It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With the holidays fast-approaching there is plenty of time to get festive. Deck the halls (and every room in the house) by making your home the jolliest on the block. Infuse your home with some of these brilliant ideas that are sure to get everyone in the spirit. Your holiday aesthetic just got way more merry. Let’s get decorating!
1. Set a Holiday Scene
Do not limit your décor to the classic Christmas tree and wreath. Spread the Christmas cheer to your living room or outdoor space (if living in a warm climate!) and create a holiday scene. Create a warm and cozy retreat in which serves as the perfect place to snuggle up with a blanket or sip a cup of hot cocoa on a winter’s night. Decorate the space with comfy pillows and blankets. Allow your Christmas tree to be take center stage with sparkling lights, while adding alluring greenery around the space. Hang your wreath above the lit fireplace and stock a miniature bar with your holiday drinks of choice, resulting in a cozy Christmas gathering space.
2. Make an Entrance
Create an entryway that will be forever remembered. Greet your guests with grand decorations on your front door and porch by decorating the front entrance with elaborate greenery such as eucalyptus, poinsettias, or magnolia. Stick with the timeless tones of red and green and accent with gold or silver. Hang a marvelous large wreath on the door as well as dangling pinecones. Spray paint pinecones and edges of the leaves of the plants a metallic gold or silver to adorn the overall look. Not only will you be enthusiastic to return home every day, it will leave your guests in awe and overwhelmed with festive spirit.
3. Embellish Your Gifts
With your Christmas gifts peeking out from the tree, allow them to be part of the house’s decorations as well. Wrap your own gifs by making sure to match them with the room’s holiday décor. We suggest selecting at least two different wrapping paper rolls of different textures and three to four different types of ribbons. Playing with various textures will draw attention to the space underneath your tree. Add festive touches to the wrapping by including adornments such as snowflakes, holly, or even small dangling ornaments.
4. Create a Centerpiece
Design a centerpiece for your table for the Christmas meal. Stick with the theme of elegant and formal by decorating with the romantic timeless colours of Christmas—red and green, accented with metallic silver or gold. Choose to decorate with roses, berries, and metallic vases. Light many, many candles which will reflect elegantly on the colour theme. Make sure not to choose candles with heavy scents, so that your guests can savor the aromas of your Christmas meal!
5. An Ornament for All
The best way to decorate the tree is with memories collected by your family. Make it meaningful and thoughtful. That is why this Christmas, make your ornaments personal. Stick with the beloved ornaments that your family has collected over the years. Or the Personalised Christmas Ornament with Snowflake allows you to decorate your tree with a special memory held dear to the family engraved on the acrylic ornament. Decorating with ornaments that hold happy memories will add a personalised touch that other standard ornaments cannot compete with! Your tree will be filled with unique accessories that tell a story and will serve as a wonderful conversation piece amongst family and friends.
6. DIY Stockings
Skip the extravagant stockings this year and instead make your own (which can be a great activity to do with the kids). Transform your fireplace into a festive display. Take a trip to the local fabric/craft store and let your imagination run wild! Choose fabrics such as fleece or faux fur for a classic Santa-inspired stocking, or even choose from sweater material for a farmhouse Christmas-inspired theme, resulting in a traditional and old-fashioned look. No matter what you choose, your hand-crafted stockings will hold be of great significance. Be sure to customize with the names of each family member with customized name tags!
7. Personalised Gifts
With revamping Christmas gift-wrapping with a personal touch this year, why not update the gifts to something personalised as well? Personalised gifts will be always more appreciated and admired by the receiver. Gift a family member or close friend with mother necklaces, custom bracelets or name necklaces such as the Bangle Bracelet with Heart Shaped Pendants or Mother Necklace with Engraved Children Charms in which they can carry their loved ones wherever they go by engraving the names of those who are dearest to them. For the man of significant importance in your life, choose the Men Bracelet with Small Custom Beads from the men’s jewellery collection which may be customised too!
