Though many of us won\u2019t be visiting distant family this year, we can bring the holidays right into our homes with seasonal decor. Here are tips for decking your halls\u2014and your windows, doors, tables, bedrooms, and bathrooms too!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once our stomachs are stuffed, and the conversation runs its course, it\u2019s nice to stand up and have a change of scenery.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Doorways into Christmas<\/h2>\n


\nDoorways are a holiday decor hotspot. During the holidays, they\u2019re like a gateway into the Christmas splendor of your home. The decorations can start right on your <\/span>front step<\/b> with holiday planters<\/a> and garlands around your porch pillars. <\/span>Window <\/b>wreaths and Christmas <\/span>mailbox<\/b> swag prepare us for more magic within. The <\/span>front door<\/b> is not the only place for bells, <\/span>lights<\/span><\/a>, and evergreen crafts, either\u2014the <\/span>back door<\/b> and <\/span>garage door<\/b> are waiting for garlands, wreaths,<\/a> and ribbons, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chef\u2019s Workshop<\/h2>\n


\nOnce inside, the aroma wafting in the air is sure to bring your guests into the kitchen. For them, this is a glimpse inside a master\u2019s workshop. For you, it\u2019s a place where many holiday memories occur; from the shortbread bake-a-thon, to gingerbread house construction, to cooking the turkey dinner! Flowering bulbs on the <\/span>kitchen island<\/b> make a festive touch, as do evergreen boughs<\/a> on top of the <\/span>cabinets <\/b>and miniature wreaths on <\/span>cabinet doors<\/b>. But your indoor <\/span>decor theme<\/span><\/a> often starts here, too, whether that\u2019s with festive tea towels or accent pieces with a Christmas farmhouse vibe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Feast at the Table<\/h2>\n


\nWhen the dinner bells ring, it\u2019s time to gather around the <\/span>table<\/b>. As this is one of the biggest feasts of the year, there is no need to hold back on your table decor. Candles, pine cones, and red berries are all fair game, as well as your Mr. and Mrs. Claus salt and pepper shakers. However, all of that is just stage support for your <\/span>centerpiece<\/b>, a feast for the eyes that compliments the meal on your plate. Perhaps you\u2019ve crafted your own with incense cedar and eucalyptus or purchased one with candles, juniper, and pine boughs. Beneath it, your tablecloth and table runner supply the all-important color and theme for the room, as well as the necessary drop sheet for the splatters of gravy and cranberry sauce that will soon be enjoyed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Heart of the Home<\/h2>\n


\nOnce our stomachs are stuffed, and the conversation runs its course, it\u2019s nice to stand up and have a change of scenery. Those vague, undefined places called a living room or family room exactly serve the purpose at hand. During the holidays, they host our tree, are the focal point of our celebrations, and serve as a holiday decor hotspot. Even if it\u2019s just you and your cohort, the living room is sure to offer many <\/span>coffee tables<\/b> and <\/span>bookshelves<\/b> to decorate with your favorite <\/span>poinsettias<\/span><\/a> and Christmas pillows. The whole room can become a theatre for your holiday theme. No <\/span>bar cart<\/b> or <\/span>mantelpiece<\/b> need be left unadorned by ribbons, holly, and juniper.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bathroom: A World of Its Own<\/h2>\n


\nBesides having an apparent functional purpose, bathrooms are also a place where we break from the crowd to relax and collect our thoughts. Obviously, they should feel separate and private. As such, their decor need not be continuous with the rest of the home. In fact, the most charming bathrooms give us the sense of entering another world. The mood is often soothing and intimate, complete with a scented<\/a> candle, potpourri dish, fresh evergreen boughs<\/a>, or fresh flowers. The <\/span>countertop<\/b> is perfect for orchids, amaryllis, or a miniature garden. A uniquely themed set of towels, rug, and shower curtain add to the ambiance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holiday Bedrooms\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n


\nThis is always the last room we enter at night and the first we see in the morning. The holiday decor here is just for you and your partner. It\u2019s the place where you can unabashedly indulge in your holiday gnome obsession or dote on your beloved Christmas <\/span>succulent<\/span><\/a> wreath. No color is inappropriate, no holiday fantasy is out of reach, and you don\u2019t need to follow any decor rules. Whatever pleases you most is the best decoration for the <\/span>bedroom<\/b>!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
