A new addition to your home is a brand-new space to fill with holiday cheer. Whether you prefer subtle touches or bold and dramatic ones, there are endless ways to make it festive. Here are several decorating ideas to consider to make your addition merry and bright.
Add Seasonal Greenery
Seasonal greenery adds special touches. A Christmas tree, available in a wide range of sizes, can easily fit your space. You could also display garland, hang mistletoe, and showcase a wreath. If you have pets, make sure to keep real greenery out of reach for their safety.
Incorporate a Faux Fireplace
Display a faux fireplace in the room. It brings beauty without the risk of real flames, making it a good option for households with kids and pets. Many models let you customize various features like the flame color or heat, so you can personalize it to your preferences.
Create a Reading Nook
A cozy reading nook is the perfect space to curl up with a blanket and settle in with your favorite book. Put a small end table next to it for beverages and snacks. Place the chair in front of a window for natural light, and set up a floor lamp so that you can also read at night.
Paint a Holiday Accent Wall
Use temporary wall paint to create a holiday mural. If freehand painting isn’t for you, stencils are a fantastic alternative. They make it easy to create perfect designs. For instance, you could feature Christmas trees or holiday candies. When the holidays are over, you can peel the designs off. Before using the paint, test it on a small, inconspicuous area.
Set Up a Treats and Hot Beverage Station
Turn your addition into a special hideaway where you relax and enjoy your favorite treats and hot beverages. For example, dip butter cookies into hot chocolate or candy canes into dark roast coffee. Don’t forget the little extras, like chocolate squares, flavored syrups, and sugar. If you have enough space, you could even add a mini fridge.
Add Gorgeous Lighting
Incredible lighting options give your addition a cozy, wintry glow. For instance, you can hang soft white fairy lights along the ceiling and place solar lanterns throughout the room. Flameless candles add soft light without the fire risk.
