Once you know what kind of decorator you are and the look and feel you want to achieve with your holiday decor, it’s time to start planning. Here are some helpful tips straight from designers that will help you get organized and make shopping for decor easier.

• Holiday expert Matthew Mead reminds us that wreaths are not only for the front door. They make great centerpieces for the table, too!
• Wedding planner Matthew Robins says his favorite trick is to buy large quantities of inexpensive items, such as apples.
• Designer David Stark says many people forget that presents also make great decor, too! “Instead of wrapping them and sticking them in a closet, I suggest wrapping them early in a palette that works for your home and putting them out in little vignettes.”
