Don’t clash with home decor
“If your living room is painted ocean blue, skip the red garland and opt for white snowflakes or a silver glass-ball wreath. Use rich tones like gold, cranberry and forest green if you have an earthy color scheme.” – HGTV

Do consider your tree space
“A tall Christmas tree can help you show off your two-story great room, if the wide base won't overwhelm the floor space. If your living area is small, save space with a skinny tree.” - HGTV

Do use real greenery
“Adorning the front porch or walkway with potted spruce tops shows an effort in making a house a home. And, when all else is barren, fresh greenery is all the more beautiful.” (photo courtesy of countryliving.com)
Don’t overdo the lights
“Don’t go Clark Griswold crazy during the holidays. Keep your decorating simple and classy. Less is best this time of year.” – Carrie Anders, Chippewa Valley/Eau Claire office
“Too many trimmings may distract buyers, but the right accessories can draw attention to your home's best features. Dangle mistletoe in an arched doorway, or display your menorah on the ledge of a bay window; just don't block a beautiful view with stick-on snowflake decals or clutter an elegant fireplace with personalized stockings.” – HGTV
