When you decide to deck your halls for the holidays, you’re probably keeping in mind those who will enjoy it with you: your family and the folks who come by for festivities. Maybe you’re even “doing it for the ‘gram.” Either way, making your home merry is important.
In a recent survey, JCPenney found that 49% of people plan to host this holiday season and 54% will specifically decorate to make their homes more festive. JCPenney even found that more than half of Americans believe doing so helps make their holiday guests’ experience better.
Now you just have to pick your holiday decor theme. Is your aesthetic traditional with all the red, green and classic touches? Are you more of a maximalist who enjoys shiny accent pieces, rich colors, and lush textures? Or do you prefer a snowy, soft and natural vibe?
Whichever look you’re going for, JCPenney can help you deck your halls without emptying your wallet. The company plans to keep its prices on many popular holiday decor items at 2019 pre-inflation levels.
Here are three distinct holiday decor themes — Very Merry, Midnight Magic and Frosty’s Hug — and all of the decor items you need to bring each vision to life!
