Drape garlands and wreaths all throughout your home: on the staircase, mantel, hallway mirror, picture frame, entry way, and front porch. You can make your own with fresh pine branches and cover them with gold glitter, ornaments, and ribbon.

Use traditional colors – Red, gold, and green may be the usual Christmas colors but they sure can set the mood and tone of your holiday theme. If you want to keep a cozy look but still experiment with other shades, use these as your base and place a vibrant hue here and there to shake things up a little.

Gather around – Arrange plenty of seating areas with casual and comfortable furniture where the family can hang out together. Group pieces like sofas and armchairs in a way that encourages face-to-face interactions opposed to aiming everything towards the television.

Dim the lights – Overhead lighting is too harsh this season, so rely on dimmed wall scones and floor lamps to create softer lighting. Try 40-60 watt light bulbs for a cozier feel instead of high-wattage bulbs.
