Deck The Halls – And The Lounge…
Boughs of holly, five gold rings, jingle bells and sleigh bells – Christmas is coming and the decor is coming out! Push aside the idea of an “Insta-worthy” home, it’s time to embrace a little tradition, a little tackiness and a lot of cheese to create a Christmas that the whole family can enjoy.
Christmas is just around the corner and with your home looking bare, it’s time to catch up and get decorating. You need to make your home look Christmassy, and to get ready for the holiday season. Below, we’ve got a few ways you can deck the halls and make them look as classy and festive as possible!
Stick With The Traditional. There are many different styles of decor out there, but the traditional pieces in the home are what echo the Christmases of years gone by. For example, handmade green wreaths or the best Polish pottery selection of Father Christmas for the mantelpiece make the home look traditionally Christmassy. The traditional elements really make a difference to the house and are something to feel wonderful about as the years go by.
Pre-Lit Trees Save Time. Let’s be honest, the tree is the focus point for any home at Christmas time. It’s the element that draws the eye. However, not everyone is interested in their Christmas tree being wrapped in lights, which can be a hazard. Instead, why not invest in a pre-lit tree that glows gently and beautifully through the season?
Room Lights. Twinkling in the windows, reflected in the snowflakes are lights around the room. Go for white lights for a classy look and go for colorful bulbs for the traditional – if a little tacky – look. There is nothing wrong with a little tackiness at Christmas, and it’s encouraged. By us, anyway!
Throw On Some Garlands. There are a few ways you can go with this one. Garlands can be the foil kind that you hang from the ceiling, or they can be the natural kind that you wind around the stairways. There are so many different Christmas colors and styles that garlands can really make a difference to your home this year. Feeling festive? Try out these garland ideas on Pinterest!
Something Homemade. Lastly, you should think about getting the kids involved in decorating the house. Even if you only have nieces and nephews running around, you should embrace the paper chains and cut-out snowflakes you could have around your home. Glitter glue is a must, as is brightly colored paint.
All of these options are fantastic for adding a little Christmas cheer to your home this year, and you can really choose to do something amazing for your home. No matter what, Christmas is a time for beauty and delight, and you can really achieve that with your decorations this year. Be safe with your decoration choices, following the advice set out here. It’s the season to be jolly, so get your music on and beautify your home for the season of Goodwill!
