With Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving right around the corner it's time to start thinking all things holiday decor.
Whether you're a classic kind of decorations person or you prefer a more edgy approach this year more than ever you have every reason to decorate.
Usually I'm a strict Friday after Thanksgiving decorator. This year however I say all rules are off and do whatever makes you happy!
I have decided to approach this season with a slow roll out of decor, putting out some festive decorations earlier than others.
Each year I collect more and more decorations for the season so the following year no decor scheme is ever the exact same. I always recommend clients mix decor up each year with different layouts, placements and uses of all the decorations in their arsenal.
I also like to approach different decor vibes in each room. One room I usually do my favorite color scheme black and white, usually my more formal living room. The christmas tree is always in the same place as it's the only place large enough to hold the big tree I insist on getting each year.
You can always mix up stocking placement for example. Last year I wrapped our stockings around our kitchen island counter chairs.
I also like to include the kids when I can to make them feel like they were an integral part of the process. This year I bought a felt Christmas tree for my almost 2 year old to decorate her own tree (and hopefully avoid playing with the real one).
At the end of the day do what makes you feel happiest as early as you want. Just make sure you've got your favorite Christmas carols on blast in the background all season long!
