I love the idea of seasonal decorating, but honestly, I barely manage to keep my plants alive, let alone swap out decor every few months. 😂 I did try once—got some cozy fall blankets and candles—but by spring, I was still rocking the pumpkin spice vibe. Still, I totally get how changing things up can boost your mood...maybe I'll give it another shot.
"I did try once—got some cozy fall blankets and candles—but by spring, I was still rocking the pumpkin spice vibe."
Haha, relatable! I once put up some winter-themed pillows, and they stayed until June. Honestly, seasonal decorating should be fun, not stressful...give it another go when you're feeling inspired, no pressure.
Haha, I feel you on the pillows staying till June...but honestly, isn't seasonal decorating kind of a sneaky money pit? Like, who has the budget (or storage space!) to swap out decor four times a year? I tried it once too—got all excited about spring and bought pastel-colored everything. Fast forward two years, and I'm still staring at those faded pink cushions wondering if they're now ironically vintage or just plain sad.
Maybe instead of full-on seasonal themes, it's easier (and cheaper) to just rotate a few neutral pieces around or toss in some fresh flowers or candles every now and then. Less pressure, less clutter...and way easier on the wallet. Or is that just me being lazy?
I totally get the appeal of seasonal decor, but honestly, after one Christmas where I went all-out and ended up with boxes of glittery pinecones and snowflake cushions crowding my closet, I swore never again. Now I stick to neutral basics—like you said—and just switch out small stuff like candles or throws. It's surprising how much difference a simple vase of fresh flowers can make...and my wallet definitely appreciates it. Maybe we're not lazy, just practical?
Haha, practical is definitely the word. I learned my lesson after going big one Halloween—fake cobwebs everywhere, plastic skeletons hanging from lamps...the works. Looked great for about two weeks, then spent months tripping over boxes labeled "spooky stuff" in my garage. Now it's strictly neutral furniture and maybe a seasonal throw pillow or two. Less clutter, less hassle, and honestly, it makes the space feel calmer year-round.
