Simple Ways to Personalize Holiday Décor

What do the holidays mean to you? It’s a special time of year for many people, and many of us share similar tastes and traditions when it comes to how we decorate and celebrate. But if you’re craving something different this year, personalizing your holiday décor can be a great way to put a fresh face on the season.

Here are a few ideas for placing a personal stamp on your holiday, from decorations to home décor:

Holiday Murals

Wall murals are a time-honored design trick for completely changing the look of a room. Imagine an idyllic, snow-covered landscape as a backdrop for this year’s Christmas tree. Or perhaps you would like to spice up your New Year’s party with a New York City scene in your dining room. Since you might not want those scenes gracing your walls year-round, removable murals could be a great way to personalize your holiday décor.

Do-It-Yourself Decorations

No purchased holiday decoration could ever be more personal than something you make yourself. Fortunately, do-it-yourself holiday decoration projects can be as simple or as grand as you like.

You can opt for easy personalized projects, such as putting family members’ names on holiday stockings or tree ornaments, or decorating some dollar-store picture frames with holiday colors and accoutrements. Or, you can go for high-impact with a larger personalized project, such as creating a wrapping paper wall in one room of your home.

Holiday Hues

Green, red, silver, and gold will always have their place in holiday décor, but celebrating the season doesn’t mean you have to give up your love of teal, chartreuse, or lemon yellow. In fact, incorporating your favorite non-holiday colors into your holiday décor is a great way to personalize your home’s look for the season.

Home décor stores now carry a wealth of holiday decorations and ornaments in non-traditional colors, and incorporating them into your home is as simple as finding creative ways to use what’s available. Perhaps your salute to your favorite colors will be subtle, such as napkin rings that boast your most-loved shade of blue, or a hint of pink or orange in your holiday wreath. You can also make a bold, modern statement by emphasizing non-traditional colors throughout your décor and using traditional holiday hues in supporting roles.
