The world has changed for the better, and so are our lifestyles. One thing that has changed is how people decorate their homes for the Christmas holidays. Decorating goes beyond ornaments and Christmas trees. When making your home look festive by adding a touch of beauty, it is also good to reorganize your furniture and change your wall color to transform your place to match the theme. Apart from adding warmth and happiness to your home, decorations can also create an inviting environment for friends and family. Think about the feeling you can get by waking up to a Christmas tree butterfly, tinsels-wrapped pillars, and Christmas lights surrounding your home. All these are ways you can elevate your Christmas décor. Use these creative tips to spice up your home on this holiday.
Select a Festive Theme
Christmas decorations bring mixed feelings of happiness, celebrations, and socialization. However, they can also be overwhelming, especially when you don’t know where to start or which colors or decorations to use. To ease the burden of confusion, choose a theme because it can help you be more organized and enjoy the process. With a theme, it is easier to plan which décor you want, where you need to go shopping, and how to install it efficiently. For instance, you can focus your theme on images like butterflies and make sure to have butterfly Christmas ornaments in all places set aside for decorations. You can also focus on color themes and ensure that red and green or blue and white rule the house. Developing a theme helps you envision and plan your décor properly.
Add a Theme Paint
Painting is part of decoration that not only beautifies the house during normal times but also during the holiday seasons. You can match your theme with a new coat of paint. Painting is a significant way of rejuvenating and warming up your home design. You can decide to paint a single wall, the entire home, or a table to just ensure that it complements the theme. Transform your home with a classic and clean white paint coat, or add some bold lines of green and red to your living home and along the hallway.
Lighting Candles and Fireplace
Fireplaces and candles can significantly transform and illuminate your place. They also create warmth and bring sentimental feelings. Your past memories can be rejuvenated by just sitting around candles or at a fireplace. Candle and fireplace lighting can also complete your decor making your home comfortable for dinners and festive activities.
Trim the Front Door
The front door is very important when it comes to inviting guests. It is the first thing visitors come across after coming to your home. Decorating makes your home more welcoming to both guests and passersby. Instead of using the traditional wreath and garlands, spice up your front door trimmings with greenery and seasonal signs like butterfly Christmas decorations. You can even put a faux potted plan on the doorstep and decorate it with your themed accessories. Place lighting around the frame of your front door and Christmas greetings along the entrance corridor.
Create a Festive Drink Area
Friends and family expect to share drinks when they come for holiday celebrations at your home. You can make this more fun by changing your bar area to a festive entertainment place for them. Have seasonal trimmings to decorate your home bar and stock it with traditional drinks such as mulled wine, cocoa, and eggnog. You might not have a home bar, but that should not deter you from creating a bar area. You can use your table and other décor to create a drinks bar, maybe near your doorway, to welcome guests.
In conclusion, holiday decorations are not all about placing a Christmas tree along the doorway or in the garden. People are revolutionizing and making the season more fun, enjoyable and memorable. Having a holiday theme and aligning all the other decorations with it makes it more fun. Use candles and a fireplace to enhance the warmth and lighting of the home. Decorate your front door with unique decorations to make your home inviting. You can also create a festive bar area where you will share drinks with friends and family.
