5 Ways to Make Your Home Look Bigger During the Holidays

1. Minimize Décor

While you’ll likely want to put up holiday decorations, overdoing them can make your home look crowded and cluttered. Choose only a few seasonal statement pieces that create the mood you want. Also, try to decorate with functional items, such as seasonal throw pillows, red and white quilts, and doormats adorned with festive messages.

2. Capitalize on Natural Light

3. Choose a Skinny Tree

The size and shape of your Christmas tree will determine how open your living room feels. For example, trees with wide bases can take up too much floor space. By contrast, choosing a tall tree with a skinny profile will allow you to save floor space while accentuating the height of the room.

4. Keep Windows Clean

Keeping blinds or other window treatments open can help add depth to an interior by giving a view of the outdoors. Dirty glass, however, will compromise this clarity and only make the size of the room more apparent. Clean your windows regularly and install outdoor awnings to keep debris from the surface.

5. Wait to Put Out Presents

Putting wrapped gifts out is one sure way to get your loved ones excited about the holidays. Unfortunately, these presents add clutter to the room ahead of the big day, so it’s best to wait to put them on display.
