It's never too late to decorate for the holidays. So much of winter is spent indoors, so now is the time to make sure your home feels festive and inviting. From mastering your mantel to incorporating evergreens, here are some ideas for adding seasonal elements that can be enjoyed long after Dec. 25.

Decorating Your Mantel for the Holidays

Nothing says cozy like a beautifully adorned mantel. Learn about the "mountain range effect" technique for styling your mantel, then use your imagination to create a festive winter hearth. Remove the stockings after the end of the month for a look that will last until spring.

Decorating with Evergreens

A simple yet beautiful way to decorate your home for the season is to incorporate evergreens. Not only are they pretty but they are also fragrant! Try them in the form of wreaths, garland and even mini trees. Opt for faux greens—with a spritz of pine-scented room spray—for a look that won't drop needles and will outlast the the real deal.
