With every season comes different weather and of course, different holidays, so you’ll probably want to have different décor. We’re not talking about laying out the man made material area rugs on the back patio and the back stairs. Or the cheap lawn furniture you use in the summer to avoid having a true patio set—although, all of those things should be played out with caution to the weather as well.

When you’re working on your home for seasonal decorating, you should always make sure to keep your staple rooms solid and unchanging. One of the rooms I am never quite eager to make too many changes to is my dining room. If you’ve gone through painstaking measures to make your dining room perfect from top to bottom all you should really change for the holidays is tiny little additions.

I always add a gold and white ribbon to each of my dining room chairs at Christmas to make the room seem more festive as well as adding some gold grapes around the room to enhance the Italian winery motif.

But if you’re desperate to make a huge change that will deem your room as the must see for every season, you should first choose a good modern area rug in a solid color like a red area rug, an orange area rug and a green area rug. These three colors can be your staple rugs for most holidays and seasons. For example, from September to the end of November, you can keep the orange area rug in your dining room. From December to the end of February, you can use the red area rug and from March all the way through the end of summer, you can use the green area rug. Of course, mixing and matching is always best to make sure you have the best look for each season and holiday.

Other areas of the home are easier to decorate and easier to move around during the holidays and seasons. It’s always fun to change things up by using a holiday or seasonally themed area rug in areas of the home that don’t usually have an area rug. I always add a runner to my kitchen at different times of the year to show the holidays and the feelings of the season. In addition to the runners and small area rugs that I put up around the house I always make sure to have my staple decorations in different colors—curtains, throw pillows, wall hangings where possible—so I can keep the same style and motif but change the colors for the season. It’s the easiest way to be sure that I don’t have to put in too much work but can still celebrate each and every season that comes and goes.

Remember, decorating your home for seasons doesn’t have to be a stressful thing and you certainly don’t have to pack up all of your favorite belongings just to celebrate the season.
