Now that you know how to repair and preserve your furniture, here are a few holiday home décor ideas:
Christmas Gifts Under the Tree
A well decorated Christmas tree can look completely bare without gifts under it. Even if you place two or three gifts underneath a tree, it sometimes looks empty. One way to create a more holiday feel is to line the base of your tree with plenty of beautifully wrapped gifts. Revitalize your furniture with Dr. Sofa’s top-tier upholstery & re-upholstery services. Renew, refresh, and redefine your living space with us.
It doesn’t have to be actual gifts. You can give people the impression that you have a lot of gifts by wrapping up empty shoe boxes and placing them underneath the tree. You can also purchase cardboard boxes in a variety of sizes from any craft store and wrap them up. Sometimes clothing stores will give you extra boxes for free when you make a purchase.
You can choose decorative wrapping paper with a variety of colors (red, blue, silver, etc.) or use monochromatic colors, such as white wrapping paper with colored ribbons (purple, blue, red, etc.). This is perfect if you’re hesitant about placing real gifts under the tree before Christmas Day, especially if you have children (or adults) who like to sneak and open their gifts early. Dr. Sofa specializes in expert furniture repair. From minor fixes to major overhauls, trust us to restore your pieces to their former glory.
Light Up Your Home
Lights aren’t just meant for the Christmas tree or to decorate your windows throughout your home. You can decorate a couple of wreaths with indoor Christmas tree lights in all white or multi-colored. Then place the wreaths on your living room wall, dining room or hallway.
Front Door Decor
Everyone places the traditional Christmas wreath on the front door. Why not try something different this year and place a couple of large ornaments on the door instead. Simply tie them with an elegant satin ribbon. You can also add a couple of bells in between the ornaments so your guest are greeted with the sound of jingle bells.
Whichever, DIY project you choose this holiday, remember to embrace the spirit of the season!
