Decorating Simply and Tastefully For the Holidays

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we're just certain you're very excited to show off your holiday spirit with the best decorations around! But maybe you're just not feeling the typical Christmas decorations you usually fill your home with - snowmen and little Santa figurines. You can still decorate your condo tastefully and simply for the holidays. Check out these holiday decorating tips from Isla Del Sol!

Seasonal Scents
While candles are beautiful to look at and can make a great centerpiece for any room, you may not want to burn them for their scent because of the soot they put off. So instead, you can incorporate cinnamon sticks in your centerpieces and tuck them into your garland to add holiday fragrance to every room. You can also buy holiday scented plugins or delectable bars for your Scentsy warmer!

Cozy Colors
While reds and greens are the typical Christmas colors, you don't have to stick to these colors only. Some other great holiday colors are blues, silvers, golds, white, and natural neutrals. Mix and match to spice up your decor. The great thing about using some of these other colors is that you can extend your home decor into the new year and don't have to feel obligated to take it down immediately!

Re-purpose Ornaments
Skip the traditional wreath of reds and greens. Instead, put a fresh spin on the Christmas wreath and re-purpose old bulb ornaments of all sorts of colors! Get a wreath base from your local crafts store and glue those colorful bulbs of all colors and sizes on to make a glitzy glittery shiny wreath that will draw the eye and bring joy to your door!

Capture Photos
Turn any banister or mantel into a showcase of your favorite holiday family photos and Christmas cards. Decorate with garland and mix in some pine cones, then hang your pictures and cards with beautiful ribbons. Feel free to mix and match ribbons to add a little flair and tie in to your unique holiday decor!

With these suggestions, you can decorate your home simply and tastefully. No matter how you decide to decorate for the holidays, we hope that you have a joyous holiday season! Here at the most luxurious condos at the Lake of the Ozarks, we get really excited seeing what locals do with their holiday decorations, and we love seeing creative wreaths and decorations adorn the doors at the Lake. If you enjoy Holiday decor, come out and schedule a viewing for some inspirational and perfect sights of the wintry colors found at Lake of the Ozarks.
