A quick way to give your home a holiday kick is to switch our your art and photographs with Christmas-themed works.
Slip some holiday photos into the family frames that line your hallways. Use the prettiest Christmas cards you received last year or this year to spice up picture frames or small art frames.
Or buy holiday-themed posters to replace your larger art.
You’ll be surprised what a big impact the changes can make in your décor.
Plus, when the holidays are over and you return to the original photographs and art, it will be like you have something new again.
That’s why replacing your art with holiday themes is Tip #19 in our list of 25 decorating tips for Christmas.
