When the time comes to deck the halls in your home there are lots of ways to do this without spending too much of the funds you allocated for the holidays. Read on for some helpful holiday suggestions to dress your home up as merrily as possible!

Garland- Garland is not pricey to buy, and it is available in all of the colors of the rainbow. It is a versatile decorating item that looks great in many places in your home. Think fireplaces, windowsills, tables and your entertainment center. Use it to frame doorways, archways and entryways. It looks great on staircases and twirled around posts in your home. Choose popular Christmas colors such as red, green, silver and gold. Or create your own unique color combination!

Ribbons- Ribbons are basic decorating items that are elegant and suitable for many areas of your home. Choose red ribbons in different sizes, and tie them around lamps, doorknobs, bedposts, bureau drawers and cupboards. Mirrors also look beautiful with a simple ribbon attached to the top of them! Ribbons come in a variety of sizes from large to small, as well as a variety of colors. Choose red mixed with flecks of gold or silver, or choose green by itself or mixed with other traditional Christmas colors.

Christmas Ornaments- If you have too many Christmas ornaments for your tree, then don’t put them away for next year but instead use them to adorn your home. In particular, brightly colored Christmas balls look beautiful in baskets, vases and glass bowls. Display them on your kitchen or dining room table, coffee table, and tables in your entryway. Combine colored pine cones in silver or gold in an arrangement with Christmas balls and you have true Christmas pizazz!

Candles- Christmas and candles walk hand in hand, especially when the snow is falling gently outside. Create a cozy Christmas environment indoors by letting your imagination take over. Choose from traditional Christmas colors and a variety of sizes from tiny votives to tapers, pillars and floating candles. Arrange three pillar candles of different heights on a heat resistant candle plate, and place some Christmas balls around them for added emphasis. Instant Christmas elegance! Floating candles are an excellent choice when you have guests coming over. Make sure you use a heat resistant bowl, and don’t fill the bowl too full or you will soak the candles and they will not burn!
