We don’t just decorate for Christmas any more. In fact, other holiday decorations are now rivaling Christmas decorations in sales. There are knick-knacks, pillows, candy dishes, rugs, placemats, and nearly anything else you can imagine including strings of lights, for every holiday.
Decorating for every holiday and season can be a lot of fun but it can also get expensive, so instead of purchasing only items that can be used for Easter, why not select a variety of items that can also be used beyond?
Sure, you have to have a cute Easter Bunny, some kind of decorative eggs, or maybe an egg tree, but you can also mix in items in great spring colors that can remain after the Easter specific items are put away.
These items will not only enhance your Easter decorations, but they will also brighten up every space in your home through spring and summer. Choose throw rugs, accent pillows, hand towels, placemats, and potholders in pretty pastels that coordinate with your Easter items, which can also stand alone when Easter has passed.
This is a great way to get the most for your decorating dollars and to keep those upbeat bright colors featured in your home throughout the warmer months instead of just during the holiday season.
You can do the same thing when it comes to other holidays. For example, use great autumn colors before, during, and throughout the Thanksgiving season, and use fun, sparkly, wintery items before and after Christmas. You can keep your home bright and festive all year long without spending a fortune on decorations that seem to change with each passing month. By the time you begin putting away your winter stuff, it will be time to bring out your Valentine’s Day decorations, and before you know it, you’ll be unpacking bright spring colored items and Easter decorations again.
