There are subtle ways to sing the praises of the season and embrace its beauty while still maintaining an air of elegance and decorative flair.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Hue or Two.<\/strong> Begin by choosing a color theme and keeping it to one or two hues for a consistent, overall holiday presentation. Complement your current interior design color choice for a decidedly defined ambience. And keep decorations to an impressive few, instead of filling up every open space with a multitude of festive accents \u2013 sometimes more can be less of a good thing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Elements of Surprise.<\/strong> Let everyday items take a holiday and welcome in seasonal magic by swapping out common items like welcome mats, door wreaths, pillows and throws for festive ones. But beware, holiday kitsch can run amuck at the height of the season. Sure, novelties can be fun, but they\u2019re best reserved as a single conversation starter or in rooms where the kiddos tend to hang out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Twinkle in Their Eyes.<\/strong> Draw attention with a dazzling display of monotone lights both inside and out for maximum impact and a cohesive look to your holiday d\u00e9cor. Remember that lighting is a mood maker and can create an inviting experience. Whether you add warmth to a room with wick-burning or battery-powered candles, or low-watt amber glass and vintage Edison bulbs, thoughtful lighting adds the perfect touch when celebrating the coziness of the season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tie It All Together.<\/strong> For a professional, polished look, keep your theme consistent by repeating key elements of your holiday d\u00e9cor in all the rooms of your home. If you\u2019re planning on wrapping gifts that will be on display, match the wrapping paper to your decorations. Weave the same color or patterned gift ribbon throughout your home, from packages and wreaths to centerpieces. Indulge your olfactory sense \u2013 introduce a favorite scent that will linger from room to room and further enhance the allure of the season through fragrant candles, infused oils or even the earthy essence of cinnamon sticks simmering in a pot of boiling water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the song says, it\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year, so share in the enchantment of the season. Make your home just as magical. Sprinkle in a bit of your own fairy dust to make an intriguing statement with a nod to your traditions but in your own inimitable style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/holiday-presence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Holiday Presence<\/a> by Gustavo Gonzalez | Coldwell Banker Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Tis the season to deck your halls and ring in the holidays with festive sophistication \u2013 and not necessarily with all the bells and whistles that come with it.
