Candice Olson is returning for a second season of Candice Tells All on Jan. 5 at 7:30 p.m. ET and PT on W Network. The designer and TV host shares suggestions on ways to personalize your space and spruce up your home for the holidays:
1. Create a personalized wreath on the front door by using letters to spell out a message, or your family name. You can use any kind of letters. How about letters from vintage signs or monogrammed ornaments? Hang them on your children’s bedroom doors, spelling out their names using toy block letters.
2. Get inspired by nature. Use fresh bows, wreaths, berries and branches around the house to bring the outdoors in. You can paint pine cones and branches in fun colours and then incorporate them into your arrangements. Collect small branches from the outdoors, spray with high-gloss paint in various colours, suspend them horizontally and use them to showcase interesting ornaments, such as clip-on bird ornaments or anything with a hit of sparkle to glam up your space.
3. Fill vases of different sizes and shapes with glass ornaments. Surround them with candlelight and place them all on top of an old mirror to maximize the sparkle.
4. Buy some festive metallic accent pillows and cosy faux fur throws, and then swap out your current accent pillows over the holiday season. It will add some sparkle and fun to your sofa for those big family get-togethers.
5. Don’t forget to include your children’s creations in your decor. Holidays are for the whole family. Try showcasing some of their art and ornaments from previous years in shadow boxes displayed across the mantel or on a console table, along with some lights and cedar bows. Have room for two trees? Give the kids a small tree of their own to decorate any way they want — you may even have a future designer on your hands.
