Worried about your Christmas tree looking a little sparse? Need an inexpensive way to decorate that empty fireplace mantle? Let HGTV.com’s new Holiday Inspirations video series help.  HGTV’s popular designers show you how to deck the halls with easy projects from nature-inspired trees to sophisticated, dramatic table arrangements, to nostalgic foyers with fresh greenery and berries.

This 25-episode series features five unique holiday ideas each from designers Monica Pedersen (Designed to Sell), John Gidding (Designed to Sell), Genevieve Gorder (Dear Genevieve), Lauren Lake (Spice Up My Kitchen), and “Sparkle” Josh Johnson (finalist of HGTV Design Star 2). Through videos, as well as accompanying photos and articles, HGTV.com shows users how to easily transform their homes.

Highlights include:

Genevieve Gorder, host of “Dear Genevieve,” shows a budget-friendly way to get back in touch with Mother Nature while decorating your tree with moss and decorative birds.

Lauren Lake creates an elegant fireplace for Kwanzaa by using festive foliage that stays true to the warm colors of the holiday.

Monica Pedersen designs her traditional tablescape setting around a simple piece of home décor fabric and creates an easy do-it-yourself piece of wall art with Christmas ornaments.

“Sparkle” Josh Johnson turns an empty entryway into a dramatic area to greet guests by simply draping decorative fabrics and using large, metallic vases and pillar candlesticks.

John Gidding treats the front of a home as a blank canvas, covering it with a wash of fuchsia floodlights to add a contemporary touch.

These little tips and ideas are only a handful that can be found on HGTV.com’s “Holiday Inspiration” series. Check out additional creations at HGTV.com. (http://www.hgtv.com/holidaydecor)
