Transition from Christmas to Winter Decor
Are you looking for ways to transition your Christmas decor to Winter decor? Today, on Life of Alley, sharing some easy tips to make your home decor transition easy with your current holiday pieces.
5 Simple Christmas to Winter transition tips:
1. DON’T OVERTHINK IT
With all the images that we see on social media it can be overwhelming at times. I get it, trust me. I feel the same way at times. But let the images you see help generate your own inspiration without it taking over your own personal style. Remember to always have fun trying new ways to create or style a space.
2. USE ELEMENTS YOU ALREADY OWN
Taking inventory on what you already own is a sure fire way to be able to create something “new” for a space economically. The pieces above are all items that were used for our Christmas decor. Laying them out helped inspire me to create a table centerpiece.
3. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
I took our wine barrel lazy susan that is usually sitting on our kitchen island. Love the mix of wood and metal with this piece. Adding an element of “green” would really help keep the wintery feel. I am a HUGE fan of trees and you will often see that as my personal inspiration in my style. I took a small portion of garland and circled it around the lazy susan.
4. CONSIDER THE SPACE
An important part of decorating, is making sure things are sized for the space appropriately. For my dining room I knew I wanted to add earth elements like fire, green and wood. I also knew I wanted a bit of height to add interest.
5. LESS IS MORE
Remember #1? Don’t over think it and keep things simple.Use elements that you love (whatever those are) and be yourself! Don’t try to compare your style to anyone else. Be unique and love the space you are in, YOUR way!
