1 – Decorate the house as a whole
When we think of “Christmas decor,” certain essentials naturally come to mind. This is the case of the tree, which is traditionally the central piece of decoration, or even of the Christmas wreath which adorns the front door. However, decorating just a space here or there is not recommended, as the effect produced is very artificial. To succeed in your Christmas decoration, it is best to think big, by decorating the whole house.
To bring the house into Christmas time, you don’t need to overdo it: for example, you can hang a stocking, a wreath or a Christmas ornament on the door handles.
Don’t hesitate to spruce up passageways: the entrance, of course, but also the staircase.
Nothing stops you when it comes to Christmas decor? Redress the furniture too!
2 – Choose a harmonious palette for the entire decor
When it comes to Christmas decor, there are two teams: people who stick to trends, and those who prefer to give free rein to their desires and their inspiration. It doesn’t matter whether you opt for traditional red and green, a very modern blue, white or nude, or any other color. To succeed in your Christmas decoration, the important thing is to choose a harmonious and coherent palette.
Concretely, it is recommended to stick to 2 to 3 colors maximum, and to use them to decorate the tree, the room and the New Year’s Eve table.
A big Christmas trend for 2023, the frosty Christmas atmosphere works just as well in an interior dominated by wood as in a very colorful interior.
For fans of a very colorful Christmas decoration, it is important to take your interior into account. In a room with neutral decor, anything goes. In a room with colored walls, it is better to opt for monochrome or a complementary color.
3 – Choose a style that matches that of your interior
Christmas decoration is an opportunity to reinvent your interior and create a magical decor. However, to be sure to avoid a lack of taste, it is recommended to choose a look that goes harmoniously with that of your interior.
In a refined interior, you can dare almost anything. On the other hand, in a country or shabby chic interior, a vintage decor is more suitable than a contemporary decor.
4 – Dare to DIY and divert objects
A successful Christmas decoration is above all a decoration that suits you and, ideally, that you cannot find everywhere! The trick? Dare to DIY decorations, recovery and misuse of objects!
Garlands, candlesticks or wreaths are some of the simplest pieces to make. There are even many DIY Christmas decoration ideas that are easy to make with your children!
5 – A chill decor
A successful Christmas decoration is not only pretty to look at: it also offers you an intimate and friendly environment for the holidays.
We therefore think of cushions, throws or rugs, in order to create an interior in which it is good to relax and relax!
Above all, we think about sprucing up the bedroom (and we take the opportunity to bring the magic of Christmas into the children’s room!). Think about the flannel set, super cozy!
6 – Think of Christmas scents
Each season, its scents! For the end of year celebrations, we have the choice between very natural scents such as fir or more delicious scents like the orange/cinnamon duo, hot chocolate or gingerbread.
Scented candles are of course classics. However, you can prefer the plant-based option by choosing dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks or star anise, which allow you to scent the house while creating pretty decorations.
7 – Light up the decor
The little touch of magic that enhances Christmas decor? Light, of course!
We therefore think of candles and LED garlands, which we integrate with plant decorations, for a very decorative effect day and night.
