The Yuletide season is
almost coming and maybe you already are thinking of how to decorate your house
in its most fancy way you could think of. Maybe you wanted to try another theme
and you do not want to repeat what you did last year. People who are living in,
for example, Ayala
condos or Rockwell
townhouses and residences, are probably in the shopping craze already.
Well, let’s make that as an advantage! And in this entry, we will be sharing to
you a few suggestions on what to decorate your home for this coming holiday
season!
#1. Theme Your Entry with A Warm Welcome
Give your guests a very warm
welcome with your very creative light decorations. One of the most favorite
(and fun) ways to light up the season is to have brilliant array of paper
luminaries. Yes, paper! You can line them along your front walks and driveways
for a fiery Christmas display.
You can create this gleaming
arrangement by generously covering the bottom of white paper bags with sand to
keep them sturdy. Arrange the bags in desired positions and then insert tea
lights tor battery-operated LEDs.
#2. Put Out Christmas Lanterns
Christmas lanterns will
never go out of style especially when this time comes every year. You can make
use of your lanterns that you have used a year ago. You can even redecorate
them or tweak them to make it more unique.
For quick-and-easy holiday
style, you can opt to arrange a group of festive lanterns at your entry way.
#3. Hang Vintage Ornaments
However, if you opt to use
the same ornaments from last year’s Christmas (and the previous year’s), you
can do so! Stick to the familiar ways of arranging and decorating your house.
Beautify your house with vintage glass ornaments and the ones given to you by
friends and family.
#4. Hang Decoration in Windows
Hanging Christmas decors on
your windows would also give your house a groovy feel because it is one portion
of the house that your guests will see next! You can opt to decorate it
inspired with a winter scene; snowflakes and fresh greenery, to add gist to
your bare windows.
#5. Add Built-in Bookshelves
Dining areas or living rooms
are often the places at home that need a bit of transformation, not just by
placing a dining set and a living room set, respectively. Give your dining room
(or your living room) a double-duty with built-in bookshelves that will help
transform the room into a mini library when not in use.
From there, you can also
touch the selves up with your favorite books and some Christmas decoration,
such as an advent wreath or a candy cane.
#6. Don’t Forget Outdoor Furniture
If you happen to have an
outdoor area at home and have thought of what Christmas decor you could add,
you can pull elements from your home’s décor by dressing up your outdoor
furniture. You can add throw pillows available to let your Christmas guests
know you have their comfort in mind.
#7. Tie Wreaths on Napkin Rings
This one is a simple take on
being creative; small grapevine napkin rings tied onto cloth napkins with
ribbon. A bit of a touch like this will not only help complete your Christmas
decorating theme, but will also give your guests idea on how to make simple
pieces without going over the top.
#8. Set Up a Breakfast Buffet
This would not only mean
setting up a scrumptious set of food on your dining room table, but also an
accentuated kitchen. Set up a Christmas breakfast buffet on your kitchen island
with fresh greenery and blooms. You can add hanging light fixture by attaching
a grapevine wreath to the bottom.
#9. Give Your Dining Table a Vivid Focal Point
Create centerpieces that
would catch an attention. But make sure to not overdo it, just enough for your
guest to appreciate the beauty that’s being presented to them. You can use
classic Christmas colors a fresh update by mixing velvety red with chartreuse
green on a punchbowl.
#10. Mason Jars as Snow Globe
This is more of creativity
and art at its finest! Instead of buying snow globes in department stores, why
don’t you try making one for yourself and use them as decorations at home for
Christmas? Aren’t this adorable?
