Home & Garden 8 Decorating Tips We Learned From Binge-Watching Netflix's 'Holiday Home Makeover With Mr. Christmas'

You can never have too many pinecones

Mr. Christmas likes to go with a lot of fresh and organic materials—and pinecones are definitely his go-to. He tacks them into garlands, turns them into bird feeder outdoor ornaments (with a generous coating of peanut butter and birdseed), and even uses them to help his house smell like a pine forest, with a dab of pine essential oil.

Peppermint candies are your decorating MVPs

They can be hot glued together by their cellophane wrappings to make a garland, or covering a styrofoam cone for a pretty table decoration. Or arrange a set of unwrapped candies on a parchment-lined cookie tray, heat at 330 degrees for 10 minutes so they soften and meld together to make a fun (if not entirely functional) serving tray.

Every guest should get a gift

Put a little treat at every place setting (a jumbo candy cane, a prettily packaged panettone, a silver star ornament) to make everyone feel welcome.

It's super easy to get that sweet snow-covered look

To flock a Christmas tree or garland, you just need flocking powder (or corn starch or coconut shavings), a spray bottle filled with water, and a sifter. Spray the branches with water, sprinkle on your fake "snow," then spray again to help seal it on.

You can decorate Christmas trees outside, too

Tuck fresh-cut pine trees into your landscaping, then deck them out with lights, glittery ornaments, and pretty twig and pinecone natural ornaments. (That'll get your patio ready for outdoor entertaining.)

You should try adding food to your holiday decor

And we're not just talking about gingerbread houses. Coat nuts or fruit in glitter (or sparkling sugar, if you want to eat them later) to use in your Christmas decor, as festive holiday centerpieces or attached to wreaths.

I wholeheartedly believe that your home and your space has the ability to affect the way you feel, and that there is no better way to boost your confidence than to turn your house into a home that beautifully reflects your style.

Anchor small trees into pots with a layer of oranges and cranberries, hot glue tree-shaped pasta to cones to make a festive tree, and layer espresso beans onto a tray so you can nestle Christmas cookies into it.

Outdoors, popcorn balls attached to string or ribbon can be natural ornaments that help bring the birds to your yard.

Candlelight is your best friend

Excess is best when it comes to candlelight—crowd more than a dozen tapers down the center of the table, or hang multiple lanterns over an outdoor space for a warming glow.

Scent is super important

Tuck fragrant items like cloves and cinnamon sticks into your decor, or set a pot simmering with an array of spices (anise, cinnamon, cloves), an orange peel and a pine cone to make your house smell like Christmas.

You can find new ways to freshen up your decor

You don't have to keep your everyday furniture arrangement, or put the same decorations out in the same places year after year. Rearrange furniture to make it cozier (more pillows and throws will definitely help), and retire decorations that aren't working for you anymore.
