Tis’ the season to be jolly – with a jolly looking house to go with it!
So what’s the fuss with Christmas decorations? Your home most likely stays the same throughout the whole year with no change to it except maybe a new doormat and fridge magnet every now and then. There is no reason why our houses should not be spoiled with sparkle and shimmer throughout December!
Christmas decorations can be simplistic and stylish or darn-right dramatic. Whichever style you prefer, you can guarantee that a bit of tinsel will brighten up your winter.
Listed below are a few new, fresh ways that you can bring the festive spirit to your property:
1. Christmas Tree
The Christmas tree is without doubt the centre-piece to any festive home. It is also the main attraction to your living room and the best thing to decorate with the whole family. Traditional trees tend to be covered in matching baubles and tinsel, with a star or angel to top it off. Modern Christmas trees can be different colours, coated in faux snow or maybe even made out of a different material. Many people hate the fuss of putting a tree up and putting it down again, so the idea of having 2D tree put up on a wall appeals to many. The best way to decorate a tree is with images of the family and plenty of personal touches!
2. Lighting
Fairy lights are well and truly beautiful when scattered over a tree or round a window, but what other choices do you have? Majestic candles can look stunning in your home, especially if they are surrounded by ribbons, bows and mistletoe. You could also hang lovely Christmas lanterns outside of your home, to give a warm welcome to all your guests.
3. Dining room table
If your family are joining you for festive celebrations and food, you might want to consider the overall look of your dining table. You can use beautiful red roses and other red and green plants to create a centrepiece that brings the table to life. You might even want to buy fresh cutlery that brings the Christmas spirit to your food, or even more candles to light the dining area up.
4. Ornaments
There are hundreds of ornaments available to buy that would really stand out in your family home. Some of the most popular ornaments that people like to decorate with are Santa Claus figures, nativity scenes and festive train track sets. If you have a home full of children you might like to add reindeer’s or musical ornaments.
Christmas is a time to take the dullness away from your property and make it a place that you and your family love spending time in. Don’t be afraid to get wacky and wonderful with as many decorations as your festive heart desires!
