Tips for properly decorating the buffet or window for Christmas
Decorating functional pieces such as the buffet or the window for the holidays is not just a question of aesthetics: it is also a question of thinking practical!
Ideally, the sideboard or display case should not be the only decorated elements in the room. We therefore think about thinking about the decoration in a more global way, for example by installing decorations, or even the tree, nearby.
The sideboard, like the display case, is storage space that we use on a daily basis. When decorating them, we don’t lose sight of this, and we make sure that we can open and close them at will.
Nothing prettier than a lit window for Christmas. We of course rely on candles and LED garlands. When putting them in place, make sure you can easily access the switches, in order to avoid breakage!
The table centerpiece at Christmas is a must. The only small drawback: it does not always allow you to perform the service comfortably. The dining room buffet is very practical for storing dishes or crockery. We therefore think about it when decorating it, for example by favoring wall decoration rather than placing objects on the piece of furniture itself.
The mirror remains one of our favorite decorations above a low sideboard. So during the holidays, don’t forget to decorate it. The trendy option with a round mirror: the plant garland arranged asymmetrically.
To highlight the rectangular mirror, we instead play on the contrast of shapes, by adding a pretty Christmas wreath.
Decorating the buffet or window for Christmas: the most beautiful ideas
Garlands, candles, ornaments… To decorate the buffet or the window, the classics always have a small effect!
In this chic, immaculate white country window, Christmas mugs are transformed into real decorations. We love the decoration nestled under a glass bell – one of the essential decorative accessories for this Christmas 2023!
Very natural conifer branches create a harmonious contrast with the golden Christmas decorations, which match perfectly with the golden brass finish of the sideboard handles, the frame and the lamp.
The tartan pattern is one of the major decorating trends for Christmas 2023. If the plaid is a classic on the sofa or as a bed throw, it is more unexpected for decorating the sideboard. And yet, it’s great!
The tree and folded paper ornaments are among the “must haves” of these end-of-year celebrations. And why not install them in the window or on the sideboard?
The garland made up of bells borrowed from the Scandinavian Christmas look is all the rage. Combined with a light garland and a plant garland, it helps to bring the window buffet into Christmas mode.
Clever idea of having arranged the houses of this Christmas village and the trees among the dishes. This bias gives a lot of dynamism to the composition. The little extra that we love: the garland which illuminates the whole thing.
Framed by two fir trees, the Christmas village attracts all eyes. This buffet located in a passageway thus transforms into a strong piece, which takes the spotlight by creating a magical atmosphere upon entry.
Vintage nutcracker, dried orange slices and a gourmet-looking tree: here is a Christmas decoration full of fantasy, and one that will make your mouth water.
This sideboard is topped with a rectangular mirror which creates strong horizontal lines. We like the combination of candlesticks and lanterns which breaks up this effect of depth and brings dynamism to the decor.
