DECORATE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
To keep your holiday home décor authentically your own, look through what you already have and see what best matches the seasonal palette. Perhaps you have some bright red throw pillows that can be displayed more prominently. Or a gentle green table cloth that can add a festive warmth to your holiday meal.

KEEP IT NATURAL
The holidays don’t have to be all about loud plastic decorations and artificial trees. A more tasteful alternative can be found in embracing traditional holiday crafts. Decorated pine cones, fresh poinsettias, and real trees and garlands will bring a timeless sense of chic to your holiday décor.

LEAVE LITTLE “GIFTS” ALL AROUND YOUR HOME
The key to really tasteful holiday decorating is to follow the adage of “less is more.” There’s no need to cover your house in lights like Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation. A small vase filled with pine cuttings in the living room, or a decorative holiday candle in the bathroom can bring a sense of cheer without being overpowering.

MAKE YOUR HEARTH MORE MERRY
Your fireplace hearth is the perfect centrepiece to your holiday decorating. Stick to tasteful natural materials, and maybe even a few holiday crafts or homemade cards. Of course, you’ll also want to hang those stockings with care.
