Between work, home and family obligations, sometimes there is little time to do more. However, according to the folks at About, Inc., if you start simple, build traditions, and try not to overdo it, decorating authorities say you'll be able to add sparkle to your home without getting overwhelmed. The first idea is to put bows on everything. Adding bows to candlesticks, wreaths, garlands, basket chair handles, draper backs, houseplants or doorknobs not only look festive, but tie together a decorating theme throughout the house. Use holiday tableware for every meal in December. Get out your holiday dishes and use them each day. Dishes may be purchased one or two new place settings every year, or try a new pattern each purchase-making a wonderful display on a table of holiday mementos. Turn off the lights and light a fire each evening. Dine by candlelight, even if youre having pizza. Just be cautious of children you may want to wait a few years before using lots of candles. Add wTeaths. A wTeath or swag on the front or back door, inside or out, on the mantle, or in all of your front windows. ..and decorate them with everything imaginable.
