Christmas decorations comes in a variety of colors and styles. So first thing is first, pick your style. Pick something that represents you, especially if you're going to be looking at it for over a month. It's just like picking out your home decor style. There's the traditional red and green, winter white, golds or the glamorous pink and blue. Make sure it represents your style and just go with it. To get you started, here are a few tips to get you along your way to creating the most fabulous Christmas decor.
Entering A Christmas Wonderland: When walking into your home, you want it to immediately give off that Christmas vibe. Start with your entryway. Let beautiful garland adorn your door and welcome your guests with a beautiful floral arrangement. Nothing says welcome into my Christmas home better.
An indoor wreath would be ideal to start showing off your Christmas style. Which you can create a wreath out of almost anything from fabric, ribbon, string, sweaters to even candy! Recycle what you have around your home. For our Christmas dinner party, we created an indoor Christmas wreath out of recyclable sweaters. Be sure to watch our Christmas wreath tutorial to get you started. See, you can create a holiday wreath out of almost anything! Let your guests feel welcomed by all the holiday warmth they feel when they walk into your home.
The Main Focus: Of course, your main focal point of the house is the Christmas tree. Start showing off your style through that. There are endless possibilities while creating your tree. Start with the colorful lights and add some beautiful ribbon, mesh or beautiful garland.
Add feathers, sparkly Christmas picks, ornaments or your little one's handmade ornaments. You can go modern, contemporary or traditional; it's completely up to you. There are tons of new trends, upside down Christmas trees, covering them completely in ribbon and mesh, bold colors and themed trees. So, which one will you choose?
All The Right Accessories: Along with the tree, focus on pulling all the right Christmas accessories to finish off the look. Decorate with the extra ribbon or garland you have left over and decorate your mantle. You'll probably have some of your things left over, so reuse it.
Set out snowflakes, extra ornaments, nutcrackers, Santa figurines, nativity scenes or snowmen. Make it personal and add homemade Christmas decorations, like a fabric tree, handmade wreath or home-made ornaments. There are so many options out there, so find your style and have fun with it.
Whatever your style, you should definitely show that throughout your home. Especially with holiday decorating. If you are throwing a party or just enjoying the holidays together with family, be sure to bring the holiday spirit into your home. Your guests will enjoy it, as well as you.
