Decorating for the holidays is fun, but sometimes those pumpkins or bright Santa figures don't seem comfortable in front of you treasured art. Here are four things you can do to help your art and your decorations get along during the holidays.
  • Pull colors out of your art with decorations. 
  • Collect art that harmonizes with your special treasures to bring out at holiday time.
  • Replace art with a few special holiday family photos.
  • Use mirrors in place of art to double the sparkle. 
Pack your art in the boxes that held your seasonal decorations. When you put away the decorations, put the the art back up. Taking a visual break will make you love your art all over again.

I first published this piece in 2016. I still use these tips when I decorate for Christmas especially displaying special holiday family photos. One of my favorites is this picture of my sons now 25 and 29 with angel wings!
