  • Make a schedule :
If you both are working, or you are single and working, then it’s just weekends that you get for Christmas preparations. Prioritize and schedule the tasks so that you are not drained by the time the fun time begins.
  • Junk the junk now :
Why wait for the guests to arrive and you are busy pulling out the junk.
Start today! Sort out what you have not used in the last 90 days and just trash it. Donate the toys if your children outgrown them. Give the house a deep cleaning. Remove the cobwebs as nothing will look pretty when nestled in cobwebs. Deep clean the house by dusting, vacuuming and mopping. Get your kids to clean their rooms too. Get the pots inside if they are unable to survive the cold winters. Rake all the dry leaves strewn around the yard. Another option is to hire a cleaning service. It may be expensive, but a single day heavy cleaning can do wonders for your home. Consider this your Christmas present to yourself!
  • Light up :

Either you can use the lights that you already have or this is the right time to go to the store to buy new lights. You don’t have to be an expert to light up your home for Christmas. Light up the home the way you like it. Remember to buy lots of hooks and nails. Measure approximately how much length of light you will require if you plan to string the outer faces or put stripes of light across the roof. Since you are out shopping, buy the Christmas decorations as well.
  • Get the home guest ready :
It is a good idea to replace the ceiling fixtures so that guests do not fiddle with the air conditioning system, but can customize their room temperature. Light up the alleys and hallways in the house to avoid accidents and injury.
Make sleeping arrangements by using folding beds and roll away screen to offer guests privacy when sleeping in public areas.
Increase the storage space in the kitchen and bathroom as well by clearing table tops. Stock your fridge. You can bake and freeze most of the goodies in advance
Place the toiletries, toilet paper, towels on open shelves or open baskets for guests to find them easily.
  • Choose the gifts :

Unique wall decor idea from Halloween to Christmas!

How about decorating the walls this Christmas? Looking for something different and new to decorate the walls, just moved into a new home or you need to brighten up the room? It’s simple! Just decorate your walls with wall hangings, wall signs, home goods, photo frame or photo collage. Let the wall be the perfect canvas for your creative or not so creative ideas.
Like furniture, wall signs and accents can change the look and mood of the room immediately. When wall signs, hangings and photo frames are hung systematically, the wall will look like a piece from the art gallery, the wall of fame. When the design principles are not followed, the wall will be the perfect wall of shame.

Here are a few tips and trick to an arty wall

  • As a thumb rule, the width of artwork should be 0.57% of the width of the wall. For example, if the wall is 4 feet wide, the artwork should be 4 X 0.57 = 2.28 feet wide.
  • If you are grouping the art work, treat it as one cluster like you would treat a single piece.
  • Use the museum approach to decide the height where the wall decor has to be hung. It should be 145 cm from the floor plus half the length of the painting.
  • When hanging multiple pieces in a room, consider the walls, windows, doors and furniture. Hang the art at a comfortable eye level and In relation to what is already existing in the room.
  • For hanging art behind the sofa, it should be 2/3rd the width of the sofa and about 15-20 cm above the sofa top.
  • If hanging some wall decor above the fireplace, maintain the 2/3rd width, but hang the art 10-30 cm above the mantle depending what you are placing on the mantle.
  • On the dining room wall, place the frame or wall accent at a lower height as it should be comfortably visible while sitting.
  • My favorite is hanging pictures and wall signs along the staircase. Use the same museum approach.
  • Plan the layout by colors, size. You can use the grid method or the modern method where top and bottom border line is maintained while the vertical line can be crooked as different sizes of frames or signs are used.
Don’t let the wall intimidate you. Find the best collection of wall signs and photo frames at viva home decor. You can have the ideas using Prairie curtains this Halloween to decorate your home in this blog. Create a mix of signs and family pictures, or any other pictures for the different rooms in your home. Decorate the walls which will brighten up your home this Christmas.

Add spark to life by adding spark to your bedroom with Prairie curtains

Bored of the same old blind or curtains? Don’t have the money to spend on lavish curtains? Have you realized the urgent need to change the ambience of the bedroom but cannot think creatively? Well, here are a few bedroom ideas to overhaul your bedroom at a price that will not upset your budget.
On an average an employed American between the age group of 25 to 54 years spends 7.7 hours sleeping. This time amounts to almost 1/3 of the day being spent in the bedroom, assuming the person sleeps and gets dressed in the bedroom. The bedroom is the room that is closest to the heart for most people. Every person gets attached to the bedroom like it is the only ‘one’ who can understand you, feel you and provide solutions to your problems as well.
A room where you spend such a lot of time is basically a reflection of your very being. A lively, well decorated room not only looks good but feels good too as it magically takes away the stress the moment you step in the room.

The bed can be dressed with quilts, cushions, pillows, shams, throws and skirt. Choosing cotton fabric adds to the cool look and feel and is easy to wash and maintain as well. Contrast the bedding with the floor or match it with it and contrast it with the curtains. Breaking the monotony of the room adds that sparkle to the room interiors.
Carpet can be a rug that is placed by the bedside or under the legs of the bed. Depending on the size of the room, you may choose a carpet/rug either to divide the room of highlight an area with a braided area rugs of various shapes.

Window treatment means not only hanging a curtain, but how and where to hang it.
