Christmas might be the most wonderful time of the year for those who celebrate it. But it’s really hard to deny the love for twinkling lights, sparkling decoration and festive colors sprinkled everywhere. The magic of Christmas can be so strong, a post-Christmas depression may set in for some after all the decorations are put away. However, there are a few ways you can use your holiday décor all year-round. Finding items that don’t scream Christmas can be left out for good.
You can probably pack away anything that is sporting jolly ‘ol Saint Nick, stockings, poinsettias, and mistletoe. But you can get away with leaving out the snowmen, reindeer (without Rudolph), snowflakes, and snowy accents for a little longer.
Decorate your home with neutrals and metallic elements for the holidays- blue and silver or any other color combination used to convey Christmas. These items could still work throughout the year
Try not to use too much green and red together. People tend to associate those colors with Christmas.
Leave out Christmas décor that doesn’t necessarily look specific to Christmas. Clear glass hurricane vases can be used all year-round with a few tweaks. Fills them with colorful bulbs for the holidays, sand and candles for a summer centerpiece or acorns and pinecones for fall.
Use string lights all year-round on your patio. There’s no need to pack up your Christmas lights if you enjoy a soft cozy glow.
Metallic ornaments can be displayed all year when mixed in a bowl or glass vase with other natural materials like seagrass, twine, or wood.
