How to decorate your home for Christmas?

Christmas is just around the corner and you feel the urge to make your home ready for the occasion.

For some people, decorating their home with Christmas decorations is an important moment of fun and sharing, especially if lived in the company of loved ones.

If you want to have fun with the furnishings but at the same time propose original solutions, which are not only the classic fir tree with balls or the traditional crib, in this article you will find a series of interesting ideas (or guidelines if you prefer!), which can help you get a joyful result and at the same time elegant and refined.

This is a series of tricks that do not involve an accumulation of disorganized objects but a series of interesting points and ideas, to be realized even with a pleasant DIY.

Let's dive into the world of the holidays and see what surprises next Christmas might have in store for us.

Start with lighting

An aspect that is too often little considered is thelighting of the house for Christmas, which should instead be the starting point to start decorating the various rooms. No one would want to spend December 25 in a dimly lit house!

The suggestion is to opt for small LED lights, choosing a single color for the interior and reserving the multicolor for the outdoor space.

The aim is to create an environment that is warm and welcoming but not too confusing and in this sense the best solution is the warm lighting, which encourages conversation and makes the whole environment more magical.

In addition to decorating the profile of the windows and the door, a touch of originality would be to create a point of light inside a glass bell, where you will have inserted some light wires around a typical Christmas object, such as the lovely Exner Nutcracker, available in various sizes and colors so that it can adapt to the style you have chosen.

Lovers of gold can instead illuminate some areas of the house with fun knick-knacks all to turn on, such as the Santa Claus with Big Tree Light inserted in a snowy context and bearer of wonderful gifts.

You can also use LEDs above the consoles and furniture, wrapping them softly around typical elements of the holidays, such as the Carillon Sphere with Rhinestones Crib which plays a delightful and engaging melody.

There are many solutions at your disposal, the essential thing is that they are proposed only in certain areas to avoid an effect of overcrowding that would make the whole decoration lose balance and good taste.

Choose a style and keep it

When you decide to decorate your home for Christmas, the advice is to choose a very precise style and especially a color palette that will be respected in all elements.

If for example you choose to opt for the Underplate Red Schonhuberdon't add any blue textiles or any textiles that contrast with this chromatic choice.

The most traditional colors are red, combined with gold or white, blue, combined with silver and, if you want to refer to the minimal Nordic currents, the natural wood that proves elegant and refined in any context.

Whatever trend fascinates you, bring it forward in every room and do not make a hodgepodge of ideas that would only ruin the final result

Create a Christmas console

Usually the attention during the Christmas season is all about the decorated tree, which often becomes the only festively decorated element.

Why don't you decide to go against the trend this year and create a Christmas console table full of bright and festive elements?

First you can illuminate the cabinet with a string of warm LEDs, which can be placed on the surface or alternatively follow the profile of the cabinet.

Then start placing objects on the horizontal plane, taking care not to distribute them everywhere but creating well-balanced areas symmetrically.

If you place, for example, candles of various sizes on one side, group them in an elegant way and leave a space with the garland that you are going to place not far away.

Interesting in this sense is the use of snowballs or nutcrackers of various sizes, figures that recall the magic of Christmas and make the house ready for the longest night of the year.

At the center of the console spread a runner as the Desiring Gold Emily Homewhich with its red and white fantasy enhances the festive atmosphere and decorates the space.

Can not miss the small transparent vases in which to place a poinsettia or branches of Holly, which with its red berries will give a Christmas touch but at the same time elegant and refined.

The secret is to play with the shades and geometries, so that the eye is captured without feeling overwhelmed by too many elements

Use textiles

Inside a home, textile elements are essential when it comes to decoration.

It would be unthinkable to include Christmas items without the table and sofa carefully following this mood.

In fact, lunch and dinner are the most important moments of the holidays, as the family comes together and great food is consumed in merriment.

Therefore, choose the right tablecloth according to the style you are carrying out, such as the Rudolph Emily Home, which with its delicate but at the same time joyful designs will make the meal much more cheerful.

Use matching gold plates, placing a homemade garland with woven wood and dried fruit as the centerpiece.

Once you're done eating, you'll move along with your loved ones to the couch, to relax together and finally unwrap the presents.

A well-made decoration requires that even the pillows follow the Christmas trend, using red or decorated pillowcases that adorn in a discreet but at the same time evident one of the most important areas of the house.

Indulge your imagination and alternate single-color pillows to others with typical textures and designs, so as to create an intimate and cozy effect.

The magic of garlands and lanterns

The house is not only composed of the rooms inside but also provides outdoor spaces of different sizes.

Therefore, do not forget to illuminate the terrace or the entrance, using wires of LEDs and lanterns of different sizes, to be placed next to the door one next to the other and make the entrance very welcoming.

Fun is to follow with the lights the profiles of the windows and the door, creating a geometry that is refined and not too intrusive.

You could also take an Advent Calendar from Il Mondo dei Carillon, very much in vogue in recent years, which with its lights and sounds will make your Christmas truly unique.

On the door you certainly can not miss a garland made with care, which follows the mood of the decorations chosen.

Finally, remember to replace the usual doormat with one specifically designed to celebrate Christmas.

There are some very funny ones on the market, with nice phrases that can welcome your guests even before entering.

These are just a few of the ideas you can put into action, but Christmas is a holiday that stimulates the imagination, so green light to your creativity.
