It’s that beautiful season when there’s a nip in the air, but the festival’s love, kindness and joy warm the bones. And while you may still be wondering what to give your loved ones, what to rustle up for the perfect Christmas meal, don’t let your home take a backseat. After all, spending quality time at home with family and friends is what Christmas is all about. With a bit of inspiration, it’s really not that hard to transform your living space into a veritable wonderland this year.
“Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la!”
Not just your halls but every room in the house could do with a touch of magic to make it a Christmas haven. Here are our top tried and tested Christmas decorations to keep it chic and elegant and yet rooted in opulent tradition.
Transform Your Living Room With Hanging Christmas Home Decorations
The quintessential Christmas show-stopper is, of course, the tree! Standing tall, topped off with a sparkling golden star or delicate-winged angel, the tree embodies the Christmas spirit. We say, don’t break with tradition, but go all out and adorn it with quirky and unique hanging Xmas decorations this year. Ornaments boasting family pictures, handmade felt hanging decorations, and hand-painted wooden and glass baubles will elevate your tree and give it real character.
Minimalistic Yet Fun Christmas Decorations To Try Out This Year
If your living room is small and cannot accommodate a towering tree, worry not. You can always opt for a tabletop tree or a tree in a jar. Minimalistic and fun! While wrapping gifts to stack under the tree go with a colour theme – you can choose from classic Christmas tones or opt for something different to up the kitsch factor!
Indoor Christmas Decorations To Bring In A Joyous Vibe
Empty corners, standalone tables, and even fireplaces can be beautifully adorned for Christmas. A lush wreath woven with aromatic pine cones and vibrant red ribbons instantly welcomes the festive spirit. The glow of nestled candles adds warmth and cosiness. Sparkling miniature ornaments catch the flickering light, while additional seasonal touches like twinkling lights, stockings, or festive figurines weave a touch of enchantment into the wintry atmosphere.
Christmas Table Decorations For Your Dining Room
The dining table will be the star of your Christmas meal and deserves equal attention to detail. Elegant metallics in snowflake silver or starlight gold pair beautifully with natural pine cones and light-coloured and rustic wooden serveware. As an Xmas centrepiece, you can put together an easy candle stand with a bunch of small twigs or cinnamon sticks. And voila! You have the perfect table setting for the perfect Christmas feast. If you have steered clear of bright colours on the table, indulge with bright wreaths of evergreens hanging from light fittings, windows or door frames.
Christmas Home Decor To Brighten Up Your Bedroom
It’s tough to get out of bed in this weather, but the right Christmas additions to the bedroom will bring a smile to your sleepy face. A bright-coloured contrasting blanket strewn over the bed can be supplemented with a few matching throw cushions. Strategically placed red and gold candles on bedside tables or window sills can do wonders to break the dreariness of winter. Even a string of fairy lights casually draped over the headboard or across the dresser will instantly bring a Christmas feel to the room.
Christmas Decoration Ideas For Your Modular Kitchen
Your guests may not wander into your sacred space – the kitchen – but you are going to want to be inspired while rustling up a scrumptious hearty Christmas meal or even a hot cup of cheer (aka cocoa!). Kitchen cabinets can be easily decked up with sprigs or garlands of evergreens – fresh ones lend a beautiful aroma to home too. Festive ribbons in the holiday colours – in checks, polka dots or chevrons – can be tied around pots and vases. Dull corners can be spruced up in a trice with brightly coloured candles. And you can easily swap out ordinary plates for solid red ones to complete your Christmas kitchen decor.
Spread The Sparkle With Happy & Merry Christmas Decorations
Apart from obvious rooms, you can easily infuse Christmas spirit into any nook or cranny of your house. If you have a staircase running down the centre of your home, don’t forget to drape an eclectic Christmas garland and fairy lights along the bannister. You can even hang up decorative stockings on the staircase for a merrier look.
DIY Christmas House Decor Ideas For Festive Vibe
Simple and handmade decorations are sometimes the best options, as they are easy on the pocket and eye. A table or corner filled with homemade lanterns – old glass bottles filled with string lights – looks both quirky and festive.
Christmas Door Decorations For A Jolly Welcome
A traditional Christmas wreath on your front door and matching wide ribbons on potted plants look warm and inviting.
These tiny little touches and tweaks to the mundane can spruce up your home and help you create the ideal setting for a cosy Christmas. After all, this holiday is about family and you deserve the perfect ambience in your home to amplify the festive vibes. So, as December races to the finish line, wrap up your Christmas in a neat little bow. Be ready to welcome love, joy and peace into your home this holiday season and, of course, maybe even Santa Claus too!
