It’s almost that time of the year when people around the world look forward to celebrating - Christmas! It’s a special season that exudes joy and cheer, love and affection, generosity and selflessness, and lots of warmth (despite the cold weather). It’s the ultimate occasion that we like to make special in every possible way through the food we serve, the gifts we give, the clothes we wear, and of course, the decorations we put up. Nothing ushers in the season quite like a festively decorated home!
Just like Easter and Halloween, there are certain themes, colors, and items that are usually put in place to make the season more felt. Christmas colors are an abundance of red, green, and white with hints of gold and silver here and there. You’ll see more natural elements indoors like holly, berries, pine cones, twigs, and even snow (the artificial one, of course). You’ll see Santa and his reindeer everywhere, even though it’s not yet Christmas Eve. You’ll also see the rest of the traditional Christmas characters like elves, polar bears, and snowmen.
Decorations are a means of sharing old traditions with kids and adults alike about what the season means and how it is celebrated. Since it only comes once a year, make it a time that will be unforgettable for yourself and your family.
It may only be the first week of December but it’s not too early to decorate. We at Steinmart have several items that will help you create the right tone for your home and set the mood for the Christmas season. Add holiday touches that will brighten your space and increase the Christmas cheer.
Accent Pieces
Accent pieces add points of interest to your home. They’re usually eye-catching, special, and even one-of-a-kind. Usually, you can have about a few of these pieces placed in main spots like the foyer, on the living room coffee table, or on the dining room buffet table. These special pieces can be tabletop items, centerpieces, or even wall hangings. Pick one that will suit your personality best.
Pillow Covers
Themed pillow covers give an easy holiday touch to your living room, bedroom, or cozy corners. They add color to neutral bases like your sofa or your bed. What’s great about our selection of pillowcases is the texture of the 3D elements that are part of the design.
