The holidays may be over, but don’t pack away all those decorations just yet. Balsam Hill will show you unique and stylish ways to turn Christmas ornaments into home décor that can be used all year long.
Christmas Lights
Not ready to let go of your twinkling lights after Christmas? Because the soft luminescence of the winter solstice is still upon us until the spring, subtle accent lighting at home works as a wonderful way to keep the sparkle of the holidays in a cheerful way.
Create your own glamorous dressing room by framing an oversized mirror with white Christmas lights. Used as vanity lighting, twinkle lights can make your room look more stylish when all the other lights are turned off. Make the lights look more elegant by draping them in a generous fashion.
Pine Cones
Turn a bunch of pine cones into a beautiful coffee table décor. Just arrange the pine cones around a votive and secure them with some burlap or twine. You can also just sprinkle them with glitter and hang them on mirrors or windows for a lovely sparkle in your room. For a rustic centerpiece, put pine cones, twigs, and white pumpkins together in a clear vase or a wooden bowl.
Finial Ornaments
Repurpose a huge Christmas ornament into a rustic topiary. Apply a coat of plaster and several coats of paint and glaze to make your ornament look like old concrete. Place it in an old flower pot and add some moss for the final touch. You can also combine different colored glass orbs in an urn for a chic year-round decoration on your porch.
Evergreens
Evergreens bring natural charm to everyday home décor. Minus the festive holiday bows, these simple Christmas wreaths are a lovely addition to your living room walls. To give a bedroom the look and feel of an enchanted forest, try draping fragrant evergreen boughs around the canopy of a four-poster bed.
Holiday decorations may seem too festive and flashy to become everyday displays. Make these simple adjustments so you can enjoy their elegance and beauty all year round.
