Christmas is already here, and it's time to decorate the house, think about menus, and design beautiful tables around which we will dine with the people we love.
There are some ideas beyond the classic tree and nativity scene to decorate your home with a festive spirit.
Christmas decorations are best with natural elements; you can introduce natural decorative items like pine cones, branches, and ornaments inspired by nature. Natural materials such as wood, bamboo, jute, and wicker can be incorporated into the décor, for example, by placing ornaments, baskets, and hampers.
The mix of green and gold is synonymous with sophistication and is a sure success. Especially if you set a table combining elements such as candlesticks and napkin rings with golden touches, with the green of the glasses or with fir-shaped candles, the result will be perfect. If you want to change the classic colour palette, white shades are perfect for recreating the festive spirit, although it is also possible to incorporate citrus colours, such as orange and terracotta. Pastel shades also help create cosy atmospheres. You can use them in candles, floral arrangements, and other Christmas decorations.
Candles are an essential element during this season to provide warmth. You can place them in different sizes strategically, alone or in groups, either inside lanterns, on centrepieces, in candlesticks, floating in water or in special corners, to add a touch of warmth to your home.
Cushions can be a key element in decorating your home with a festive spirit, as they help create warm and cosy spaces. To give it a different touch, you can choose cushions of different sizes, colours, and textures to decorate the living room and chairs in your home. These don't necessarily have to be in festive colours or motifs, but should blend with the usual décor of your house.
Another symbol of Christmas is stars, so hanging some in specific corners will help create the spirit of the season. There are pre-assembled stars available in decoration stores, and some even have their own light, functioning as lamps to illuminate your home while making a perfect combination with candles.
Another option is to create trees from less conventional materials, such as cardboard, shelves, ladders, or books, and decorate them with elements other than baubles and garlands. Also, you can choose to place a vinyl tree-shaped sticker on the wall to save time and space.
