Event designer Edward Perotti tells Newsweek how he decorates for the holidays on a budget.
Knowing that my husband would have a few choice words if I spent too much money on a whim, not to mention where to store everything after the holidays, I began to think about key locations within the house to decorate, rather than filling every corner and shelf with 'stuff'. I gave myself a $150 budget to spend on house décor during the holiday season.
By going with a black and white theme, the ease of shifting to a New Year's Eve event is simple and almost unnecessary—you don't need to change everything out for each holiday, especially if you're strategic. A basic glass vase is a great item that is inexpensive and can service many needs. A resourceful way of using a vase is wrapping it in whichever fabric you're using for each theme.
I believe everyone is creative, the trick is to ignore the fear of listening to your own voice —especially if you tend to be hard on yourself. Look for inspiration and trust yourself. It's a hard lesson to learn, but learning it frees your mind and creative soul. That was a little deep, but it's true.
