The festive season is upon us, so it means it’s time to head to your loft, garage, or whichever dark corner of your home where you stow away your Christmas decorations for the rest of the year and unleash that festivity.
It’s easy to roll out the same, sentimental decorations each year, however there’s no reason you can’t incorporate trend and direction to your Christmas decor.
When deciding on how to decorate your home for Christmas it’s a good idea to have a think about a colour scheme and the overall atmosphere you want to create. Perhaps you want to go with a traditional theme, or maybe you want to go a bit more modern and minimalist. Whichever you choose, here’s a few Christmas Decor ideas to get you in the mood.
Winter Wonderland
Thinking about going for an icey, winter wonderland decor this year? Invest in some tasteful silver, blue and glass baubles for your tree along with some bright white lights. This will instantly bring a magical Narnia feel to your home, and if you feel like going one step further, include avantgarde white hanging decorations to really inject some style into your Christmas decorations.
Have A Traditional Victorian Christmas
The art of Christmas only came into play in Victorian times when the UK adopted the German custom of the Tannenbaum… also known as a Christmas Tree. To achieve a traditional Victorian Christmas look, add gold rotary tealight holders to your home along with spiced orange pomander balls. The pomanders will really make your home’s atmosphere feel traditional and cosy. Warm white fairy lights will also add a more muted twinkle to your Christmas home decor.
Barely There Christmas Decorations
If you’re someone who can’t bare the clutter of Christmas in your home then there’s a few minor twists you can add to the home to show a bit of Christmas spirit. Add a festive tint to your home with a light installation as opposed to a Christmas tree. Light installations such as this one from House of Fraser are perfect for creating a point of focus.
Ski Lodge Chic
For that cosy Nordic look, add Fair Isle print throw cushions to your sofa, and a stack of logs next to the fire place. Heavy, natural fabrics are a must to achieve this tasteful wintery look for your home. From fur throws to a roaring fireplace, you can achieve a warm and cosy atmosphere without having to go overboard on Christmas decorations.
