Place a sparkling Christmas tree in front of a mantle that is adorned with fresh greenery and place a wreath above the fireplace, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/food\/holidays-occasions\/christmas-decorating-ideas-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern Living<\/a>. Or you could hang hand-knit stockings on traditional nails for a rustic look, highlighted by a mantel with a stack of gifts in the fireplace, suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/christmas\/indoor-decorating\/christmas-decorations-for-every-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Better Homes and Gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3950 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hallway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hallway.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hallway-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Hallway-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hallways<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your hallway has a small table, try adding a bowl of seasonal fruits and plants. A vase with long berry twigs next to a linear display of faux red or green pears will add plenty of winter drama to your home.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3951 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Centerpieces.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Centerpieces.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Centerpieces-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Centerpieces-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dining Room<\/strong><br \/>\nSpruce up the centerpiece of your holiday dinners with snowflake ornaments hanging at varying lengths from the chandelier. Drape some greenery dotted with red berries and pine cones to complete the look. Spruce up the look with miniature trees placed along the table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kitchen<br \/>\n<\/strong>You understandably need to make the most of your space. Keep the d\u00e9cor simple and out of the way. A simple reindeer sculpture or silhouette made out of lightweight metal or twigs can really make a statement. Hang green wreaths in your kitchen windows with stems of red berry for a traditional look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yard<br \/>\n<\/strong>In order to welcome your guests this holiday season, your outdoor display should be just as inviting as your indoor one. Line the path to your front door with paper luminaries, but use battery-operated tea lights or LEDs within the luminaries for safety.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3952 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Porch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"673\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Porch.jpg 673w, https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Porch-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.juddbuilders.com\/juddbuildersblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Porch-389x300.jpg 389w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Porch<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re lucky enough to have a large porch or even a farmer\u2019s porch, you simply must decorate for the holidays. Add some rustic aluminum containers on the corner of the steps and fill them with seasonal greens, herbs, holly berries, greens, pine cones, and red amaryllis blooms. Small faux pine trees decorated for the season can be detailed with baskets, satin ribbon, handmade ornaments.. Balance the look of your front door by placing one on each side.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easier than you think to impress your guests this holiday season with simple yet beautiful home d\u00e9cor.
