 Making Your Home Feel Festive

It’s getting closer and closer to Christmas, but it’s not too late to add some more festive cheer to your home.

Some of the best things about Christmas are the festive spirit, decorations, and family get-togethers. If you want to get the most out of it then this short guide will give you some great ways to make your home feel festive just in time for the holidays: 

Use Candles

Candles are certainly one of the most popular and best ways to set the mood during the holidays. You can add festive scents like cookies cooking, cinnamon, pine, berries, and more. Placing candles in spots around your home is a simple yet effective way to add a cozy feel and festive smell to your home. 

If you are struggling for a loved one, you may also think about gifting a candle. Especially if they have come to your house a commented on how much they love the festive smells. 

Festive Bedroom 

Some people prefer not to decorate their bedroom for the holidays, however, if you want the full feeling of Christmas and dive into the festive cheer, it’s one of the best ways to do it. Your home needs to be cozy and so does your bedroom. This should ideally be the coziest place in your house so it makes sense to add in some festive bedding and cushions. You could even add small Christmas decorations on your bedside table such as a mini Christmas tree.

Get Your Wrapping Station Set Up 

If you haven’t got a wrapping station you should think about getting one set up. All you need is an area in your home that is easy to clear so you can do some proper wrapping. A dining table or office desk would work well. Then you need to gather all the materials you need to wrap your gifts. Think wrapping paper, tissue paper, ribbons, glitter, name tags, brackets, thank you notes, and greeting cards. If you want to be able to tidy everything away think about getting a decoration box or storage bag for your wrapping paper. This way your home is free of clutter and you can set up your wrapping station when you need to. 

Add A Door Wreath

People add wreaths to their doors all year round now, however, you can’t take away from the fact that the holiday season was the original time you would see these. This is one of the most popular and easiest ways to make your home look and feel more festive. The evergreen color that you see is the symbol of everlasting life. 

This video will give you some ideas for designing and making your own wreath: 

They are normally placed on a front door and they are a brilliant way of adding some festive cheer and personality to your door. If you want to be budget savvy, why not invest in an artificial wreath that you can bring out year after year? 

These are just four of the simple ways you can make your home feel festive this year. Do you have any others that you could share in the comments below? It would be great to hear about them.

Holiday Dressing Made Easy


‘Tis the season to dazzle, and holiday dressing just got a whole lot easier with the luxurious trio of velvet, sequins, and sparkle.

How to Choose the Perfect Statement Light Fixture for Your Room

Image credit

When it comes to interior design and basic comfort living, you need to have a lighting plan. You need to be able to properly connect everything together, and everything just needs to be beautifully highlighted so the room comes together seamlessly- that’s the beauty of lighting. Whether you’re revamping your living space or just looking to add a touch of sophistication, choosing the right statement light fixture is key. 

Besides, a statement light fixture can transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary. Honestly, it has the power to really make or break a room. You can have the prettiest furniture, gorgeous art, and even a nice rug, but it can still turn into a disaster. So, here’s how to choose the perfect statement light fixture for your room!

Style and Aesthetic

So, you’ll want to begin by considering the overall style of your room. Is it modern, minimalist, classic, traditional, or eclectic and bohemian? There are so many different types of aesthetics and styles out there, so ideally, it’s just best to choose wisely for this. Your statement light fixture should complement the existing décor and serve as a focal point for it- that’s the key. You’ll need to look for fixtures that resonate with the room’s aesthetic, whether it’s a sleek contemporary pendant, a vintage-inspired chandelier, or a bold, geometric design.

How’s the Installation Going to Be?

Don’t forget about maintenance, either! The process needs to be feasible, but of course, you could even hire an electrician to do the hard stuff for you, like hardwiring (since not all light fixtures are the same). Plus, sometimes it’s not even just about the wiring, but if you’re getting something super elaborate, then this is going to most likely require extra work. Some statement light fixtures may require professional installation due to their size or complexity. But that’s not all, because there’s the maintenance, too, will there actually be maintenance? 

Materials and Finishes

You might also want to consider the materials and finishes of the statement light fixture in relation to other elements in the room. Do you want a fixture with a metallic finish to complement stainless steel appliances? Perhaps a warm, wooden fixture to enhance a rustic theme? In general, you need to think about quality, quality materials basically contribute to the fixture’s durability, and this is also going to add a touch of luxury to your space.

What’s the Size?

It’s not just the size that matters, but you really need to think about the scale, too. Generally speaking, even the proportion is crucial for selecting a statement light fixture. When it comes to these statement lights, there’s a lot that influences this. The size of the room and the height of the ceiling are really going to matter for this. A large, intricate chandelier might be perfect for a grand dining room with high ceilings, while a smaller, more understated pendant may suit a cozy reading nook. So, think of it this way: you’ll need to ensure the fixture is neither too overpowering nor too small for the space.

5 Fabulous Ways to Make a Short-Term Rental Feel Like Home

For one reason or another, you are required to move into a rental property for just a short amount of time. Whether you’re staying away for work, or moving out of your home whilst you have building upgrades done, there are so many ways to make your short-term place feel just like home. You can still enjoy a luxurious home without actually owning it, so here are five fabulous methods to put your own personal stamp on your short-term rental.

