Decorating your home for Hanukkah is one of the greatest joys of the season. There are so many ways to put a festive spin on your home décor, including refreshing your table and adding a few gilded accents throughout the home for a fanciful finishing touch. The ideas are virtually endless, but here are some fun ways to bring some of that goodness to your home in time for Hanukkah.
Elevate with a Centerpiece
Blue and white accents abound throughout the home, but one of the easiest ways to make an impact in your dining room is with a beautiful floral centerpiece. It will set the tone for Hanukkah, lending the room a vibrant and eye-catching touch that stands out. What’s nice about this palette is it fits in nicely if you’re hosting a more upscale dinner but is restrained enough to be a part of your everyday routine, too. Moonburst is a beautiful example — it’s lush and full, with a radiant appearance that brims with the spirit of the holiday.
The Gilded Touch
A little bit of that special Midas touch is exactly what you need to transform any space from ordinary to extraordinary. This could be in the form of a golden charger set beneath each plate at the table or a cup full of chocolates wrapped in gold foil on the entry table. You could even set these around the home — who doesn’t love a sweet treat? They’re as decorative as they are tasty.
Create a Focal Point
What you want to achieve is a celebratory feel in the home, something that’s most easily accomplished when you dedicate a certain space to something that feels more festive. Use this opportunity to break out your creative chops. Hang grosgrain ribbons in shades of deep blue, gold, and white, add a bundle of balloons in the same hues, and add a showy arrangement like Azure to a small table in your space. You’ll find you don’t need to be especially handy or spend a lot of money to create something fun, decorative, and in keeping with the meaning of Hanukkah.
Break Out the Crackers
If you've ever wanted to introduce festive holiday crackers to your home, now is the time! You can use standard Christmas-issue crackers and wrap them in vibrant gift wrap bearing a Hanukkah theme. Fill them up with confetti, toys, candies, chocolates, and other wonderful treats that will bring a smile to anyone’s face when they pull on each end.
Bring on the Dreidels
This is a project that the entire family can enjoy! All you need is some construction paper or scrapbooking paper, along with scissors, stencils, pencils, and glue. Get to work drawing and cutting dreidels to hang through the home. Key areas where they might stand out include windows, staircases, mantels, and bookshelves. Use some fishing line to support them — they’ll look like they’re suspended in midair when the line is clear.
You’ll find so much joy in introducing some festive Hanukkah style to different areas of your home. Whether you do it all yourself or have the family lend a helping hand, you can be sure the result will bring everyone together.
