Minimalist Holiday Décor By Amber Bouthot
It’s easy to go overboard during the holidays, from presents and entertaining to fashion choices and decorating. But 2020 has seen a surge in the minimalist living movement — a movement that is all about living with less. This includes fewer financial burdens and getting rid of excess stuff. So how does that translate to holiday décor? Here are some tips and tricks — and photo inspiration, of course.
Select fewer, larger pieces
Larger pieces make a big visual impact without all the clutter. For example, ditch the gallery wall and choose one large piece of holiday artwork. Instead of a bunch of tiny candles and objects adorning the fireplace mantle, opt for a simple evergreen garland and one main decorative focal piece on top.
Focus on seasons, not holidays
To simplify your decorating, focus on the season rather than individual holidays. For fall, decorate with pumpkin and leaf décor that isn’t Halloween or Thanksgiving specific. For winter, stick with snow, stars and neutral white twinkle lights.
