When is it the right time to start decorating for Christmas & Holiday season?
The right time to start decorating for Christmas depends on personal preference, cultural tradition, and your own seasonal excitement — but here are a few common starting points:
October: Not a Halloween ghoul? Get ahead of the holiday madness and start bringing out your Christmas and holiday decorations during October. This can allow you to mix Harvest and Holiday together and shopping early makes sure you get the hottest and trendiest items before they sell out!
Early November: Many people begin right after Halloween. This gives you nearly two full months to enjoy your décor, especially if you’re passionate about Christmas or have indoor trees and displays that take time to set up.
After Thanksgiving (late November): This is the most traditional time in the U.S. — typically starting the weekend after Thanksgiving. It’s when many stores, cities, and neighborhoods launch their holiday décor.
December 1st: If you’re more minimalist or want a shorter decorating season, the start of December is still early enough to enjoy the ambiance without it feeling too early.
What is the best places to hang Christmas wreaths in my home?
1. Front Door: The most classic place for a Christmas wreath, it’s the first thing guests will see and sets the tone for your home’s seasonal décor.
2. Mantel: A wreath above the fireplace adds a welcoming, festive touch and can complement other seasonal decorations in the room.
3. Windows: Hanging wreaths in your windows is a great way to add seasonal cheer both inside and outside, creating a warm and inviting look.
4. Entryway or Hallway: Adding a wreath to a wall or door in your entryway or hallway helps bring seasonal beauty to areas your guests will pass through.
5. Dining Room: A wreath on the dining room table or wall adds elegance, especially for holiday meals or family gatherings.
6. Staircase: Hang wreaths on the bannister or along the railing to add a decorative element that enhances the entire staircase.
How many times should I refresh my seasonal decor in my home during the second half of the year?
Start in early September by bringing in cozy fall touches—think warm tones, pumpkins, and natural textures that celebrate harvest season.
As October approaches, layer in Halloween accents like spooky silhouettes, black cats, and playful frightful elements.
Once November begins, you can transition to rich autumn hues and Thanksgiving-inspired décor to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for gatherings OR you can skip harvest and just right into the prime Christmas decor season. It’s time to bring out the magic of Christmas with tree decorating, lights, garlands, and holiday sparkle. Whether your style is classic, whimsical, or woodland-inspired, refreshing your décor with the rhythm of the seasons keeps your home feeling joyful and beautifully in tune with each moment.
