Decorating your Home with Seasonal Decor

Here are some easy inexpensive ways to incorporate some different seasonal items into your home.   Rotate every few months so your decor stays in line with the weather and time of year.

-Accent pillows (on Living Rm Upholstery or Master Bedroom Bed)

Change & rotate pillows based on seasons and holidays.   This is an easy way to introduce new colors, holiday or occasion touches.   At the holidays think jewel tones or metallics, at spring bring in soft pastels, for summer choose brighter colors like sun-drenched yellow and bright tangerine or cyan.

-Decor Vases at Kitchen Island or Dining Table. Gather a trio of clear tall glass vases at different heights; fill with seasonal decor items and change at each holiday or time of year.

Fill with bright or metallic ornaments at Christmas, wood or decoupage easter eggs at spring, seashells & sand at summer, fall leaves & branches at fall, etc.

-Add a wreath at your front door that reflects the time of year is always good.   Who doesn’t like a balsam fir wreath with a beautiful bow at the holidays or a pretty floral in the spring?

-Decorate plain simple green topiaries (interior or exterior) with decorations that fit the time of year.  A pretty red/white/blue ribbon at July, faux apple blossoms at spring, ornaments & bows at the holidays, etc.

-Bathroom Soaps. I love gathering french milled soaps or handmade soaps in seasonal scents and colors that fit the time of year. Use a fresh citrus or lemon in spring or summer, peppermint or wintergreen at winter, pumpkin or cinnamon in fall.

-Bedding & Linens. Flannel sheets and cozy brushed cottons are wonderful for cold winter nights, while crisp cotton percale or bamboo are perfect for spring & summer.   Rotate bed linens and top your beds with lightweight coverlet for spring & summer.   Utilize a duvet with feather insert or comforter for cozy winter evenings.   Heavier fabrics for winter wear and lighter cottons and bamboo fibers for spring & summer.
