Decorating your house for the holidays is supposed to be fun, but sometimes the admin around it can become a chore. Here are four ideas to streamline and simplify your decorating this year.<\/p>\n
Use decorations you can keep out beyond New Year’s. <\/b>It can feel very laborious spending a day festooning your house knowing you’ll be taking them the decorations down again in a couple of weeks. How about replacing your felt Santas or Christmas baubles with less holiday-specific decorations, such as garlands of pine cones, acorns and evergreens that can stay for the whole winter season.<\/p>\n
Bring in the flowers! <\/b>Substituting flowers for the tinsel will not only give your house a beautiful facelift, it’ll also help you cut down on the clutter once the holidays are over. No more boxes filling the attic, just some stems to add to your compost.<\/p>\n
Don’t put things out for the sake of it. <\/b>Let’s be honest: some decorations are beautiful, while others can seem tacky, generic or a little boring. Don’t feel you have to put out as much as possible just because it’s what everyone else does. Only choose the things you truly love having around the place or things that you genuinely find beautiful.<\/p>\n
Resist the urge to buy new decorations if you don’t truly need them. <\/b>Chances are you already have plenty left over from previous years that will have been kept for a reason! Bring the festive spirit to the house by making use of what you already have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"article_category":[40],"class_list":["post-21173","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","article_category-real-estate-residential-canada"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/getreadynewsletters.com\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/21173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/getreadynewsletters.com\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/getreadynewsletters.com\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/getreadynewsletters.com\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getreadynewsletters.com\/members\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=21173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
