How to enhance your modern furniture look with holiday decorations
So you’ve taken the plunge and redesigned your entire living room with a minimalist, modern look. And now you’re preparing for the holidays. What is the best way to decorate your living room and furniture without overdoing it and without ruining that modern effect you were going for? The main thing to remember is to keep it simple and not overdo it with a wide mix of colors.
A few holiday decorating tips for the minimalist
●A stylish centerpiece for your epopee could use a circle vase with a selection of holiday flowers. A tall vase filled with colored beads, berries, potpourri.
●Another option for your living room would be placing a small glass bowl in the center of your coffee table and place a mixture of pine and berries or festive potpourri. An interesting book would work well here as well for company to look at while visiting or to stimulate conversation.
●A candlebra adds nice holiday lighting on a high shelf or mantel.
●Don’t forget to declutter the room before you begin decorating. Maybe put away a few items until after the holidays to make room for a few holiday touches.
●A few red figurines add a nice splash of holiday color to the minimalist design.
● Pick one section or corner for a holiday display. Keep it simple. If you have a nice mantel, make that the focal point. A nice dresser or stand could also be the focal point.
● If you have white, minimalist-styled furniture, consider a white tree with blue lights for a modern look without garish lighting. Or opt for a smaller silver tree. Even consider forgoing the traditional tree for a more modern style such as a wall cutout of a tree, create a sculpture shaped like a tree or use tree branches and hang on the wall with a couple of smaller ornaments.
●Bring out the holiday in tasteful place settings. Add a silver vase to the dining table with faux blue and silver holly sprigs.
●Take a decorative bowl and place unique or treasured ornaments in the bowl on your coffee table.
●Simple color schemes are important. Pick one or two colors and carry it from your living room to your dining room to your office and even your bedroom for consistency. Take a look at the color scheme you have designed your living room or dining room in and think about holiday colors that will complement what is already there.
● Create a cozy Christmas corner with the tree next to a comfortable shag rug and a simple floor lamp, perfect for lighting up the moment you open your presents.
●Use that modern white side table as a place to display a few perfectly wrapped presents in your color scheme.
●Purchase snowflake cutout wall stickers and place strategically around the house or on windows.
●Use a hurricane glass and place it inside of a wreath and fill with balls or ornaments in the color scheme you have chosen as a centerpiece for your dining table.
●Keep it simple. You do not need to cover every inch of your living room or dining room with holiday decorations. A few simple touches will go a long way to making your home inviting while keeping a minimalist, modern look.