  1. Small Furniture Items

Even when you’re moving into a short-term property, it doesn’t mean that you can’t add your own small furniture items to make it your own. When it comes to short-term rentals they are often furnished to a high standard but they may not always have everything you are looking for. You can add a small coffee table to your living space, or add a small shelving unit in the hallway if it feels right for your needs.

  1. Your Own Belongings

As soon as you bring your own personal items into your new home, you will instantly feel as though the place was meant for you. Putting your favorite book onto a shelf and adding your own plates to the kitchen cupboards will transform the space from a blank canvas into a cozy place to live and enjoy, even if it is just for a few months.

  1. Soft Furnishings

You can have so much freedom when it comes to adding soft furnishing to your new rental property. If you really want to bring a touch of home to your new place you can fill your sofa with welcoming cushions, add a vibrant rug, or even treat yourself to new bed sheets so that your short-term stay feels extra luxurious!

  1. Photo Frames

You may not be staying in your new place for long enough to put up permanent wall art, but you can bring a tonne of photo frames and fill them with your favorite snaps. Whether you’re looking to bring images of your family members into your place, or you want memories of vacations you’ve enjoyed recently, photo frames are a brilliant way to personalize a property for the short term.

  1. Candles and Scents

Adding a touch of personalization to your short-term home is easy when you use the power of sumptuous scents. Using fragrance to bring a sense of personalization into your short-term rental can instantly help it feel like home. Choosing a scent is also a really fun part of the process as it can help you discover more about your tastes in terms of aromas. From fresh lavender to stunning vanilla, there are so many different scents you can try for your new home.

As you can see, there are a whole host of different ways to add a touch of comfort, class, and style to your property, even if you’re not planning on staying there for a long time. It’s always nice to feel cozy and at home wherever you’re staying, and with these ideas you can feel confident that your space feels like your own.

Exciting New Events Create Market Magic at the Downtown White Plains 2023 Holiday Market

With Thanksgiving turkey roasters barely shelved, many outdoor Holiday Markets have begun rising around New York City and its environs, including throughout Westchester County. But this year, the Downtown White Plains Holiday Market seeks to up its holiday market game to draw more visitors downtown by going beyond the now-standard glass vendor sheds to also present a line-up of unique seasonal surprises appealing to all ages… most of them free!

Now in its third year, the award-winning Downtown White Plains Holiday Market will continue to feature just shy of 50 vendors selling a combination of artisanal, handmade, and unique goods ranging from 4mydogs’ boutique pet wares to Manor Sangria’s fresh small batch sangria perfectly packaged for gift-giving, to English-tearoom-inspired teas and treats fit for royalty courtesy of Florrie Kaye’s Tearoom. “Our vendors are all so unique and are excited to return to Downtown White Plains to offer one-of-a-kind gifts for White Plains and Westchester shoppers,” stated Melissa Tomlin, founder of 914Pop-Ups, a tour de force in Westchester’s holiday and pop-up market scene, who helped cultivate the vendor list from a wide applicant pool over the past few months. “You’ll find nothing but quality at this market.”

But that’s not all. Noticing that many communities were replicating the holiday market theme in their downtowns, this year, the lead coordinator of the event, the White Plains Business Improvement District, a nonprofit 501c3 dedicated to supporting downtown White Plains, was determined to create a fresh batch of unique seasonal experiences to make a trip to the downtown extra special during the “most wonderful time of year” and to complement its traditional market environment with some upgraded White Plains magic.

·      8 igloos, offering a warm and cozy spot to connect with friends and family over a board game, a take-out meal from local restaurants or via one of the organization’s unique (fee-based) add-on classes/experiences including charcuterie board assembly or candle making.

·      Also new this year: S’mores kits available for private rental during market hours!

The new events have already piqued the interest of local residents who have started reserving igloos and calling about the new event. And that of nearby municipalities. “We’ve noticed some our newest features already being quickly added to the schedules of nearby village holiday gatherings practically as soon as we published them,” said Executive Director Jennifer Furioli. “That’s tells us we’re charting the right course.”

In addition to the Entertainment and Igloo Level sponsors listed above, Rose Associates, The Premier Collection, Manor Sangria and Greca Mediterranean Kitchen and Bar are supporting the event as Gold Sponsors. Minuteman Press of Downtown White Plains, Nicholas Wolff of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services and The Cambria White Plains are Small Business Holiday Market Hero Sponsors.

The Downtown White Plains Holiday Market is just one of many seasonal activities feting the season in the central vibrant business district. The City of White Plains will present its Holiday Tree Lighting Sunday, December 10th at 5 pm at Renaissance Plaza Park, and on December 8th, nine bars/restaurants located on Mamaroneck Avenue including Archie Grand, Brazen Fox, Hudson Grille, Lazy Boy, Lilly’s Ron Blacks, Sundance Kitchen, Cantina and Free Bird just announced that they will host their first inaugural ugly sweater crawl, a joint promotion between the neighboring hospitality businesses.
