But since most of us will not be attending the usual holiday parties this year, bringing the glitz and glam INSIDE your house is a must.\n\nAdd battery-operated, twinkling lights to your wreaths and centerpieces. I&#8217;ve found that this always makes your inner child smile even brighter! You can also experiment with shiny beads, colorful confetti that resembles diamonds, and <a href=\"\/2020\/04\/refresh-your-home-while-socially-distancing-with-these-5-tricks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">even glitter<\/a>.\n\nMy point is, have fun with it![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Update with Spray Paint<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]One of the easiest interior decorating tips for the holidays is to use what you already have &#8211; but give it a color update!\n\nWe all have old decorations that we stopped using eons ago. Maybe it was because the color or <a href=\"\/2020\/08\/10-interior-decorating-trends-im-completely-over\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trend was no longer stylish<\/a>. But what if you were update that color to something that <em>is <\/em>popular right now?\n\nYou can always try a new color combination that you never had the courage to experiment with before. Since it\u2019s just you (and perhaps your immediate friends or family) this year, what&#8217;s the worst that can happen? Take a chance and give it a try!\n\nSure, you might wind up hating the color, but at least now you know. And if that&#8217;s the case? Simply spray paint the item gold. Trust me, you can never have too many shiny, gold ornaments around the house.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;21817&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Kids-Only Christmas Tree<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]One positive way we can look at this Christmas is that you won\u2019t have the pressure of making your home \u201cjust perfect\u201d for guests. Since this is the case, allow your kids to decorate the tree!\n\nAdding a kids-only Christmas tree is a great way to involve the smallest members in your household in your interior decorating decisions. They can incorporate old toys that you were going to donate, or string popcorn while you all watch a holiday movie together. Creating ornaments out of straws, clay, and other art supplies is sure to keep them busy most weekends.\n\nWhen it comes to interior decorating, kids are a valuable resource rarely utilized. After all, they&#8217;re SO creative in their designs. Through the eyes of a child, the <a href=\"\/2015\/11\/holiday-decor-transitioning-from-thanksgiving-to-christmas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">opportunities to get creative<\/a> will always be endless![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Christmas Window<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]If decorating a tree is not really on your list of things to do this holiday season, how about a holiday window instead?\n\nAdd decorated garland to the top of your curtain rod. Next, hang colorful ornament balls from the rod at different lengths. Use fishing line to give the illusion that the ornaments are suspended in the air. Slide the ornaments left and right to make them appear randomly placed.\n\nWe all know that the best <a href=\"\/2020\/09\/the-5-best-skills-your-interior-decorating-certification-will-give-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interior decorating<\/a> features are always the ones that look like it took\u00a0<em>no<\/em> effort.
