10 Ways to Bring Christmas to Your Home
I absolutely love this time of year, especially because it’s Christmas! Not only does it bring warm, sunny weather, but it also means delightful parties where we gather with friends and family to relish yummy food and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Additionally, I truly enjoy getting out our Christmas decorations and styling our home for the festive season.
I’m excited to share a few decorating tips I’ve gathered along the way.
1. Think Outside of the Box
I have been known to put 6″ high Christmas trees on a low table in the corner of rooms (between two lounges); this way, they create a commanding impact and an amazing welcome to all who enter. On another occasion I moved a full dining table and chairs to a different room in order to give the Christmas tree centre stage. Therefore, in reality, there are many opportunities to think more laterally so that you can achieve the particular look you’re wanting for your home.
2. Consider Nature
How about a fresh tree this year? Enjoy the forrest fresh aroma a pine tree will bring to your home. You could get some pine cones and display them in a nice big basket or bowl. Take your party outside, set up your dining table in your backyard and enjoy the great aussie outdoors.
3. Choose a Colour Scheme and Theme
Change it every year to keep things fresh. Our colour scheme this year is silver and gold. All our Christmas decorations are silver and gold, we have left the tinsel of this year as we were wanting a more classic look and opted to use gold pearls instead. You could also have a fun colourful colour scheme and use pinks, yellows, greens, blues etc… Get the kids to make colourful paper chains and their own fun colourful baubles for a more casual bright fun look.
4. Add Meaning
I always love to have a Nativity Scene as this reminds me of the meaning of Christmas. Another meaningful addition, is our Christmas snow globe that reminds us of family members that aren’t with us. You may have special handmade decorations that you hang on your tree every year that remind you of someone special or a special memory. You can add meaning to Christmas by creating new memories. Christmas is a special time, sentiment and continuing family traditions really do add meaning to this beautiful season.
5. Style a Christmas Table
It doesn’t have to have all matching chairs or even tables for that matter. Put on a table cloth and a lovely home made centrepiece pulling through your colour scheme, or use some fresh flowers, candles, bon bons and sit down together to enjoy the delicious feast of food and great conversation.
6. Create Inviting Seating Nooks
If you are hosting a party, look at your seating layout and put out some side tables near chair clusters for people to put their drinks on and for some nibbles to be sat on so you are creating a nice little spot for 2 or 3 people to sit and chat. You can do the same with bean bags and low coffee tables. Your guests will love and appreciate this extra effort.
7. Don't Forget the Rest of Your Home
Don’t forget the rest of your house. Style the surfaces of your home with your Christmas theme, remove and store everyday decorator items and recreate each space with a new look.
8. Fairy Lights bring Ambience
Don’t be afraid to use them and lots of them. They add fabulous atmosphere to your home and to party’s. I am using warm white lights this year to go with my classic theme.
9. Festive Music
Make a playlist. Get some Christmas carols playing. Get your guests in a good party mood from the moment they arrive.
10. Bake some Christmas Treats
Bake, create, get out the old favourite recipes and spoil your guests with some scrumptious delights.
