With the holidays fast approaching, the hustle and bustle is about to begin. It can get quite stressful.
Meals to plan…
Friends and family to host…..
Cleaning to get done…..
Holiday parties to attend…..
Gifts to purchase….
The list could almost go on and on.
Decorating your home, to make it feel warm and cozy does not need to be stressful…. at all!
Lets talk about 3 fail proof holiday decor ideas!
*A huge thank you to Pier 1 for sponsoring this post! My favorable opinion of all things that help me decorate my house to make it look oh so fabulous, are my own. For more information, see my disclosures here.*
#1 Signs
I am a huge… huge…… huge…… fan of signs.
They are easy to find and make….
They are easy to store…..
Plus, they are super easy to swap out with the seasons! It doesn’t get any better than that!
Chalk board signs are one of my favorites. They can go with almost any decor too. Find a fun sign and add it to your decor this year, you will be pleasantly surprised at the festive feel it brings.
#2 Wreaths
Wreaths are another great option for a quick update. Who says that a wreath only needs to be on the front door? Not me!
I have been adding wreaths inside my home to coordinate with my regular decor, forever…it seems.
This faux fur wreath is a great example of a wreath that can be used year round.
#3 Pillows
I probably should have listed this one first….pillows are my favorite. Talk about a quick fix. Pillows can be bold and bright or neutral. Either way they are sure to spruce up the look and feel or your home.
An instant festive look!
Plus, love all the bead detail on this pillow.
There you have, 3 fail proof ways to decorate your home!
As a side note, I have not finished decorating the tree yet….
It’s half way there…. does that count?
Luckily, I have a few of these and some of this help me finish up around the tree!!

Beth @ Sawdust and Embryos says
Shonee… this room is BEAUTIFUL! I love your tasteful use of plaid. I feel like it gets over-used, but you implemented it perfectly!
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks Beth! To be honest this was my first year using it. I was a little unsure in the beginning but I really love how it turned out!
Rose says
I just picked up the red Merry Christmas pillow from Pier 1 on Sunday! I love it!
Hawthorne & Main says
Awesome Rose! They have the best pillows!
CoCo says
It looks amazing! I love all the special touches you added to make it festive. All of the pieces you bought at Pier 1 are fantastic! Great job on this lady. Hugs, CoCo
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks Coco! I pretty much love everything there!
Lindi says
Lovely decor you chose Shonee! I would LOVE to work with Pier 1 one day! They have beautiful decor 🙂
Stella Lee@ Purfylle says
My favourite is the cushions! Cushion covers are so easy to store and take up next to no room for the rest of the year. Thanks for the tips!
Hawthorne & Main says
I agree Stella!! Pillows are the best! Switching out the covers has helped me save so much space too!
Sydney @ Tastefully Frugal says
I love all three of these ideas. They are so easy and basic but make a huge difference! I love your idea of using wreaths around the house too! I NEED that faux fur wreath!
Hawthorne & Main says
I seriously use wreaths all the time! That wreath is seriously so great. Thanks!
Rachel says
Where did you get that great ribbon on the tree?
Hawthorne & Main says
I looovee that ribbon! It is from Michaels. I went there this weekend to see if they had more and they were out. If your store doesn’t have any either you could check online. It is a plaid burlap ribbon.
Teri says
Love! Simplest ways to decorate for holidays! Love it. Even better is to make your own signs. See what I did with mine: https://thefarmedhouse.wordpress.com/2015/11/12/chalk-it-up/
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks Teri! I definitely love signs!
Rachel says
The is goregous! I am a huge fan of all 3 ideas as well, but I am really partial to signs.
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks Rachel! I would agree with you on signs. I have been making so many lately, love them!
Dawna says
I think you and I would decorate just fine together!! You have listed 3 of my favorite things to change up for quick easy decorating! except,,you are way ahead of me! I might pull a few things out tomorrow and get started getting some holiday cheer going on in the country!!
Hawthorne & Main says
Awesome Dawna, I think we would get along just fine! I have to be ahead a little bit other wise I go crazy. Thanks for stopping by!
Carolyn says
I love the color of your wall. Can you please tell me what it is? Thanks!
Hawthorne & Main says
Hey Carlyn! The color of my walls is called Creamy Mushroom, by Behr. I really love it. It is a pretty good greige, not too grey not to beige.
Arlene Chaves says
Yes, I agree to this some point but I never encounter it yet.
