6 Decor Ideas to Turn Your Space Into a Winter Wonderland
Since it's officially December, it's the perfect time to start decorating your home for the holidays. After all, a little decor can go a long way to make Christmas more exciting and memorable for the whole family.
Are you unsure where to start with your decor this year? Look no further. We've gathered the best ideas to transform your home into a winter wonderland with these six items.
Fairy (or Christmas) Lights
You can instantly make any space more cozy with the optimal lighting. During Christmastime, we warm up our home from the cold temperatures with golden lighting. We often recommend incorporating twinkling fairy lights across your walls or draped across the curtains. If you want to make it even more fun, you can use Christmas lights instead, which will also add a pop of color to your room.
Gingerbread Houses
With a gingerbread house, you can knock out two birds with one stone. You can make a core memory between you and your loved one as you attempt to construct your dream gingerbread house. It's surprisingly more challenging than most expect! Instead of eating it when you're done, you can display it on your countertop for a few days.

Festive Candles
Don't underestimate the power of fragrance. Adding a winter candle to your room can make your Christmas experience more immersive, and you can channel a completely different vibe with the scent you chose! For example, candy canes offer a more youthful energy with bright peppermint notes. If you want something more sophisticated, opt for woodsy myrrh.

Garlands
Nothing says Christmas like garland. These days, you can carefully select garlands to match your aesthetic. If you want something classic, you might want a simple green strip to hang near your fireplace. Anyone who's celebrating Pinkmas this year can find a perfectly pink one to add to their staircase. The possibilities are truly endless.

A Miniature Christmas Tree
We all know that putting up a Christmas tree is a full-day event. Whether you don't have the space for a tree or simply aren't in the mood to decorate, a miniature Christmas tree can be a great alternative. It still maintains the wintery, festive vibes without the excessive work. And you might be able to do small ornaments, too!

Poinsettias
There aren't many flowers you'll find during Christmas. However, you'll always spot the classic poinsettia. This Indigenous Mexican flower is perfect for the holidays because of its bright red hue. Plus, if you maintain good care of them, you can keep them for years.
