With the holidays coming up, you may already be on the prowl for the perfect gift for your family and friends. But as you work on filling up the spaces beneath their Christmas trees, don’t forget to get your own house in order (literally!) and refresh your space for 2021’s winter season by planning out your own Yuletide celebration home decor.
The question is, how do you go about creating a breathtaking winter wonderland in your home? Here’s a rundown on the top tips for wowing your holiday guests with awesome Christmas decor during the most wonderful time of the year.
Create an Iconic Christmas Wreath
With sustainability being front and center of many consumers’ minds for the past few years, 2021 remains an excellent time to add a “green” touch to your holidays by creating your own natural wreath.
Natural wreaths are the perfect sustainable alternatives to traditional holiday decor due to their eco-friendly vibe combined with their superior beauty when compared with plastic options. Materials like foliage, berries, and twigs are all you need to create the perfect Christmas wreath to bring a touch of the evergreen outdoors inside during the holiday season.
Then, feel free to add your children’s Christmas-themed artwork, surrounded by custom kids’ art frames, beside the wreath for a truly innocent and eye-catching addition to your holiday wall.
Generate Your Own Minimalist Christmas Tree
These days, many homeowners are going for more of a minimalist design when it comes to one of the holiday season’s most quintessential pieces of decor: the Christmas tree. Take, for instance, a small tree with bare branches featuring baubles that are similar in color and shape. These baubles can easily be attached to a wall or door and arranged in the form of a mini Christmas tree.
Creating a tree using decorative balls is a unique way to pay homage to the timeless Christmas tree without having to clean up pine needles from your carpet as Christmas draws near. Feel free to outline the Christmas-ball tree with a light garland to add a bright, breathtaking touch to your “less is more” decor.
If you want to use your Christmas tree as decor for taking holiday family pictures, consider also adding a rustic children’s wooden bench beside the tree for a postcard-worthy photo op.
Produce a Christmas Table Setting Fit for Royalty
Outside of your Christmas tree, your dinner table will likely take center stage on Christmas Day. So why not make this family gathering place one that will make the whole family feel like Christmas kings and queens? You can easily do this by creating a wonderland-themed table setting that will capture eyes and hearts every time.
First, you’ll need to choose two colors to create a winning color scheme. For instance, go with green and red, gold and red, or blue and white garlands. Then, feel free to add accent decorations that are white, silver, or gold, like placemats and napkins. Also, add candles and lights to enhance your garlands’ brightness.
Consider also adding mirrors to further enhance your setup. You can even incorporate into your decor a beautiful glass box for holding your Christmas cards, which can add a sophisticated touch to your holiday scenery.
Take Your Christmas Decor to the Next Level This Holiday Season
Now couldn’t be a more ideal time to start planning an indoor Christmas setup that will knock your loved one’s Christmas socks off. It’s the perfect addition to any holiday family gathering, and it’s just what you need to end the year on a festive, jolly note time and time again.
Fortunately, with the right mixture of natural wreaths, the perfect table setup, and Christmas tree decor, you can create an unforgettable, outside-of-the-box Christmas scene that is perfect for decking the halls in the coming months.
