Christmas is all about cozy family-feels. It is a
series of heartfelt moments put together as a festive season. Family
gatherings, traditions, food are all crucial parts of this big celebration. The
best of Christmas begins with the decorations and without decorations Christmas
is incomplete. Here are 5 awesome tips to cozy up your Christmas home this
year:
1. BEGIN WITH A THEME
A theme always adds the extra flair to decoration,
whether it be for Christmas or for any general purpose. Try to look for inspirations
on the internet. You may as well use ideas from your present theme. If the
walls of your home are painted white then it can be a great advantage. You can
put a good base colour along with a suitable decor colour to put up a
Christmas-y theme. For decor color you can go for shades of blue and purple to
give a cool, wintry mood to your house. Use curtains, candles and tiny
Christmas show-pieces of different hues of the same color in the house to
deepen the mood.
2. TWIGS OF TREES
Now,
we all know Christmas trees have never been out of trend. But, we also know
that it is rather hard to get along with the weight of a full tree. What’s more
disappointing is that these trees are used only once per year and so, happen to
be quite a financial torment on your budget list. So, why not opt for twigs for
decorative purposes? Turn twigs into decorative plants by holding a few strands
of long twigs in an ornamental vase. The benefit of this would be that it takes
less space without looking chaotic. Be creative and add ornaments to the twig
that would suit your floor and walls.
3. TRINKETS AND ORNAMENTS
Invest
your money of ornamental decorations that will last way beyond the festive
season. These decorations must match your theme color. This way you would be
investing on something more useful on a long-term basis. Choose gold trinkets
that will go with all hues of your room. Try colourful metallic bottles and
matching shades of glasses to decorate the room instead of the common
decorations. You can also add wooden decorations like trays and complement with
coloured scented candles. These will complement your house no matter what the
occasion is.
4. SET YOUR TABLE FOR A GLORIOUS FEAST
Christmas
is incomplete without a feast. A feast means a lot of hard work to prepare
food. Food, especially during feasts, need to look good and food looks good
with the correct service-ware and a perfectly set-up table. Add some miniatures
of Christmas trees and candles along with a few garlands at the centre of the
table to give that special vibe of Christmas. Make sure that the cutlery you
are using goes with the festive mood (choose gold if you cannot decide).
Glassware should be speckle-free and clear as that would add a sparkle to the
table. This set up would be both classic and classy.
5. OPT FOR LIGHTS
Fairy
lights are evergreen. You can dangle them, hang them to a specific shape, wrap
around the twigs or put them in a large bottle of transparent glass (beware of
heating). This always works regardless of how you put them.
