household decorating

For those of you who change the decor in your house seasonally, what do you use when you take down your December holiday decorations?

Snowmen go up through February. I put up 6 large Christmas trees. I have a flocked one in the formal dining room that changes over to a winter theme. The rest are taken down. . Bunnies and flowers come out in March. Summer decor from May to mid September. Fall, then Christmas.

Snowmen come out after Christmas. I have a few things for Easter, and those come out for a few weeks. Once those get put away, I don’t decorate again until fall/Halloween.

My two big decorating times are Halloween and Christmas. I have a few singular items i might bring out if I am feeling it for the other holiday times.. vintage kewpie girl heart vase for Valentines.... Leprechaun nutcracker for St. Paddy's.... my antique Easter cookie jar.

I leave it pretty neutral for the few weeks after New Year's - gives me a chance to visually reset and deep clean. Then I do smaller holiday decorations in very specific areas of our home - the coffee bar, pillows on our entry bench and living room couch, front door decor, and smaller things like hand soap and candles in bathrooms and kitchen for each holiday(Valentine's Day will go up this week). I plan on changing out our open shelving display (open concept floor plan for kitchen/dining/living room) seasonally - we just took down our son's(20) Lego Christmas village and it will stay with our regular decor until we get closer to spring.

Mardi Gras! Then Easter/spring

I don't celebrate Easter (or Christmas)

I guess I'm just looking for ideas to update seasonally. I've got September through December but am pretty slim the rest of the year

The casino and hospital turn Christmas trees into Valentine's Day ....we rotate grape vine wreaths on windmill stand with the next 4 months

I use Pinterest and ChatGPT to help me with interior design ideas and updates. I have a neutral palette overall with a lot of natural wood. So I type in prompts like “neutrals with pops of blue” “green”.

God-willing later this year when I am home, my Dad and I will decorate our apartment some again. We typically use seasonal tablecloths and placemats. Also hanging above our small kitchen table are a couple of wall decorations such as Happy Spring.

By the Saturday before the first Sunday in Advent, we have set up our larger table-top Nativity. We are still looking for a one piece Creche. We do have a Happy Valentine's Day heart and put up an Easter Cross in some form. It's also fun to use seasonal paper plates. Small things that can add fun, comfort, and help make memories

Maybe . . .

January snowmen
February shades of red or pink
March shades of green
April & May flowers and other signs of spring
June through August something beachy or vacation themed

The same day our Christmas decorations were put away, our Valentines box came down from the attic and we put all that out. Next will be St Patrick’s Day, then Easter/Spring, then patriotic 4th of July/summer, then fall, winter holidays, etc.

I did pick up a big cutout sign I saw with flowers that says SPRING and I put it up on my mantel as a daily reminder that it will be here soon! I love my seasonal decorations.
