Holiday Decorating - Mansfield, OH - Haring Realty

A lot of people will be celebrating the holiday season differently this year. To reduce the spread of COVID-19, many families are choosing to stay at home and are having get-togethers via video chat. Just because you aren't entertaining in a traditional way, it doesn't mean you shouldn't decorate your home for the holidays. Our REALTORS® know that this is a challenging time for everyone, including those with Mansfield homes for sale. Whether you're buying, selling or staying put, these tips for creative holiday decorating can lift your spirits and put you in a festive mood.

  • Go Green
    Exploring eco-friendly décor isn't just good for the planet—it's a fun way to mix things up and let your imagination run wild. Two cool sustainable ideas for holiday decorating are wrapping presents in fabric instead of paper or using brown paper bags for wrapping paper. It's a great way to get kids involved—they can use colored pencils or markers to create their own designs on the outside of the paper.
     
  • Keep it Natural
    Fresh wreaths, garland and boughs have always been popular for holiday decorating, but you can use much more of nature's bounty to make the inside and outside of your home pop. In addition to traditional pine, using bare branches, raw wood, burlap, fresh and dried flowers and other plants to decorate your front door, porch banister and holiday table add a unique flair you can call your own. Beeswax candles are a great way to complement this look and provide a warm glow on your mantle or table.

  • Deck Our Your Front Door
    Wow your neighbors by paying special attention to your front door this year. A classic green wreath with a red bow always looks nice, but there are tons of other ways to decorate your front door in style. Don't hesitate to experiment with different shapes, materials, and colors. Bring a little vibrancy to your holiday by using rainbow-colored balls interspersed with your wreath and boughs. You can use all kinds of materials to make wreaths and other decorations for your door—from wine corks to scarves to jar lids. Another pretty way to make your door and windows pretty is to cut out paper snowflakes and put them on windowpanes.

  • Light it Up
    String lights definitely bring on the holiday cheer and are a fairly inexpensive way to make a bold statement. There are countless types of lights out there, including classic white, multicolored, and shapes like snowflakes, icicles, stars, and red chili peppers. You can even make your lights the foundation for a theme. There's also nothing like classic candle lights in the windows to give your home a warm, inviting glow at night.

  • Think of a Theme
    Love the beach, boating, going to the library? Choose a favorite theme and run with it for your holiday decorations. For example, if you're into cars, consider decking out your tree with little vehicles, tires, and other car-themed ornaments. Putting a racetrack under your tree instead of a train can really pull this look together.
