5 ways to refresh your home decor for the holidays

5 ways to refresh your home decor for the holidays

With the holidays nearly here, your home is likely to host more guests. To ensure your living spaces are ready for the extra use, consider these five tips:

1. Upgrade your TV

When the nights get cold, your TV watching habits likely increase. With so many great holiday movies and TV shows, there's no shortage of content to watch with your loved ones. Since you'll be spending more time indoors until spring, now is the perfect time to upgrade your TV. A larger model with higher definition can enhance everything you love to watch.

2. Swap out your rugs

If you're tired of your feet getting cold on hardwood floors, it may be time to replace your area rugs. Not only can a new rug keep your toes warm when you get up in the middle of the night, but it can also reduce ambient noise and make your space feel more relaxing. If you have pets, consider a rug made of performance fabric that is more resistant to staining.

3. Add some warmth

Who says your home needs a chimney to have a fireplace? You can add luxurious heat to your family room with a media center equipped with an electric fireplace. Easy to install with no messy maintenance, you get all the benefits of a roaring fire, with none of the drawbacks. It's the perfect accompaniment to a cozy night with the people you love.

4. Increase your storage space

Whether you're expecting to receive many gifts this season or you just want to reduce the clutter around your home, consider adding more storage space in the form of a sleek platform bed frame with drawers. You can store all of your extra bedding here, as well as those presents you want to keep out of sight until the big day.

5. Swap out your guest room sheets

If you plan on hosting overnight guests this season, make sure they're comfortable by replacing cotton and silk sheets with warm flannel. This material is better at trapping and retaining body heat, so you guests won't have to wait long before they can drift off to sleep.
