7 Holiday Decorating Tips to Spruce Up Your Tulsa Home

With the holiday season right around the corner, Tulsa residents are gearing up to transform their homes into festive retreats. If you're looking to upgrade your holiday decorations this year, you're in luck. We have curated seven tips that are bound to make your home the talk of the town—or at least your neighborhood—in Tulsa Metro.

1. Choose a Color Scheme That Speaks to You

From Brookside to Cherry Street, Tulsa homes shine with unique color palettes during the holiday season. Opt for a color scheme that reflects both your personal style and holiday tradition. Yearning for something less traditional? Consider a soft teal and silver combo or maybe a bold violet and gold. Start with two primary colors and throw in a third for a delightful twist. Matching ornaments, table decor, and accents can tie your home together for a seamless festive look.

2. Find Joy in Unexpected Places

Decor doesn't have to be limited to your living room or porch. Why not bring a bit of holiday spirit into your study or bathroom with themed candles or a mini garland? Turn each corner of your Tulsa home into a small celebration of its own.

3. Embrace Variety in Textures

A mix of textures can turn your home from standard to standout. Imagine a plush velvet pillow nestled against a chunky knit throw on your sofa, or a gleaming metallic ornament beside a rustic wood figurine. For homes in areas like Midtown Tulsa, where the architecture already boasts so much character, adding layered textures can complement the historical charm.

4. Go Green with Natural Decor

Nothing beats the timeless elegance of natural elements in holiday decor. In Tulsa, where the beauty of the natural surroundings is always close by, bring a piece of it indoors. Fresh garlands can drape beautifully over your mantle, while an indoor herb garden can serve as both a decorative and practical addition to your kitchen. For a Tulsa twist, gather pecans or wild berries to add a local feel to your decorations.

5. Design Eye-Catching Focal Points

Setting up focal points throughout your home can really draw guests in. Perhaps it's a beautifully arranged holiday vignette on your entryway table or a captivating centerpiece on your dining table. The key is to select items that draw the eye and spark conversations—think of showcasing a piece of Tulsa history or a holiday craft made by local artisans.

6. Personalize Your Holiday Decor

Adding items with personal significance can make your holiday setup more meaningful. Display treasured family heirlooms or create a corner dedicated to framed photos from holidays past. For Tulsa residents, incorporating something uniquely Oklahoman, whether it’s an ornament shaped like your state or decor featuring local motifs, can add a warm, personal touch.

7. Let Your Home Sparkle and Shine

Incorporate lights and shiny decor to give your home that magical holiday glow. String lights can frame your windows or highlight architectural features in your home, while reflective surfaces can amplify the light and add depth to your decor. Remember, the goal is to create a warm, inviting space that celebrates the holiday season in style.
