Easy Seasonal Decorating Ideas

Before you start decorating for the seasons and holidays, it’s helps to have a quick list of them to reference.

The main seasons & holidays that people decorate for in the United States include:

  • Easter
  • Spring
  • 4th of July
  • Fall
  • Halloween
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas

But you also decorate for holidays like Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day & more.  Winter decorations are nice to put up after Christmas, but you don’t have to. 

In fact, you can completely skip over decorating for a holiday or season if you don’t feel like it.  No judgment here!

Once you figure out what seasons and holidays you want to decorate for, you’ll need to know when best to put up and take down your decorations.  See my holiday by holiday guide for when to decorate for each holiday & season.

Holiday Decor Items & Accessories

What decor items should you use for seasonal decorating throughout the year?  

Most people know to decorate for Christmas with winter greenery, red & green colors, ornaments, etc.  Or that pumpkins & mums are great as fall decor.

But what about items to use for seasonal decor ideas in the summer months?  Or for right after Christmas?  

These may seem like times of the year where there is not a lot to decorate with, but you would be surprised!  Check out these popular seasonal decorating ideas for each month of the year.

Storage for Holiday Decor

Now once you put up your holiday decorations, at some point you’ll need to take them down and store them somewhere out of sight.  

You don’t want to have things disorganized in your storage area – you might forget about some decorations you already have!

Instead, get organized with your seasonal decor.  In these articles, I’ve outlined some great ways to organize and store Christmas decorations and how to store decorations for other seasons & holidays. 

I’ve also covered some ideas on how to store decorations in small spaces like apartments too.  The truth is, you can usually find ways to store all of your holiday decorations, regardless of how much space you have.
