Crystal for Christmas: Decorating Tips for the Holidays

A sideboard table holds a collection of crystal vases in various shapes and sizes; each one cradles festive red berries and blooms.There is certainly no shortage of the classic colors of the season—red and green—when decorating for the holidays. A single crystal vase in a larger size could hold a sprawling bouquet of cherry-hued roses and tulips, but this cluster of more petite vessels is a smart use of gleaming objets d’art found in the drawers of the sideboard. Not only does this assemblage fill the space with holly jolly fragrance, but the cache can easily be scattered about the abode to spread Christmas cheer!

To ensure these accessories maintain superior form, keep crystalware away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure can cause fading and damage, so we recommend choosing a display location in a shaded area.
