Easy Ways to Switch Up Your Seasonal Décor

It’s that time of year when we go from the warm colours of fall to the spooky vibes of Halloween to the cozy feeling of Christmas, and if you like your home to reflect these changes, you might be overwhelmed with all the decorating! These tips will help you easily switch out key spots in your home to reflect the changing season while not overdoing it or giving you too much holiday fatigue.

If you want to make switching décor easier, it helps to focus on one big piece per room. Take the time to decide what in each room will reflect your current celebration. This could mean the couch cushions in your living room, the tablecloth on your dining table, or the piece of wall art in your hallway. By having this in mind ahead of time, it helps cut down on too many impulse purchases when all the décor hits store shelves.

The season for gathering around a big meal is here, and tablecloths are a great way to add a bit of festive punch to your dining room. Plus, they’re easy to swap out depending on the celebration, and you can find a wide range of textiles in every price range – that way the pumpkin carving can happen on a plastic covering while Thanksgiving dinner takes place on something a little higher quality.

Don’t be swayed by the decorative cushions that fill up your laundry room shelves – opt for covers instead! They’re easier to store and it’ll make switching out between holidays a breeze. Plus, you’ll be able to mix and match solid colours with more vibrant patterns to get the holiday mood that suits your space.

Whether you have an art print that reflects the season or family photos from the pumpkin patch and Santa’s village, one frame could be all you need to add a holiday touch to a highly visible wall. The trick is to match your art or photos to the one frame size, that way you can store everything behind your current selection, and you’re never searching for the next change up because it’s all in one place.

This one is great for kids – if you have a wall that you don’t mind covering in chalk paint, it could be a great way to add some holiday cheer in the form of your very own family art! Let your kids go wild with chalk, it all comes off with just one swipe of a wet rag (just be sure to keep everything on the one wall!)
