Holidays give us a great excuse to delve into the latest festive decor trends and have fun incorporating them into our homes. You can create a magical space by sticking to festive colors and the latest Christmas decor trends.
The warm glow of fairy lights can give doorways an instant luxurious boost. Acorns, holly berries, pine or cedar branches, fir, and mistletoe all sing Christmas. A welcoming doorway followed by a beautifully designed entryway will certainly give a lasting first impression. Start your holiday decor journey by making the front of your home welcoming.
Two great options include a colorful, patterned doormat with a dense pile and weighty potted cedar or pine trees. The former is not only decorative, but it can also absorb dirt and moisture from shoes, whereas the latter doubles as cute mini Christmas trees.
One item, such as a tried-and-tested wreath or enormous candy cane, is all you need to add a bit of festivity. Moreover, Christmas wreaths come in every style imaginable – colorful and metallic to natural and refined.
Your home can be anything from traditional, light and bright, unique and eclectic, or colorful and modern. You can use floral wire, tape pins, and craft glue to keep your wreath in place and fishing line for a no-show look or a cute ribbon.
The decoration can range from pinecones, dried phalaris, Christmas ornaments, bells, oranges, and even to fairy lights. Create a circular shape with entwined twigs or use a hoop for other pods, flowers, or Christmas ornaments.
Layer the items from the most voluminous (cedar branches) to the daintiest or feature pieces (holly or cranberry).
Hang up your creation on the front door, foyer, above a bed, as part of a gallery wall, or in the window frame, and marvel. Be sure to spread holiday cheer throughout your home with cheery Christmas decorating ideas. Bright colors, wacky Christmas ornaments, and prettiness in everything – even gifts double as décor this time around.
For instance, rich jewel tones of jade, amethyst, and ruby make an opulent combination, while pastels like duck egg, cotton candy, and soft yellow create a youthful and soft look. Celebrate the season’s frivolity with cute Christmas ornaments: mini snowmen, Santa, pink unicorns, and fluffy gnome scatter pillows can be just what your interior needs. Whichever style you prefer, modern Christmas tree ideas paired with perfect placement and décor tricks will certainly result in a pretty design you’ll want to share with loved ones. A traditional Christmas tree is timeless, and for good reason: it provides an uplifting green base for sparkly, bold, or neutral decor.
A white Christmas tree has an ethereal beauty unlike any other and can seem almost otherworldly when decorated correctly. But to make the most of the statement, pair the dark tree with delicate fairy lights or glossy décor that will stand out more.
As the simplest Christmas mantel decoration, a slightly wild winter foliage garland is also the most breathtaking. Secure fairy lights along the length of the garland and place two or three candles on the mantelpiece.
For a touch of drama, add a large pot plant and ornate mirror pictured above.
Alternatively, add a delicate dried orange garland, beads, and large golden bells to minimal greenery for a sunny look. Finally, mix crockery and cutlery and layer decoration to create a lovely tablescape. Dried wildflowers, mini succulents, and a little bowl of nuts are all these Christmas tables need for a sophisticated farmhouse look.
WHAT WE LOVE: The dramatic contrast of natural and metallic décor against black tables and crockery. Fairy lights and fluffy plants, like pampas grass, can give a table an ethereal and delicate quality.
Rough linen and pine give a lovely wintery look to the table on the right, whereas eucalyptus and white blooms add a summery air to the setting on the right.
Themed Dinnerware: Hand-painted stoneware has a beautiful rustic shape that provides an artisanal look but paired with glamorous Christmas table decorations they can be just as luxurious.
Hang a few of these fairy lights above the dining table or Christmas tree for a soft festive sparkle. Modern Ornaments: Architectural lines distinguish these glass globes from typical Christmas tree decorations.
A regal tartan duvet cover can just be the thing to inject a healthy dose of the season’s color into your interior.
