Everyone wants their home to look its best when entertaining family and friends over the holidays.

At Smitty’s, we often get asked for our top tips when it comes to decorating homes for the holidays. To help you with this annual preparation, our interior decorating experts have put together a few of their top decorating tips:

#1. Add A Focal Piece of Furniture

Adding a new focal piece of furniture to your living room or dining room can make a big impact. You can easily transform the look and feel of a room by updating your sofa, dining table, or coffee table. By adding something new to your home, you will also refresh your space and create a ‘wow’ experience for your guests — even if they’ve been to your home before.

Adding statement furniture like a hutch, a sectional, or an oversized coffee table can make a big impact. Adding a console table or coffee table with a bold design is also an effective way to update your space in time for the holidays.

#2. Add Some Sparkle and Shine

Adding decorative items in glass, chrome, and bronze will give your home some gorgeous sparkle — the perfect elements to make your home shine over the holidays and throughout the winter season.

Try placing wall art, mirrors, vases, candle holders, and other shiny decorations throughout your home. These items can be used on coffee tables, side tables, dining tables, in hutches, or even on bathroom counters.

#3. Add Some Warmth

This is the perfect time to bring some warmth and coziness into your home — and this doesn’t mean adding a fireplace. There are many effective ways create warmth in your space.

Try adding throw cushions, throw blankets, or a new area rug. These changes can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your living room, dining room, or bedroom. Choosing leather furniture is also a great way to bring warmth and luxury into your home.
