How to Make a White Christmas Theme

Decorating without color does not have to be bland or even simple. A white-dominant theme can add elegance and calmness to an otherwise busy Christmas season. Here's how you can spice up the cold season.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Create a budget and map out a decorating plan for your house. Know exactly how much area or space needs to be decorated. This will help determine the need for indoor or outdoor decorations. White lights, tree bulbs, dishware and plants are some suggestions for this theme.
2. Think about how much time can be dedicated to creating your white Christmas decor. Homemade bows can be relatively easy if you want to make 3 or 4, but if you want to fill your house with them it will be a much more time-consuming task. Fabric swags and white lights are quick, and relatively inexpensive ways to create a nice display. Find a white throw rug or even a large bathmat to completely change the look of a room and accomplish the overall theme.
3. Create a shopping list. Start early so you can get the best sales and enjoy not hustling at the last minute. Create a place in the garage or house to store the supplies until the day to decorate. Keep a list of things that have been purchased in order to avoid duplication.
4. Plan a date to decorate and make sure everyone is available and ready. Take time to assemble bows, make cookies and clean before you begin. Delegate responsibilities so that people are not feeling overwhelmed.
5. Play a CD with a medley of Christmas songs while you and your elves decorate. Crank up the volume when the song "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" comes on.
