Year-Round Seasonal Decorations To Try
Decorating for the seasons is quick and easy when you opt for timeless and versatile pieces. Here are some tips for home décor that will look good all year round.
1. Opt for a Neutral Base
FEATURED: WINTER EVERGREEN FOLIAGE
Choose a neutral palette for your walls and furniture to create a timeless look. Shades of white, cream, taupe, or gray work well on their own and look great when combined with other hues.
2. Consider Accent Colors
FEATURED: OUTDOOR SUMMER BREEZE FOLIAGE | OUTDOOR SPRING MORNING FOLIAGE
If you decide to add other tones to your home, select up to two accent colors or use multiple shades of your preferred hue. Incorporate these into smaller pieces like decorations and fabrics for a streamlined look.
3. Incorporate Natural Textures
FEATURED: VILLA CUCINA HANGING BASKET | BRIARWOOD COTTAGE ARRANGEMENT
Make a space feel cozy by using materials such as wood, wicker, and rattan. Fill wooden bowls with seasonal elements such as seashells in summer, turning leaves in fall, and pinecones in winter. Wooden crates and wicker baskets are also ideal for organizing pantry goods, fresh produce, books, toys, linens, and just about anything. Interchangeable pieces like these are practical additions to your home décor.
4. Decorate With Foliage
FEATURED: BH FRASER FIR® MEADOW GARLAND | OUTDOOR CYPRESS TOPIARY
Greenery instantly brightens up any space. Opt for versatile, undecorated foliage like potted plants, topiary trees, and wreaths, which will look great all year round and can be decked for special occasions. Choose pre-lit greenery to add a charming glow to your display.
For faux foliage that you will display on the door, porch, or yard, make sure that the items are outdoor-safe.
5. Use Light Fixtures
FEATURED: CLASSIC FAIRY LIGHT LANTERN | OUTDOOR CASCADING MICRO LED LIGHTS
Lights are great for setting the mood and warming up the home. To create enchanted evenings, hang up light strings and line up lanterns along pathways or steps. Set up a few candles, which make charming centerpieces when arranged in varying sizes, for tabletops and other surfaces. Choose scented candles fit for the season to enhance the overall experience.
