The High Holidays are approaching fast. This is your opportunity to refresh your home and bring in a sense of sanctity and renewal. Whether you're hosting and want to create a festive atmosphere in advance, or you're visiting and want to feel the holiday spirit at home - we have just what you need. We've prepared a stylish guide to help you decorate your home in the spirit of the High Holidays, using colors, symbols, and natural materials:
- Apples and Pomegranates Around the House
Nothing symbolizes Rosh Hashanah more than apples and pomegranates. The idea is to place apples and pomegranates in various spots around the house. You can use glass bowls, wooden trays, or beautiful ceramic dishes to combine apples and pomegranates in a variety of colors. This simple arrangement adds a natural and beautiful touch, reminding you of the signs of the new year throughout the house.
Practical Tip: Place a bowl with apples and pomegranates at the center of the table or on a shelf at the entrance, and add green leaves for a natural, warming look.
- Children's Artwork as Part of Holiday Decor
There is no better way to bring a festive and joyful spirit into your home than incorporating the artwork that children have made in kindergarten or school. Their drawings, blessings, and decorations can add a personal and festive touch to your walls. These creations not only decorate your home but also give children a sense of pride and belonging.
Practical Tip: Hang the artwork in frames or on a string with colorful clips in a prominent place in the living room or dining area. This gives the entire home a warm and family feel, reminding you of the values that truly matter.
- Holiday Colored Flower Arrangements
Mixing flowers and natural branches creates a sense of freshness and renewal at home. During the High Holidays, you can use red and yellow flowers combined with branches. Besides the main centerpiece for the holiday table, it's good to prepare small arrangements and place them in various nooks throughout the house.
Practical Tip: Create small flower arrangements with green apples or red pomegranates, and place them in the living room, kitchen, and dining area. If you want flowers that will last all month, purchase high-quality artificial flowers in holiday colors.
- Rugs and Cushions in Autumn Shades
With the month of Tishrei comes autumn. It's time to introduce warm autumn colors like brown, orange, and gold into your home decor. These colors blend beautifully with the red, green, and yellow shades mentioned earlier. Mixing decorative cushions and small rugs in warm tones will give a sense of warmth and richness, welcoming guests who come for the holiday.
Practical Tip: Want to truly decorate with holiday symbols? Look for cushions with touches of red and green, or even cushions with pomegranate and apple embroidery. Explore different stores and surprise your family and guests.
- Enhancing the Candle Lighting Area
The new year presents a good opportunity to check – how does your candle lighting area look? Is it given the place of honor it deserves? Is the spot beautifully arranged throughout the year? Here, you light Shabbat and holiday candles, and during the holiday season, this area becomes especially active.
Practical Tip: Clean the candlesticks, polish the lighting cups, and purchase exquisite olive oil for the light. Add quality wicks to your purchase and combine a small flower bouquet nearby. Another idea is to choose an inspiring verse from the Rosh Hashanah prayer, print it on paper, and place it in a simple wooden frame next to the candles.
