When your in-laws drop by for an extended weekend and your closest friends gather around the table, what will they remember most? The scent of pine and rows of twinkling lights may signal the holidays, but the secret to a home that is merry and bright lies in mood-setting, memory-making art. The foyer, your breakfast nook, the family room—each space has the potential to feel festive and timeless with the right painting or print. Discover how to decorate for the holidays with five spaces to spruce up with creativity.Entryway: Bold First ImpressionsA warm welcome looks like being greeted with artwork you love. Add an art piece to your console table to make guests pause before they even take off their coats. If you’re looking for an affordable seasonal refresh, create a small gallery with holiday-themed prints.Living Room: Host with the MostThe living room is the heart of your gatherings, playing host to clinking glasses and movie marathons. Hanging a statement artwork above the mantel channels all that energy. Choose a bold abstract to keep spirits high or a serene landscape to balance things out.Dining Room: Art That Sparks ConversationBetween courses and conversation, your art can do a little entertaining of its own. A painting with warm undertones can echo the glow of candlelight. A minimalist composition or nature-inspired work adds balance amid the seasonal décor. Textural or dramatic art can make every meal—holiday or otherwise—feel beautifully composed. Discover Saatchi Art curator’s picks for the dining room for inspiration.Bedrooms: Your Cozy EscapesBedrooms are places for respite and recharge away from all the busy bodies and bustle. A touch of art makes these rooms a sanctuary that’s as inspiring as it is restful. Go for seasonal palettes in abstract compositions to capture that cozy feeling without loud holiday kitsch.Overlooked Spaces: Create Unexpected JoyThink of all the places that blur into the background during the day-to-day. Hallways, reading nooks, desks, and stair landings are hidden-in-plain-sight chances for seasonal cheer. A dreamy portrait can call you to a warmly lit corner with a cup of warm cocoa. A dynamic abstract can keep the energizing holiday buzz during work hours.Ready to bring home your holiday home decor?
