It's all well and good to have some decorations picked out in a color scheme that you like, but you still need to know how to best use the decorations. Just placing them wherever you feel like it is bound to make your house look messy, with some areas having too much going on, and other areas having too little.
Have a lot of space to decorate? => Have consistency
If you find yourself needing to decorate quite a lot of rooms in your home, you might be worried about keeping it all looking tidy and well thought out.
Find one or two aspects of the décor that you want to appear in every room.
For example, you may decide to incorporate silver glittery ribbons into the decorations found in every single room, while changing the setup of everything else.
This is a subtle way to retain consistency and a cohesive end result without having the exact same decorations in the whole house.
Don't have a lot of room? => Focus on the basics
If you have a bit of a smaller space to work with, just try to stick to the most festive decorations, or your favorite ones if you have them.
You won't need hundreds of baubles and figures littering your home - instead, focus on some nice garlands and the occasional decorative ribbon.
Whatever you do, try your best to place decorations high off the ground, e.g. don't put fake snow on the ground but on windowsills - decorations taking up the floor space will make the room appear smaller and messily cluttered.
