Holiday Home Decorating Essentials

By Fran Campbell - December 02, 2015

The Christmas season is officially upon us, which means that it's time to start decorating for the holidays. For those of you that are planning on hosting holiday celebrations with family, friends, or co-workers, Christmas decorations are a beautiful way to dress up your home. If you're currently trying to sell your house at the Lake of the Ozarks, decorating your home is absolutely essential. Christmas decorations are the perfect way to round out your home staging efforts.

No matter what your reasons are for decorating your home for the holidays, Fran Campbell Team is here to help you! Keep reading for a quick overview of this year's (and every year's) holiday home decorating essentials.

Christmas Lights

Twinkle lights are possibly the most classic form of Christmas decorations. These bright, cheery lights are a great way to welcome visitors to your home and grab the attention of every driver who passes by your house. If you are selling your house, hanging Christmas lights is a guaranteed way to play up your holiday curb appeal.

Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree is the heart of all holiday decorating efforts. Because you can pick from so many different ornament styles (handmade ornaments, colored glass ornaments, icicle ornaments, cartoon ornaments, and more) your tree is your perfect opportunity to showcase your family's unique style and taste. If you are decorating your home to accent your staging efforts, however, we recommend sticking with neutral ornaments that are not specific to you or your family.

Christmas Candles

There's nothing like the warm glow that comes from a Christmas candle. Even if you choose not to burn them, displaying candles around your home can be a great way to enhance your Christmas décor. If you are selling your house, we recommend that you do not leave burning candles while buyers are visiting your home. Rather, try decorating with electric candles and/or burn a Scentsy to make your home smell great.

Christmas Tinsel

Tinsel is possibly one of the most versatile forms of Christmas decorations currently available. You can drape it your Christmas tree, wrap it around your banisters, hang it around your door/window frames, and anywhere else you can think of. To make it even more festive, try using different colored tinsel in different places.

Cookie Jar

Christmastime is famous three things: holiday spirit, quality time with friends and family, and sweet treats! Holiday cookie jars are an adorable way to add extra Christmas cheer to your tables and/or countertops - and they'll give you another excuse to keep delicious cookies on hand throughout the holiday season.
