Filling the Holiday Void

Is your home looking bare now that your holiday décor is down? Here are a few tips to soften some of the voids:

Where was your tree?

Front window: Does it feel like you’re living in a fish bowl after removing the tree? Adding window treatments such as panels or even a valance can not only introduce color and pattern, but it will also soften the harshness of the window. Have window treatments already? Try using this new space as an additional seating area. Consider adding a bench with arms or a small wood frame chair with a pillow.
In the corner: Was your tree in the corner like mine was? Boy is that corner sad without anything in it! What I did to fix this was bought 3 cool mirrors (from Fringe of course!), hung them one on top of another vertically, and then layered a wood frame chair in front of them…and it looks great!

Coffee and end tables looking sparse?

Now that the glitz and glam is put away until next season, it’s time to make those tables interesting again! Layer them up! Start by using a tray as an anchor piece and then layer the inside of the tray with small succulents, books, candleholders, flowers or decorative vases. You could also add that one show-stopping sculpture you love; I like to use skulls, tortoise shells or boxes.
Nobody likes a naked mantel.

Eeeek….bare to the bone! Now what do I put up there? I love using this trick for filling a mantel. Add a mirror above the mantel and, while I’m not one for mirrors above mantels alone, once you lean a piece of art against it and layer some accessories in front of it, you’ll gain a lot of interest! Don’t like the idea of a mirror? Try stepping outside the box by adding a set of antlers or a large metal art piece.
