Happy Holidays
Another simple way to bring cheer to the home is by appealing to the senses. “Fragrance is very important,” he said. “Make good use of seasonal candles, bowls of fresh citrus fruit or apples, and fresh evergreen cuttings throughout the home.” Dubrock’s biggest and probably simplest tip for the holidays is to rearrange your furniture. “It is a simple change that will be super high impact,” she said. “Move your furniture closer together in order to create conversation areas, which are so important for family dinners and get-togethers.” Allen added that including family memories, such as treasured family decorations, are simple and important touches during the holidays. “A touch of nostalgia always brings the memories of Christmas past to your current holiday.”
