What are your ideas to turn rooms into a Winter Wonderland?

I'm thinking of sheer drapes and lights long the walls, but expect that to be pricey. The snowflakes and candles hanging from the ceiling are also an idea, along with clear balloons with glitter.

Any more ideas? Please share.

Cheap and natural-looking. Otherwise I got nothing.

is a tougher sell here in Minnesota, where we prefer not to bring the outdoors inside. 😁

made from carved and painted pieces of discarded styrofoam. My favorite piece depicts Santa sitting in an outhouse. You gotta admit, it’s not something you’d find at the Hallmark store.

do some online research on "winter wonderland" and similar topics to get inspired. That's what professional theatrical and film designers do. Then you can visualize your space and see what you need.

In lots of various mail-order catalogs.

Every time someone hangs up snowflakes in my house, it snows. I don’t care for it.



Ps…you can get white twin sheets at Walmart for about 6 bucks. That’s what I use for sheer curtains. Cheaper and more durable than those gauzy sheers.
