Snow-covered rooftops. A warm cozy fire. Kids bundled up in coats, hats, gloves, and scarves… We often only think of winter and the holiday season the same stereotypical way in which media, films, and advertisements so often portray them. But if you live in a part of the country that doesn’t experience snow, or if you’re lucky enough to live near an ocean, your version of the holidays might look a little bit different.
We think that should be celebrated! Here at Zabitat, we love regional decor, and are proud to offer a wide variety of decorative door glass that pays homage to different regional trends. Now that the holidays are officially underway, let’s take a moment to explore some non-traditional ways you can decorate your home for Christmas, no matter where you live.
Check out the links and ideas below and have fun getting in the holiday spirit in your part of country!
