Taking down the Christmas lights, un-fluffing the tree and packing away the colorful, glittery and festive holiday decorations in January can leave your house feeling desolate. Suddenly, there is an empty space in our living rooms and on our walls that didn’t seem as noticeable as before. In order to combat this home loneliness (and the general sadness we all feel after the holidays end!), there’s only one thing to do: go shopping!

Fill the holiday-décor hole in your home with bright decorations, wall hangings and pretty new pieces sure to fill you with joy during a long winter. Below you’ll find a few of our favorite pieces to get you started.
