Tips to Turn the Inside of Your Home into a Dazzling White Christmas:

Everyone loves a white Christmas, but the sparkle and beauty doesn’t have to be confined to the outdoors and we don’t have to wait for Mother Nature.

Decorating your home using a white theme can be dazzling and sophisticated.

Warm up the winter look with touches of red, but touches of gold also adds just the right amount of warmth to a winter wonderland.

Let’s start with the Christmas tree.

• Spray the tree with snow. The amount depends upon your own personal taste. You can give it a light dusting or make it look like a heavy snowfall.
• Use clear lights. Use a combination of standard steady glowing lights along with twinkling lights.
• Adorn the tree with clear, white and silver ornaments, snowflakes and glass ornament icicles.

  There are many beautiful Christmas ornaments available that have an elegant frosty look including fruit, berries, birdhouses and even flowers.

  You can use white glittery fern sprays and anything that captures the beauty and sparkle of fresh winter snow.

• Use garlands or curls of white or sliver ribbon nestled in the tree. A very pale aqua blue ribbon can also be used to emulate the subtle blues of a snowy landscape.
• Drape the tree with clear beads.
• Use sprays of red berries throughout the tree to add excitement to the winter theme. There’s nothing more beautiful than red berries peeking through the glistening snow.
• As a finishing touch, place white doves, red cardinals and any other little birds and perhaps bird nests among the branches.
