After the Christmas season is over and the decorations are taken down, many people start to think their homes seem bare.  Some welcome this time as an opportunity for a fresh start to the New Year.  Others feel that without Christmas Decorations their homes are dull and boring, but what if you could make your home look as beautiful without Christmas Decorations?  Decorating for winter is one of the most popular ways to get rid of winter blues.  It's easy to do, and it can be done with little to no cost.

ELIMINATE THE RED CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS                        

PINE CONES

Winter decorating is about natural elements, and Pine cones are a great way to incorporate nature into your winter decor’. There are many uses of pine cones as decorations, and the winter decorating is one of them. A common idea is to put pine cones you have in a vase or small tray with candles so they can be utilized as a centerpiece or tabletop decoration or for a winter dinner setting.

BLANKETS,THROWS AND PILLOWS

You can change out the covers more frequently.  If you are really trying to save, you should look at the many different places around the internet that show how to make a throw pillow.

STRING LIGHTS

String lights aren't for the Christmas tree anymore. String lights are another light source

you can use for decorations. If you have clear lights leftover from Christmas you can use

in a jar or using with another decoration or alone. Those who want a fairy core aesthetic 

will love the twinkle of these lights.

WREATH

Plain wreaths are another Christmas item that can be used as winter decor.  Many find these

a great way to make the winter season festive. Transform holiday wreaths to winter wreaths
