Make The Season One To Remember: 5 Texas-Hot Holiday Season Home Decor Ideas

October 29, 2017

Every Texan knows that it won’t necessarily feel like fall just because November has arrived. While the rest of the country starts to cool off and change colors, the heat in the south stays put, and we usually can’t dust off our winter coats until December.

So, what can a fall-lover in the Rio Grande Valley do to bring in the autumn spirit? Decorate, of course!

A few decorations around your home can go a long way when you are craving pumpkins, autumn colors, falling leaves, or even an early-Christmas. Let Bonnie Harms Designs help you achieve a unique seasonal aesthetic with five Texas-hot holiday season decor ideas to spruce up your home for the holidays!

1. Holiday-Inspired Welcome Mats

Whether you live in a house, apartment, or condo, your welcome mat sets the tone for your home. One way to get your guests in the holiday spirit is to change your welcome mat. Depending on your mood, try one with a pumpkin patch or an apple orchard design. If you want to jump straight into Christmas, a welcome mat with a poinsettia or ornaments may be the way to go.

2. Centerpieces

Many of us value our family meals but don’t bother to decorate the dining room to match the season. A centerpiece (and maybe even some matching placemats) can bring the joy of autumn straight to your table. Some fun ideas for fall include using pine cones, leaves, or miniature gourds to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Add some holly or bells, and the same piece can double as a winter design.

3. Throw Pillows

Your living room, couch, and favorite recliner are probably some of the coziest places in your house. Consider investing in some seasonal throw pillows or blankets in warm colors, such as red, orange, and yellow. This idea is both adorable and practical since the pillows and blankets can keep you warm once the temperature drops.

4. Candles

The appeal of candles is twofold. They add a pop of color anywhere you place them, and they can make your home smell like grandma’s kitchen on Christmas Day all season long. A well-chosen candle can add a homey feel to your decorations and keep you and your loved ones in the spirit of the holiday season.

5. Wreaths

A one-of-a-kind wreath can spruce up your home like nothing else. Your front door is something no visitor can miss, and a welcoming wreath is sure to invite people in and make them feel right at home. At Bonnie Harms Designs, we create original wreaths to inspire those who love to decorate. We suggest wreaths featuring the following designs for the holidays:

Acorns
Pumpkins
Ornaments
Santa Claus
Orange flowers
White ribbons

In addition to making your own home look great, wreaths make fantastic gifts for your loved ones, especially during the holidays. Everyone loves a well-decorated home, and a personalized wreath is one way to signal your excitement for the holidays.

All of our items are handmade and can be customized to match your taste. With Bonnie Harms Designs, there is no need for cookie cutter images or dull, mass-produced home decor.
