5 tips for afterChristmas décor Photo by Emil Vilsek on Unsplash
We’re all coming down off the high of the sparkle and swirl of the Christmas season, and the house can seem pretty bleak after all the shiny, festive decorations are put away. Luckily, there are a few ways you can add a bit of winter charm back into your home décor after the Christmas season has come and gone. 1. Neutralize the color palette. Put away all the décor that looks too Christmas-y. Usually this will be anything red or gold. Instead, start adding in more neutral tones like winter white, muted greens, or soft grays and blues. Don’t be afraid to keep a bit of the bling where it seems to work: pretty silver candlesticks or a gold mirror doesn’t scream Christmas and works well with the fresh, crisp palette of winter décor.

2. Add simple, natural elements. Once the Christmas tree and garlands are put away, the house can seem pretty lifeless. You can fix this by adding more life with fresh green houseplants and other natural elements like pine cones in a glass vase, birch logs stacked by the fireplace, or sprigs of pine or baby’s breath in a simple white pitcher.
