Can you believe it’s almost Christmas??\u00a0 I can’t even…I have a new house this year and I’ve been kicking around the idea of changing my Christmas decor style up a bit.\u00a0 I was looking back through previous blogs and came across this gem. There’s some good info here about Christmas Styles and how to determine which one suits your personality most.\u00a0 I still think I lean toward the Eclectic style with some Vintage thrown in there.\u00a0 Knowing your style truly does make shopping a lot easier.\u00a0 So, what’s your Christmas Decorating Style?<\/p>\n

It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t you just love decorating for the holidays?\u00a0 I do.\u00a0And if you\u2019re like me, your Christmas d\u00e9cor has a theme of some kind.\u00a0 It might be color coordinated or actually portray a specific style.\u00a0 There are so many ways to decorate for the holidays, seriously.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about what speaks to you, what gets you in the Christmas spirit.\u00a0 Last year I touched on several Christmas D\u00e9cor Styles on my Interior Design by Unique Painting KC, Facebook page. \u00a0I was a little shocked at how much engagement I received from those posts.\u00a0 Really though, each of us have memories ingrained in our brain of holidays past.\u00a0Something as simple as a Christmas ornament can bring those memories to the forefront of our mind in such great detail that you might feel like you\u2019ve been plopped in the middle of one of those Hallmark Christmas movies.<\/p>\n

Starting Out<\/h3>\n

When I moved from my parent\u2019s house so many years ago, I was a broke twenty-year-old.\u00a0\u00a0 With each season, my mom would go through her decorations and give me items that she was no longer using.\u00a0 My grandma did the same.\u00a0 I had a house full of free decorations that my broke behind basically saved from being sent to the trash or Goodwill.\u00a0 I still have quite a few of those sentimental items, they actually set the foundation of what my Holiday Design Style would evolve into. Keeping those memories alive each season, my friends, is why your holiday d\u00e9cor is important.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure most of you have a similar story.\u00a0 You may just be starting out, or you may be sick to death of what you currently have and are ready to chuck it all, start fresh.\u00a0 I feel you.\u00a0 So, today I want to review the 6 Christmas D\u00e9cor Styles that are most identified with.\u00a0Why does it matter?\u00a0 Well, if you know your Holiday Decor Style, shopping for items to round out your project will be much, much easier.\u00a0 You also might sound like you\u2019re an HGTV overachiever, but who cares?\u00a0 Either way, you\u2019re going to sleep much better knowing where you stand.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be collecting d\u00e9cor and reminiscing like a boss.\u00a0Are you Traditional, Vintage, Rustic, Modern, Glamorous, or Eclectic?\u00a0 Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n
