make your home feel good. That could mean taking 10 minutes to swap out a few items, or it could be an entire weekend of decorating your home from top to bottom. What YOU want to do is what matters, and I know that no matter what that is, it will be great.
