If you’re not quite ready to pull out all the Christmas decorations but your home is feeling a little sad in the Daylight Savings darkness, here are some things I’m enjoying to bring some extra spark into your home!
As a disclaimer, I don’t care if you go and decorate full Christmas already. The months fly by fast enough; you might as well enjoy it while you can!
- The Christmas tree… without the decorations. I’ve enjoyed putting up my trees early the past few years and just enjoying the extra lights they bring! You’d be surprised how it can still look chic and styled without the ornaments and garland. It brings a clean and *magical* spark to your home.
- Evergreen branches and swags. I like to go around and swap out stems around the house for ones that fit the season. There’s something special about a vase brimming with evergreen stems that reminds you of the season you’re in. Adding a swag to a mantle (or in our case, draped over the piano) is some more real estate to twist in a strand of twinkle lights.
- Candles and fireplaces. You don’t always get to enjoy a fire, so soak up this part of the season while you can! As if you can’t tell, I love adding light anywhere and everywhere during these dark months!
