It’s about that time to start decorating for Christmas, and there's something truly magical about transforming your home and filling it with festivity. Sometimes, it's the simplest touches that make all the difference. In this blog post, we're sharing four tried-and-true ways to add an extra holiday touch to your home. These are the secrets we swear by when styling a home for Christmas, and we're excited to pass them on to you.

#1. Decorate Your Lighting

When it comes to creating a warm and inviting holiday atmosphere, lighting plays a crucial role. Take a closer look at your pendants, picture lights, and sconces—these can be elevated with just a few additions. Consider adding ribbons and stems to your lighting fixtures. It's a simple yet effective trick that can instantly bring a festive vibe in any room. Choose ribbons and stems that match your color scheme to keep things cohesive.

Here is an example of the process we follow to decorate a kitchen pendant:

Step 1: -Take two of our 18" Evergreen Picks and criss cross the stems together to combine them. Bend/curve them into the greenery portion of the pick.

Step 2: Layer two of our 21" Cream Berry Picks on top of the evergreen picks. Follow the same process of bending the stem.

Step 3: Add our Houndstooth and 1.5” Swiss Velvet ribbons to finish the look.
