Christmas is a time for family, friends, and of course, decorating your home. This year, make your home stand out with these five fun and festive ideas for decorating your space.
Bring the outdoors in with a Christmas tree.
There’s nothing more festive than a Christmas tree in the living room. If you don’t have the space for a real tree, opt for a small artificial one that can sit on a table top. Decorate it with fairy lights, baubles and tinsel to really bring the Christmas spirit into your home.
Make your own festive wreath.
Wreaths are a classic Christmas decoration and look beautiful hung on doors or walls. You can buy pre-made wreaths from most supermarkets and florists, or get creative and make your own using fake snow, pine cones, berries and ribbons.
Get cozy with blankets and pillows.
Make your home extra inviting this Christmas by adding some cozy touches like blankets and pillows in festive colors or patterns. Drape them over furniture or place them in baskets around the house so they’re easy to grab when you want to curl up on the sofa with a mug of hot cocoa.
Create a holiday vignette.
A vignette is a small arrangement of decorations that creates a visual impact. To create a holiday vignette in your home, choose a few favorite Christmas decorations – such as an angel figurine, nativity scene or Santa Claus – and display them on a mantlepiece, shelf or side table. Surround them with candles, greenery or Christmas lights to really make them stand out.
Deck the halls with garlands and lights.
garlands and lights are an easy way to add some Christmas cheer to any room in your house. Drape garlands over doorways, fireplaces or stair railings, or dangle them from the ceiling for an added touch of holiday magic. String fairy lights around windows, mirrors or picture frames to brighten up any space – inside or out!
