Best Feeds Garden Center Holiday Decorating Check List

Pick a color theme (it makes everything feel cohesive) A color palette helps tie the whole house together. Try:
Classic: red + green + gold
Wintery: silver + white + icy blue 
Cozy natural: greens + browns + warm white lights
Modern: black + gold + champagne
Even if you mix styles, repeating colors keeps things looking intentional.

Layer lighting for cozy ambience
Light is the fastest way to make your home feel festive. Use warm white lights for a soft glow. Add battery-operated candles on mantels, windows, or tables. Wrap tiny fairy lights around garlands or tuck into glass jars.
Tip: Avoid mixing cool and warm white lights in the same area—they clash.

Use natural greenery for a fresh look
Fresh pine, cedar, or eucalyptus branches look beautiful and smell amazing. Ideas: Add greenery to mantels, stair rails, and around doorframes. Mix in pinecones, ribbon, or dried oranges. If using faux garlands, tuck in a few fresh clippings for realism.
