Re-Inventing Holiday Decor by Simple Dwellings

Hi, I'm Amber from the design blog Simple Dwellings, and I am super excited to be here today! With the holiday season just around the corner, we're all in a crunch to decorate, shop and take in the best of the season with friends and family. I would love to make your job (as well as mine) easier this holiday with some great decorating ideas that are fun, simple and oh so stylish! When you take out your decorations this year, think about different and unconventional ways to use them. Your house will be the talk of the town and people will take notice of your creativity! Here are some fun images to get your creative juices flowing.

I always get excited (and relieved) when I can reuse what I have lying around the home and give new life to it. A plain serving tray can become a display for festive holiday candy and simple white votives. A cake stand that you might take out for special occasions can stay out for the entire season - use it for stacking holiday boxes. And your extra ball ornaments can be used for a beautiful arrangement under a chandelier or in a glass cloche.

When decorating for any time of the year, it's all in the details. With these simple and stylish holiday solutions, your decorations will be fun to create, while taking center stage with your guests. Have fun with your holiday decor this season... Enjoy!

I found this idea on Pinterest, my favorite inspirational meeting place!

You can find glass containers and apothecary jars almost anywhere these days. Just fill them candy and there you go, a great holiday centerpiece!

Another example of how candy adds instant holiday color and cheer - so simple!

Thanks to Censational Girl for the simple and elegant ideas, like this wreath dangled in front of a massive window.
