Hosting for the Holidays? Make Your Home More “You!”

Celebrating the holidays with friends and families is one of life’s great joys. If you’re playing the host this year, you want to make sure the gathering is the best it can be. Being yourself and making sure your home reflects your own style is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. It’s always nice to hear someone say, “Your home is totally you!”

Create an Inviting Space for Friends and Family

The first elemental theme of your home is your personal love and warmth. You don’t need to have a spotless kitchen to make your guests feel welcome. Hosts set the tone for the get-together just by being themselves! That’s why it’s so fun to see how someone has taken the time and care to design their space around their unique style. We like to see people in their natural element.

Adding your personal touch to a few areas of your home can make it even better for the season. During the holidays, it’s a good idea to pay close attention to your centerpieces. Maybe you’ll want to spruce up the place with some candles on the fireplace mantel or your end tables. Some warm lighting and a rustic evergreen arrangement might be just your style.

Or, if you feel a little more posh, a bright fruit bowl on the dining table can help liven up your spread. A collection of oranges in a china bowl or on a silver platter can be so eye-catching this time of year. Want something a little bolder? You can always arrange some big feathers and eucalyptus branches in a ceramic pitcher on your kitchen counter. Your friends and family are sure to love whatever you do.

Add Personality with Your Statement Pieces

It’s always fun to experiment with your seasonal displays. But what about the furniture you use year-round? Now is a great time to take a look at how you’ve arranged your layout. Does it match your current style, or is it reminiscent of who you were years ago? Finding quality pieces that fit your personality today is probably the best way to feel truly “at home” in your home. And when someone says your furniture reflects your vibe, well, that’s one of the best compliments you can receive.

Maybe your family has been growing in recent years. You might be ready for a new dining table that can expand for the busy holiday season. Don’t ignore your living room either. Is your seating a little too basic? Is it even as comfortable as it should be? Considering some other

options for your accent chairs in the new year can help you fall in love with your home all over again. There’s no reason to neglect your home’s interior. That’s where we spend most of our favorite moments!

Just as we make upgrades to our home appliances and our backyard landscaping, we also want to give some extra care to how much we enjoy our furniture. Whatever it is you need, you’re sure to find that missing piece at Ennis Fine Furniture. Let our showroom inspire you to embrace your unique decorating style.
