Christmas
Gift Ideas: Interior Decor Presents
by Jeanette Joy Fisher
Choosing a gift for someone to display in their
home can be frustrating. On the other hand, if you're shopping for
a friend or family member, you can give a present that will be appreciated.
When to Not Give Home Décor Presents
If you've never been to your friend's home, I
would definitely not give a household item unless it's for a recent
bride with a gift registry. Even if you're gift shopping with your
friend and she points out a darling framed picture or frilly pillow,
that doesn't mean the item will fit in her personal interior décor.
Perhaps you know your friend collects figurines
like I do. Because of my last name, I started collecting fish years
ago. However, I collect tiny glass antique fish, about one inch
tall. The large wooden fish my mother gave me just doesn't fit my
interior décor.
How to Give Home Décor Presents
If you have been to your friend's home and know
she needs to complete her home decorating with accessories, here
are some gift ideas:
1. Double check your friend's color scheme. Your
gift doesn't have to match perfectly to blend in.
2. Make sure her home isn't too crowded with many
small decorating items. Many small accessories make a home feel
cluttered.
3. Make something yourself that has meaning to
you both. For instance, make a stained glass icon to reflect light
in her bathroom window.
4. Find an old snapshot of you two from the past.
Get the picture touched up professionally and frame it in a frame
that blends in with her home decorations.
5. Give your friend a huge candle dressed up with
pearls, sequins, or seashells with a base that matches her style.
For instance, if she loves silver, crystal, ceramics, or brass,
choose that material.
If you give thought to your gift with these interior
decorating tips, you will make your friend happy.
