When the weather starts heating up, the holiday season might be the last thing on your mind. However, did you know that now is the perfect time to start planning and preparing your home for the holidays? At Hickory Furniture Mart, we understand the value of timeless elegance, and believe that incorporating a little bit of holiday cheer goes a long way when entertaining family and friends in your home. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this our Christmas in July guide to selecting  classic furniture pieces and seasonal accessories that are sure to earn you the title of \u201cHostess with the Mostest\u201d this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Shopping to Elevate Your Home Year Round<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instead of focusing on your gift list for the upcoming holiday season, use the summer as an opportunity to plan ahead by carefully selecting and ordering whatever furniture you think you may need for your holiday visitors. Opt for classic pieces that offer timeless charm and sophistication, whether you\u2019re searching for well-crafted dining tables that expand for additional seating, elegant sideboards to showcase those holiday pies, or luxurious sofas and armchairs to relax in after your belly is full from that wonderful holiday meal. Investing in high-quality furniture that is classic in style, will allow you to decorate your home for each holiday by bringing in fun and festive accessories to celebrate each occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festive Accessorizing: Infuse Holiday Spirit into Your Home<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Transforming your home for the holidays doesn\u2019t mean starting from scratch with your furniture. Instead, select a few accessories that infuse the holiday spirit into your existing pieces. Swap out a plain tablecloth for a seasonal linen with intricate snowflake patterns or shimmering, metallic threading. Spruce up sofas and armchairs with decorative pillows in festive hues and designs. Small accessories go a long way in adding warmth and seasonal spirit to your furniture and your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deck the Halls with Consistent and Coordinated Decor<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take your decor a step further by adding festive accents throughout your entire home. Tie bows to the backs of your dining room chairs, hang wreaths and garlands inside and out, and place colorful candles on mantels and shelves. And of course, no holiday home would be complete without beautiful, twinkling lights. Keeping these touches consistent with the overall theme of your home will create a seamless flow between your furniture and your seasonal decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ornamental Tablescapes: Stunning Centerpieces<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another way to bring the holidays into your home without undertaking a complete overhaul is by investing in or creating stunning tablescapes for your dining and cocktail tables. As the centerpieces of your meals and gatherings, these tables offer the perfect opportunity to embrace the holiday spirit. Arrange beautiful tablescapes with fresh flowers, seasonal foliage, and ornaments that match your home\u2019s existing color scheme. Let these tablescapes truly shine against the backdrop of your timeless furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
